Opening .mov file with VLC from cmd of WIN XP

[mohsin7998]

Hi Everybody.

I am trying to open a video file from "RUN" of Win XP using vlc.

I am using the following line to do that:

"C:\xxx\vlc.exe" 'M:\xxx\file.mov'

But its not opening.

And what if I want to open multiple files using the above syntax i-e "C:\xxx\vlc.exe" 'M:\xxx\file1.mov' 'M:\xxx\file2.mov' 'M:\xxx\file3.mov'
Any idea?

Use double quotes ( " " ) for the path, too. If you specify more files they are queued up in the playlist. Works for me.

Thanks Tom its working now.

But I am unable to play more than 2 tracks as the RUN can accumulate more than two addresses. . It runs out of space.

Basically I am using python to run a command using RUN.

I am generating the path for files then using the following line to play videos.

self.qt_process = Popen([self.player, path)]

where, self.player = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe'
