Automation using vb.net 2003 or 2005
« on: June 21, 2005, 08:30:26 pm »

Has anyone used the Media Core Commands from the command line to issue a playback command to a specific zone in J Rivers Media Center (presently using version 11.0.292). The following seems to work fine to toggle play/pause in the currently active zone:
Shell("C:\WINNT\System32\MC11.exe /MCC 10000, 0")
Hopefully an actual example of a command would help me to understand the mask procedure in order to direct a playback command to a specific zone. Many thanks (in advance) for any help in this matter.

If you are using vb.net to control Media Center it might be easier to use the Media Center SDK (a COM component for controlling Media Center).

I have played around with using the beta of VB.net 2005 with this component and it works great.
