Imagine this scenario if you will: you put a movie on, lie happily in bed and look forward to spending the next hour and a half in comfort, enjoying a good movie. When the movie ends you would rather not get out of bed and turn off the computer; you would much rather BS.Player will automatically shut down the computer for you.

The BS.Player media player would not be used by more than 70 million people all over the world if it didn't cater to the user’s needs – like his need to comfortably stay in bed, as opposed to getting up and manually shutting down the computer.

Here is what you have to do to automatically shut down your computer when the movie is over in BS.Player:

Step 1. Launch BS.Player -> right click the user interface.

Step 2. In the menu that appears, go to Options -> click Preferences.

Step 3. In the BS.Player Preferences window, click General from the left hand side.

Step 4. Now look to the right. Under When Finished there's a dropdown menu -> from that menu select Shutdown computer.

Step 5. Click Close and you’re done.

Tips and warnings
  • Those of you that would much rather use a keyboard shortcut than the mouse, can simply press Ctrl + P and do away with steps 1 and 2.
  • Don’t have BS.Player installed on your computer? Learn how to install the media player by following the steps presented in this tutorial.
  • You could also automatically shut down your computer with a free piece of software called SmartSleep. With SmartSleep you can instruct your computer to shutdown, reboot, hibernate, log off, and so on after a specific amount of time (like after 2 hour) or at a specific time (like at 1AM).
