Hi!

How can I create slide show synchronized with playlist?

Unfortunately creating simple playlist with image and audio files doesn't work.
I want something like following sequence:

image1.jpg
audio1.mp3
audio2.mp3
image2.jpg
audio3.mp3
audio4.mp3
audio5.mp3
....


Image is displayed (preferably) on secondary monitor until playback reaches next image on playlist.
Currently audio playback is independent from images.

I've managed to achieve similar functionality in MediaMonkey (using Visual Basic scripting interface), but I don like it's playlist management.


AFAIK MC doesn't have way to attach any scripts or actions to events (i.e. start file playback)

There is no way to do this.

Have you folks thought of licensing some code or working on an API exchange with the people at http://wnsoft.com/ and their Most Excellent Pic2Exe slide show product?

There is no way to do this.

So why can't You add such function?
Or configurable keys, or scripting, tab pinning, child windows etc.

Media Center supports scripting.

You can talk to it with the command line, Windows messages, or with a custom plugin you write.

But this is about controlling MC from external application. What I mean is quite opposite - controlling other application from MC using events occurring in MC. For example bind script to start playback of audio file.

Look for ppslauncher on Media Monkey forum
