Clear Current playlist in theater view
« on: March 21, 2007, 12:55:00 pm »

Is there any quick way to do this? It's annoying having to go to each song and manually remove it.

do you mean 'playing now'?
are you using a remote with theaterview, and/or girder, or a keyboard?

Sorry yes I mean playing now - and I'm using nothing in theatre view but the mouse. I'm trying to figure out If I'll be able to use this with a touch screen (ie, left click only).

mm, there is an mcc command and a commandline to clear playing now, dont know if they still work because not all mcc commands in the dev zone are up to date. but i also would not know woh to integrate that in a touchscreen (on a remote or a keyboard you could use a button for it.

MC12.exe /Clear [mode] clears Playing Now playlist.  If mode is empty, all items will be removed. If mode is DontRemoveCurrent, currently playing file will not be removed.

Gappie's right.

Also, you can't clear everything in Playing Now per se. Playing something new replaces Playing Now.

There should be a CLEAR button but you can add your own to the Theater View main menu. Go to Tools|Options|Theater View and hit the ADD button. Select "Custom item". Fill in the dialog as show:

Name: Clear
Type: Program
Parameter: MC12.exe /Clear

Hit OK

There will now be a "Clear" button on Theater View's Main Menu.

That works, but Meda Center minimizes at the same time! ?
