I need to write a script which will launch a video in full-screen mode every 2 hours and then close the video and proceed as normal. Questions:
1) What do I need to know to do that if the video-player is Windows Media Player (standard, Win7)? Should I read about it's API or public functions/classes somewhere?
2) What should I write it on? C#, any other language? Shall it be a permanently run console app?

You can probably do it in a few lines with powershell. All you need is a loop with a timer. It opens mediaplayer and sends it a fullscreen signal and later kill signal. You don't need any APIs for this at all, just a tiny script with any language.

Can anyone help me figure this nonsense out? I'm trying to parse a text file line by line and store each line in a variable in C but I keep running into issues. I'm use fgets to read the file and sscanf to do shit line by line.
while(fgets(BUFFER, sizeof(BUFFER), file) != NULL){
sscanf(BUFFER, "%s", firstLine);
//I've tried sccanf(BUFFER, "%s[^\n]", firstLine), but it just adds every first char/string before spacing
}
I just have no clue how to read a line, add it to a variable, and then do the next line until we're at the end of the file. Google is giving me nothing.

Come on, it's not that hard. Google "c read a file" and open the first stack overflow link.

Went full autism and did fp16 and int8 inference on object detection. sub millisecond inference time lmao

>fgets(BUFFER, sizeof(BUFFER), file)
you're sizeof()'ing a char pointer and putting it into an int
set it as an upper bound or -1

Thank you, user, I will start learning how to work with Powershell rn.
