Movieplayer uses a Textfile to the assembly of his/its layout. By putting together of such descriptions, the Player can be composed from different components. This process can become enforce through a corresponding Settingsmodul interactive.


The Movieplayer can be called File,Play/S,Loop/S,Close/S by a Shell with the parameters, with what File declares the name of the Movies, Play directly after the store of the Movies playing starts, Loop the unending-mode Close switches on and closes the Player after achievement of the Movieendes.
