Hello,

I would like to run a .bat file when a JRVR video profile is activated. Is it possible and how ?

At the moment, I use my keyboard by assigning a key for this. It is a good workaround but not automatised enough.

Thanks

Hello.

Can anyone help me ? Thanks.

The scenario would be as follows : once profile for 2.35 aspect ratio is automatically triggered, it will run also a .bat file allowing to send command to my videoprojector for zooming.

As I said all of this work, I just need to run the .bat file manually by pressing a programmed key on my PC keyboard.

We don't support running any external commands with JRVR profiles currently.

Thank you.

Is there a way to add a keyboard shortcut or hotkey for individual profiles? I want to be able to switch between BT709 and BT2020 for my JVC projectors.

Zones and Zoneswitch on the wiki.

Zones are not involved here

https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,136159.msg966586.html#msg966586 gives a hint, ultimately you need to send an MCC command

Why would you need to switch manually for that case though? Isn't it driven by the content which is tagged hence can automatically switch?

[Hoi]

For some reason many of my 1080p files don't get fully tagged and the color space is left blank. If I set the screen gamut to auto, BT2020 content seems to output as BT709.

Separate zones can be configured differently.  Ctrl-T toggles.

[Hendrik]

JRVR settings don't interact with zones. It's separate, as it can depend on a lot of different factors, and even change mid-playback (something zones can't do)

This is now possible with MC 33.0.52 or above, which adds a Before playback expression setting and a ShellRun() function.
1. create your batch file so that it takes the AR as an argument (e.g., setZoom.bat)
2. set Before Playback expression to:
  if(isEqual([media type],Video), shellrun(cmd, //c c:\scripts\setZoom.bat [Aspect Ratio], 3), )

You can use [Aspect Ratio] or any other field(s) that you like.
ShellRun()'s Mode 3 will wait for the batch to finish before starting playback; use mode 1 if waiting is not required.

Hello thank you for this, I could not test it till now. JRiver is new for me, where in JRiver can I enter such coding ?

Tools > Options > Library&Folders > Expresions: Before Playback Expression

Simplified expression:
 if(isEqual([media type],Video), shellrun(c:\scripts\setZoom.bat, [Aspect Ratio], 3), )

Up to you to provide the setZoom.bat script, of course.
