Ok, I've finally come with a successful way to have a working
Windows XP autoplay "play using BSPlayer" method. (we all know that
BSPlayer, unlike Winamp, doesn't do anything if you provide it a
driveletter as a command line argument, the famous %L variable).

So here's what you have to do:

1. Install bsplayer exactly like this (but replace bspath with your own path):

start /wait bspath\bsplayer100.812.exe /S /D=C:\Progra~1\BSPlayer >nul

(This is actually a silent install, but it is only important that BSPlayer is installed in C:\Program Files\BSPlayer)

2. Download this completely silent rar sfx archive...
COMPLETELY SILENT SFX ARCHIVE (1.20MB)

3. ...and run it simply like this (replace bspath with your own path):

start /wait bspath\bst-autoplay.exe >nul

4. apply these registry settings:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Bspl.Play\Shell\play]
@="&Play"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Bspl.Play\Shell\play\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\BSPlayer\\bst-briss.exe\" %L"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\EventHandlersDefaultSelection]
"PlayVideoFilesOnArrival"="BRiSsPlayBS"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\EventHandlers\PlayVideoFilesOnArrival]
"BRiSsPlayBS"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\Handlers\BRiSsPlayBS]
"Action"="Play"
"Provider"="BSPlayer"
"InvokeProgID"="Bspl.Play"
"InvokeVerb"="play"
"DefaultIcon"=hex(2):25,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,46,00,69,\
  00,6c,00,65,00,73,00,25,00,5c,00,42,00,53,00,50,00,6c,00,61,00,79,00,65,00,\
  72,00,5c,00,62,00,73,00,70,00,6c,00,61,00,79,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,65,00,78,\
  00,65,00,2c,00,30,00,00,00

And that's it!

Now take some divx movie and test it by inserting the CD in any drive!
You can do the testing without reinstalling Windows, ofcourse...

Thanks in advance

tnx but there is a problem you cant play vcd/svcd in bsplayer no plugins. i use Media player classic for this type of movies.

SVCD = .mpg .mpeg .dat

[buletov]

well maybe one day bsplayer will support it...
and dvd movies also, hopefully...

ive made an inf that does exactly what the above reg file does, but except c:\program files isnt hard coded, your bsplayer.exe must be in %programfiles%\bsplayer\bsplayer.exe for it to work

bsplayer.inf

[Version]
signature = $CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg = bsplayerAP
