[@swarnendubanerjee502]

[@AdventureNowYT]

I know how to FIX save alot of people time! If you have spaces in the file path or file name it will not load your video. you're welcome! 😄

[@IsnuckINSIDE]

OMG you fixed it thx

[@Termosulboreas]

[@Liliths_Chamber]

or adding commas works

[@iMatty_Pro]

( after login task )YES AFTER 6 HOURS I GOT IT WORKING! so the issue was that when you type the file it if the video have spaces it won't load and the 2 problem is that the place of the video it need to be in Videos ex: C:\Users\*your pc user*\Videos\*name of the video*

Fixed code for Windows 11 (04-07-2024). Follow steps but put this in .bat file: -- @echo off start /min "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "**PATH OF VIDEO**" --fullscreen --no-osd --no-playlist-enqueue timeout /t **LENGTH OF VIDEO AS NUMBER (EX: 10)** >nul taskkill /f /im vlc.exe >nul 2>&1 exit --- Note: Do not include asterisks

[@MysTicalBread]

does this work dude? and in the number part is there a space on it?

[@Fancy_Frost]

In task scheduler, if i run the task it works just fine. But it will not show the video on startup, and if i choose after log in, it's very delayed.

[@osamabadr1815]

Same here

[@Umm_FLIP]

you have to turn on “run wether this user is logged on or not”

[@ist.media10]

I opens then closes straight after. I removed the vlc://quit and it says something about not being able to open a file in system32. I did not put a file path to anything in system 32, can someone please help?

[@chonkeetoad]

does this only work for pc not laptop. Reason is because i have 2 monitors and the video won't show up on them even if i have both set as my main display. i want the video to play on both monitors but it won't any help/fix?

[@Thebananahand_]

try duplicating your display in windows settings

[@lunap6650]

it just keeps saying couldn't find file name and then the whole line of text

[@UnseenShadowYT]

How do I set that on my screen 2 on startup ? I have small monitor inside my pc case and I want to loop video on startup

[@KMdonatestuntguy]

for some reason my problem is the opposite of most peoples problems for mine my problem is the video runs but the audio wouldn't

[@Reyhank45Gaming]

[@FictionVent]

Go into your VLC settings and you can make stuff play full screen by default when it opens

switch it to on workstation unlock and it should work whenever you log in. if you power off, and power back on and log in in it wont work.

not working?

[@fili5928]

is that possible on MacBook Pro?

[@yasharthverma]

windows only xD

[@Cookie_clicker]

Does it require the “C:\Users\Example\Videos\Example.mp4” These things “ “?

[@Thebananahand_]

you dont need it for the video file, but you do for the application

[@Cookie_clicker]

No I mean on the bat notepad because every time i paste the path it just has “those things” and when I tried to do all the steps correctly there is an error that the file is not found so how to fix?

[@MisterAviation]

How do I make it so it won’t show the desktop before Video

[@Thebananahand_]

you cant do that. the batch file needs to execute when you log in to the desktop so it can open vlc, and with load times, you may see the desktop

[@James_gamer07792]

it doesn't work on windows 11 :(

[@VelhaHH]

When i test it in thw schedler it works but when i start the pc it dont runs.

[@Thebananahand_]

it should work whenever you log on without the pc already being turned off from my past experience, switch it to on workstation unlock and it should work whenever you log in

[@super_coconut11]

@@Thebananahand_ i did this and it only plays audio, any fix?

[@Thebananahand_]

I Do Have Some Solutions For You That Could Solve The Problem 1. Make Sure the slashes are \ , not / , and don't have two next to each other EX: C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe 2. in task scheduler, click on the scheduled thing you named, then right click, properties, trigger, edit and change to 'on workstation unlock' This will make the file run every time you log in. 3. see if vlc needs to be updated 4. If none of these worked, you can try a different video player like, windows media player (C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe) or any other video player of your choice and just change the vlc://quit to (exe file name)://quit Hope This Helps If none of these work then I don't know what else will

[@MiD218]

Hey man, Ijust spend a good hour trying to figure out the same. On 1 PC it worked fine and it wouldn't work on another. The problem was that the filepath was too long on PC 2. Try placing the video in the root folder C: and see if that works.

[@kurmit0076]

You are the only video on how to do this and it wasn’t helpful. Still can’t get the video to play at all. Why did I download vlc? You didn’t use it at all during this!!!

[@tman7419]

When I manually make it run in task scheduler ( 3:03 ) it opens and closes immediately Update: it opens vlc now that I removed vlc://quit, but doesn't open my video

[@Thebananahand_]

I had this problem to. I think the window gets minimized when the command is executed. When it is playing, just open vlc at the bottom and it will show up. run it again and it should show.
