I hope this is the right forum, please move or let me know where to post if it isn't :D

Is there anyway that i could possible run a script after pressing play on a video file but before playback starts?
All my media is stored on external hard drives and i have scripts to start/stop the hard drives depending on when they are needed.

What i would like to do is wait for the video file to become available before continuing with playback. Initially i thought i could use a script as the dynamic refresh rate changer, but i can't get the playback to wait til its finished, even using wait.exe like in the forum.
I could also do it by using an external player, but i really want to keep it simple and use the internal one with all its bonuses if possible.

Anyone got any ideas?

Great work on the RC by the way. Its awesome!

Thanks everyone.
