from os import startfile startfile("C:/Users/idekmauser/desktop/startup.mp4") It does play but not fullscreen how can I make it play fullscreen

You Must Give The Directory As A String Like This
"C:\Users\idekmauser\desktop\startup.mp4"
and not this
C:\Users\idekmauser\desktop\startup.mp4
And You Can Run Your MP4 With This Snippet
from os import startfile startfile(r"C:\Users\idekmauser\desktop\startup.mp4") For Reference: [os.startfileDocs] [StackOverflow]

This error occurs because you are using a normal string as a path. Just put r before that.. and I also edited in the answer too startfile(r"C:\Users\idekmauser\desktop\startup.mp4")
The error is caused by i guess you adding C:\Users\idekmauser\desktop\startup.mp4 in the begning of the file which is not a string
Your code should look something like this
from os import startfile def play_movie(): startfile("C:/Users/idekmauser/desktop/startup.mp4") play_movie() Otherwise to play sounds you can use a Library like playsound
So you start by first installing it
pip3 install playsound After that your code should look something like this
from playsound import playsound playsound("C:/Users/idekmauser/desktop/startup.mp4")

Sorry instead of \ you have to use / i forgot to change it. Because otherwise it is going to count as a unicode escape character

No problems, i changed and it should work now

C:\Users\idekmauser\desktop\startup.mp4is not a string. Please take a tutorial first.
