/SilentImport of directory tree
« on: May 17, 2005, 07:48:13 am »

Can someone confirm that I can still *not* use /SilentImport to silently import a directory and (recusively) all its sub-directories? Is there any other non-interactive way that can do this - that I can trigger from MJExtMan/Girder/COM/etc?

Is this planned at all? It seems to have been requested several times over the last year or two.

Command line imports should support paths now.  This is new to MC 11.

Sorry to be a niusance Matt, But can you (or anyone) clarify further please.

My understanding from earlier postings was that the command line imports will import a directory insofar as it imports the files immediately within the directory. But it will not import the contents of descendant sub-directories.

Have I got the wrong idea?

What I have is a directory structure: C:\Music\<artist>\<album>\<track>.wma and I want to be able to refresh the library from this directory with a single silent operation acting on C:\Music

Is what I want possible?

Thanks

Something like this should work:

Media Center 11 Launcher.exe /SilentImport "C:\Music\"

or

Media Center 11 Launcher.exe /SilentImport "C:\Music\Abba\"|"C:\Music\Aerosmith\"

Matt,

Thank you. That worked just as I wanted (with 11.0.269). Somehow (from earlier postings) I had got it into my head that the import was not recursive. But I am very pleased to be proved wrong.

Cheers
