Hi everyone, had a question and not sure really where topost this, but here goes, is there any type of software or anything that willplay a certain video file every morning at a certain time. Then automaticallyswitch to a different file to play on loop. I would sit and do it myself, butif there is ever a time I am not at my desk then we a have a problem. So ifanyone knows of anything I appreciate it greatly.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

If you haven't already downloaded ffmpeg, download it and install it. To make things simple, create a .bat file in the same folder as you installed ffmpeg. Name it something like morning_videos.bat. .bat files are just simple text files. In the file write the commands:
ffplay -fs "path\to\video1.mp4"
ffplay -fs -loop 0 "path\to\video2.mp4"
The -loop 0 will make it loop forever. You should probably set it for a certain number of times so eventually it will stop later in the day, so it can start all over again in the next moring.
Using the Windows Scheduler, create a task to run this batch file at your required time. -
I don't use scripting with it, but VLC can apparently be run using a script as well. http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html
