Automatic shutdown after films/music?

[Simonnn]

I'm just wondering if its possible through any software, to be able to have the player setup so after a film or album finishes playing it automatically turns off the computer? I normally watch films at night and fall asleep to them, but it annoys me having the computer on all night, just wondered if this is possible?

you could run a dos command of shutdown -t xx (xx is the number of seconds u need) i think that is right, do shutdown /? to find the right string

Yeah, or along the same lines, you could add a scheduled task that just calls shutdown.exe - in this way, you can specify the time a bit easier than having to work out the number of seconds.

You could use the /c parameter to force any running programs to close, so that it doesn't hang the shutdown if any app doesn't quit cleanly.

VLC can do this, iirc.

I think media player classic in the K-lite codec pack has this option?
