VIF files

If you want to autoplay a movie from CD you must put file named ViPlay.vif in ViPlay's directory on that CD.

.vif files support relative pahts.

For eg. if ViPlay.exe is in %CDROM%\program\ViPlay directory, and movie is in %CDROM%\movie directory than path in Movie section should look like this:

Directory=..\..\movie


Section [Main]

NumberCDs=N

Optional
N=Total number of CDs

If movie is on more than 1 CD then at the end of movie, the player will automatically search for next CD.
It will do the following:
Search all CD-ROM drives for a .vif file that contains 'CD=CurrentCDNumber+1' line.
If .vif file is found it will read further info from that .vif file.
If it's not found then it will prompt for CD.
If movie was run from hard drive it will search for .vif file on hard drive first.
