Parameter passing in Media Player

[J Gabriel]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I want to see if anyone can help me with the following problem.

I am developing a home entertainment system which calls a Media Player (or
any player capable of play VCD/DVD tracks, karaoke tracks).

I have already established a database consists of song codes and songs in
..WAV format.

I want to call the ‘Player’ from a program with parameter, for example

CALL XYZ PLAYER
WITH PLAYLIST =
(C:\MUSCIAL\TRACK01, LEFT VOLUME = 99, RIGHT VOLUME = 99, ……and other
possible parameters);
(C:\MUSCIAL\TRACK02, LEFT VOLUME = 99, RIGHT VOLUME = 99, ……and other
possible parameters);
(C:\MUSCIAL\TRACK03, LEFT VOLUME = 99, RIGHT VOLUME = 99, ……and other
possible parameters);
(C:\MUSCIAL\TRA4K04, LEFT VOLUME = 99, RIGHT VOLUME = 99, ……and other
possible parameters);
(C:\MUSCIAL\TRACK05, LEFT VOLUME = 99, RIGHT VOLUME = 99, ……and other
possible parameters);

END.

Where PLAYLIST is a temporary flat file to record tracks being selected by
users.
C:\MUSCIAL\TRACK00 .. 99 are the Karaoke tracks located in my hard disk
LEFT VOLUME = 99, 99 is the dB in which the track is played, same goes for
RIGHT VOLUME
Other Possible parameters could be settings on a equalizer

Track will be played in the sequence of the PLAYLIST

IDEA OF SYSTEM SET UP

A Server and a client, the server
hosts all the musical tracks
gives a selection and play list screen
allow user to manipulate the PLAYLIST
The client
The video output is enclosed in a three-cell table
The top cell displays the next song play
The middle cell is the screen itself
The bottom cell consists of instruction like F1 to stop, F2 to … etc.,

Anyone knows of any Player which can accept parameters?

The later half of this question, I think I can implement it by program
coding, it is a matter of whether such a media player exist. I would be
grateful if anybody can show lights to my problem. Many thanks.
