Hi
on a Mac and struggling to find a way to bind a key to a specific favourite view or audio sub tree.

for example if I have a tree like this (see attached) where I have a sub audio tree named `XAlbums`, how does one bind a key to jump to it?

thx a lot

As far as I know, there's no MCC (media center core command) to change tree or view.  To bind a key using MC, you need an MCC to execute.

There appears to be an MCWS command (web REST interface) that can show views, but I can't get it to work.  The function is called "Show" and is in the user interface section of MCWS.

http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/doc

Of course even if you can get that to work, you'd have to use some external key mapping program which is not a part of MC since MC can not call MCWS stuff from it's key bindings.

You can open several tabs and keep them on your favorite views and then have MC start up in "last location", which will preserve all of your tabs and what you have them showing.

There's also some functionality under View > Navigation > Organize Favorites that's related to this I think.  I have never used it as it seems confusing to me.  But maybe it can help you.

That's all I've got!  Good luck.

Brian.

I'm making MCWS/v1/UserInterface/Show richer in the next build.

Here's the history:
Changed: Made the MCWS UserInterface/Show treat anything that's not a known string as a tree path to select.

Thanks for the prod :)

zeltak:
Sounds very promising

thx a lot will wait for next version

Hi Matt and all

I understand that in the latest version you implemented the selection of the view:

"Changed: Made the MCWS UserInterface/Show treat anything that's not a known string as a tree path to select."

I'm trying to get it to work but a bit lost, appreciate  any help with this. So I have a view called "3Main". Im issuing this:



--- Code: ---zeltak@imbp-50:/|⇒  wget http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/UserInterface/Show\=3Main -O /dev/null

--- End code ---

but get this error


--- Code: -----2019-07-20 11:42:40--  http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/UserInterface/Show=3Main
Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1, ::1

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 Internal server error
2019-07-20 11:42:40 ERROR 500: Internal server error.

--- End code ---

can anyone show me an example of how to get it to work?

thx a lot
