Remarks
The media item will load and play automatically, regardless of the value retrieved by the IWMPSettings::get_autoStart method. To load an item without playing it automatically, pass in a VARIANT_BOOL set to FALSE in the IWMPSettings::put_autoStart method and specify a URL in IWMPCore::put_URL, after which IWMPControls::play can be called to start playing the item.
Note playItem works only with items retrieved from IWMPCore::get_currentPlaylist. Calling playItem with a reference to a saved media item is not supported.
