Player that has ability to schedule a start

[phillynew]

Anyone know of any players that you can set a start play time into. I want to be able to have a file play at the same time everyday. Or a hardware solution?

Windows -> Scheduled Tasks maybe?

I've been able to use the task scheduler to start playing a DVD using command line parameters, but the problem I've run into is that if the DVD has a complex menu, there is no guarantee that the actual movie will start playing, it may just sit at the menu...

Anyone know of a way to schedule a DVD to actually play at predefined times (without ripping the DVD)?

Does the player have a command line parameter for title #? If so, play the movie, see what title it is, add the parameter. That should start the movie instead of the menu.

The problem is that I want this to work, no matter what DVD is in the drive and I've found that the movie is not always the same title # on different DVDs...
