play

Plays a file
Syntax

play <filename>

Description
Plays a file by using the media type matching.
If <filename> is a relative path, KVIrc will firs make a pre-guess of the media type by matching the filename (no magic check), then look for the file in the save directory for the media type guessed, then look in a set of standard directories (including the kvirc local pics, incoming and audio directories and the home directory).
If the <filename> is an absolute path, no lookup will be made.
If the file can be found, a second media type guess will be performed, this time eventually matching also the magic bytes.
If the file matches a media type, the commandline of that media type will be executed, passing the filename as the first parameter ($0).
