object

      Object associated with this media control interface command. The object can be one of the following:

      • Device type
      • Device name
      • Filename
      • Alias
      FROM pos
        Specifies the frame at which to start playing. If FROM is omitted, PLAY starts at the current position.
      TO pos
        Specifies the frame at which to stop playing. If TO is omitted, PLAY stops at the end frame.
      FAST
        The device is to play faster than normal. To specify the speed more precisely, use the SPEED keyword. To determine the exact speed of a particular player, use the STATUS object SPEED command.
      REVERSE
        The play direction is backwards. This applies only to CAV discs.
      SLOW
        The device is to play slower than normal.
      SCAN
        The play speed is as fast as possible, possibly with audio disabled. This applies only to CAV discs.
      SPEED units
        Play at the specified speed. Speed is set in units specified by SET object SPEED FORMAT. This applies only to CAV discs.
      WAIT
        The command is executed synchronously. The function waits until the requested action is complete before returning to the application.
      NOTIFY
        The command is executed asynchronously, allowing control to be returned immediately to the application. When the requested action is complete, an MM_MCINOTIFY message is sent to the application window procedure.
