Hi all, I have been able to download a number of streaming video files, which, after having downloading a very basic player, can play them one at a time. Double click event. They have to be closed using the X out top right. These files have a .FLV extension, so no good media players will play them. I have a little experience with batch files, so with a little effort, I was able to play them, but in a very clumsy way. This is a preview of what I wrote... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx echo on start baby.flv pause start lioninwnter.flv pause start ohbaby.flv xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It works, but it's ugly. After the first video, I have no command to shut it down, so the proceedure is to X it out, press, any key to bring up the new video. For starters, closing the first file at it's completion would be nice, but at the same time, the 99 second wait command, isn't long enough. I don't know if a batch file, is the answer, but anything I could do with it to make it more automated would be a help. Thanks in advance... Jack Hall... Just trying

If anybody's looking. I've spent some time with this and have come up with a method for sequencing. Never thought of multiple delays, but this is working. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx echo on start baby.flv REM | choice /c:delay /td,99>NUL REM | choice /c:delay /td,99>NUL REM | choice /c:delay /td,30>NUL start lioninwnter.flv xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But, I would like to close the first file before the second one plays. As it stands, the second file lays on top of the first, and I don't know how far I can go with that. If anyone knows how to close the first file, with a command, I'd appreciate it. I'm only showing 2 files, but I would like to run somewhere around 8 files per batch file.. I've tried every command I can think of, and none of them work. I.E. close, end, exit ect. Thanks in advance.... Jack Hall Just trying

I appreciate the reply Tonysathre, but 2 problems. It's only good for Xp and I have 98SE. Second it still doesn't permit auto sequencing, which is my goal. Thanks... Jack Just trying
