Thank you for even reading this post here in MM2. I figured that the
MM2 crowd has had this issue and know a solution.

I want to use Windows MediaPlayer to show video created with MM2. How
can you get WMP9 to start from the beginning full screen mode? I have
asked this on the WMP9 group to no avail...

Thank you!

Hi there,

I have never actually looked to see if there is an option in Windows
Media Player.

I use Windows Media Player a lot on my web pages. WMP is actually an
ActiveX when used in this way

Here is a piece of code that will do the display in a web page

<html><head><title>No title</title></head><body>
<object id="OCX1"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.
cab#Version=6,4,5,715" align="absmiddle"
classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
<param name="rate" value="1">
<param name="balance" value="0">
<param name="currentPosition" value="0">
<param name="playCount" value="1">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="currentMarker" value="0">
<param name="invokeURLs" value="true">
<param name="volume" value="50">
<param name="mute" value="false">
<param name="uiMode" value="full">
<param name="stretchToFit" value="false">
<param name="windowlessVideo" value="false">
<param name="enabled" value="true">
<param name="enableContextMenu" value="false">
<param name="fullScreen" value="true">
<param name="enableErrorDialogs" value="false">
<param name="_cx" value="6350">
<param name="_cy" value="4868">
<param name="URL" value="THE FILE NAME AND PATH GO HERE">
</object>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</body>
</html>

You can cut and paste this into a web browser of Web Page editor, add the
path to your own file and away you go. HOWEVER, running it this way will
obscure your web browser. What I always tell people to do is to double click
the image right at the beginning and that sends it to full screen. Also,
take not that if you try to show a low resolution video using full screen it
will very likely look quite awful.

I still have not checked if you can do it in WMP alone...I would be
surprised if you could not...but it may require access to the developers
edition (SDK)

Hope this helps a little

Try "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" "c:\video.wmv"
/fullscreen (for example)

If running from the "run" dialogue, you just need wmplayer.exe c:\video.wmv
/fullscreen

or you could put it all in a batch file - enter the right info into a text
file, do a "save as > all file types" and give the file a .bat extension,
double click and you're off and running.
