MCWS PlayDoctor: Seed parameter?

(1/3) > >>

cncb:
What are the possibilities for the Seed parameter and what is the format?  File key? Artist name?  Thanks.

Matt:
It's the same thing you would type into the Play Doctor box in Playing Now.  It says:
"Enter any artist, genre, or song."

cncb:
I don't see a Play Doctor box in Playing Now.  I am able to start Play Doctor by right-clicking on a track or library item.  So, it expects a track name string instead of a key?  An album name would not work?  Thanks.

Matt:
I think an album would work as well.

You should see the box if you stop playback in any Playing Now.  It's in the space above the file list.

cncb:
I was checking while music was playing so I didn't see the box  :).

How do you specify what the string is in the MCWS Seed parameter (i.e. indicate it is a song name, artist, genre, etc.)?  For example, if I call it with the song name of "Dreams" it doesn't seem to interpret that as the song name and doesn't start playing that song first as it does in the MC UI.  It also seems to add somewhat "unrelated" tracks to playing now (at least when compared to how it behaves when starting from the MC UI).  I tried using [Name]=Dreams but that doesn't work.
