Support Request: Running an App Behind the Digital Signage Player

Description

Can you help walk me through the process of this?

I'm using the Digital Signage player in the auto-login mode through the restricted account. I would like an app like VLC player to be able to play background music while the signage player runs. I was able to get the player to open and play automatically, but the problem is that it appears on top of the signage player. I just want the app to run hidden in the background with the signage player always on top. Is there a way to do this?

If it won't work the way I described, do you have any suggestions on how I could get background music to play in general? I'm trying to just play a playlist of MP3s.

Thanks

It looks like this is what I would need to run in the command prompt. How would I run this inside that restricted account?

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --qt-start-minimized

I was able to do it through the task scheduler. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though.
