JRVR Profile Selection
jmone:
Sorry It's my poor explanation (or I'm missing something which could be the case). Just retested and it works fine swapping a profile for a particular file and while it is playing :) but the next one in a playlist reverts back to the "Default"
What we are after is a persistent, non file based, global swapping of profile, eg:
- Set up 2 Profiles, say "Default" (or "16:9 Lens") and "Anamorphic Lens"
- I now want to select say the "Anamorphic Lens" profile and have that used for all playback till I manual select "Default" (or "16:9 Lens") profile
The issue at present is that you can play the same file with 2 different lens engaged on a projector (there is no way for MC to know) but you need to swap to the other profile and keep it there till the lens is changed again. This swap could happen during a playlist.
It may be easier to think of it as loading the "Anamorphic Lens" or "16:9 Lens" settings into "Default" via MCWS.

I'd prefer this too! I use scaling profiles, my default is essentially the 'highest' profile, but I have a few more pedestrian ones. These lesser profiles tend to get used when I'm doing something exceedingly taxing on the system doing playback. If I populate the queue with some items and in and tell JRiver to switch to one of these other profiles (`http://${activeEndpointInfo.ip}:${activeEndpointInfo.mcwsPort}/MCWS/v1/Control/MCC?Command=10075&Parameter=${profileIndex}`), the choice isn't respected for the entire queue.

The other option would be to have JRVR settings being different using "Zones" ? More cumbersome to maintain keeping all other MC settings in sync between the two zones, but it would work.
jmone:
The Zone idea is bad as playback would not continue when you swapped zones in the middle of a playlist
So, I'm browsing the available System/Global based fields (eg not file metadata) that I can both set (using MCWS) and then check in the JRVR Profile Selection rules that will not interfere with playback.
Even adding a single System/Global field like "Note" should work.
jmone:
Just try to test out the idea setting a Global Var then using JRVR Profile Rules to match it, but I'm not sure on the syntax for this 2nd part,
No probs using "http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/Repeat" to set to Off, Playlist etc (and to check it's selection)
...but what's the required syntax in the JRVR Profile matching dialoge to test for this condition (I've tried guessing a few but none seemed to be valid):
[Playback Repeat Mode]=[Playlist]
[Playback Mode]=[Playlist]
[Mode]=[Playlist]
