hi all

I would think this is possible but cant find any reference to it in the documentation (https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands):

how does one via mcc/mcws, issue a command to jump to a specific view in the audio tree, ie `albums` or `artists`? (see image attached)

thx alot!

sooo im guessing not possible?

any workaround anyone can think of to jump with a keyboard directly to a specific audio view?

thx

You could use ctrl-tab to cycle through open tabs.

There's ShowTreePath, that still works from the Windows "Run" tool. So you could probably craft something yourself using that?

MC31.exe /ShowTreePath "Audio\Albums"

wow thats exactly what I was looking for..but im on a Mac

I tried it like this

Code: [Select]

/Applications/Media\ Center\ 31.app/Contents/MacOS/Launcher.app/Contents/MacOS/Launcher /ShowTreePath "Audio\Albums"
but that does not seem to do anything

am I correct to understand this is a windows only option?

also if not is it possible to feature request this for V32

thx

The macOS version of the launcher is missing many of the options supported in the Windows version.

The /ShowTreePath command is one of them.  I reported this five years ago:

thx @meBiff

should we ask this again as a feature request for V32?

am I right and MCWS is missing that function?

Look at UserInterface/Show.

I was just playing and it seems to work well.

Here's a sample I was using:
http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/UserInterface/Show?View=Audio\Genres\Acoustic

thx so much @Matt!!

That example does work.  But a subsequent call:

http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/UserInterface/Show?View=Audio

doesn't.  It goes to Genres.

That's because a click on "Audio" just picks whatever child view you used last.

[MrBiff]

Yes, that I see.

But a Server error 500 Status: Failure Information is returned when the tree item is already selected.  This means its impossible to distinguish a TRUE server error vs. Unchanged when making MCWS calls.

These are not server errors - they should return 4xx codes.  If that can't happen, at least please always provide information as to what the error is.

[Matt]

I'll address that in v32.  Thanks for the help.

[zeltak]

Hi all

was this ever addressed?

[zeltak]

Hi matt

Z

[Matt]

Just try it and let us know if you think anything else should change.  Thanks.

[zeltak]

thx!!
