Hi,

is it possible to load a custom autorun.brs file onto compact player internal memory and for this autorun script to be used, on power-up, to play media files on the flash card?

looking at the shell commands, would it be the 'writebootfile' command we can use? Is it necessary to specify full paths?

  See link to attached script below. Name your script boot.brs that you want loaded into memory. Keep in mind if you're referencing any files on the sd card, you'll need to point to the sd card explicitly. So, if you were playing movie.mpg before, you'll need to play SD:/movie.mpg.
