Jscript File Browser for Theater View
« on: April 15, 2009, 09:44:31 am »

I wrote web-page for usage as a filebrowser in theatre view. It is convenient for browse files in removable media or network shares without import to database.
Requirements: Internet explorer 8.
Tested on Windows XP x86, Windows 7 x86.
Before use change two registry values (or use .reg file in JSFileBrowser.rar):
Code: [Select]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0]
"1201"=dword:00000000 ; - disable activex alert for zone "My computer"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION]
"Media Center 13.exe"=dword:00001f40 ; - enable IE8 functionality for MC13
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION]
"Media Center 14.exe"=dword:00001f40 ; - enable IE8 functionality for MC14
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION]
"Media Center 15.exe"=dword:00001f40 ; - enable IE8 functionality for MC15

version 24/04/2011

For use: Extract archive in some folder.
In Tools->Options->Theater View Add new webpage. Url must be a folder where you extract + DriveListMC13.htm. For example C:\JSFileBrowser\DriveListMC13.htm (for MC14 C:\JSFileBrowser\DriveListMC14.htm, for MC15 C:\JSFileBrowser\DriveListMC15.htm)


Navigation by left, right, up, down, home, end, page up, page down, enter (browse folder/play file), backspace (back to main menu), esc (to standard view). Also it is possible to use the mouse. The context menu is called by pressing the button "Application key" or right-click. Context menu commands:
play - play file/folder,
play all - play all files in current folder,
add to end - add file/folder to end of "Playing Now",
import - import file/folder in MC database,
home - go to MC Theater View home,
computer - go to root of "My computer",
up - go to parent folder.

This webpage also can be used outside MC.

Thanks +1

I tried a few files and it seems to work 100% :)

I often queue a playlist from the contents of a folder with .jpg and .mov items. Would be great if we could have an option to queue a folder instead of only individual files.

In the current version by pressing a file with "mov" extension and some other will occur nothing. For addition of support of these files it is necessary to add one string like
Code: [Select]
case 'mov': in function ExecFile. The list of currently supported extensions of files can be looked in the same function.
For addition of several files or the whole folder in "playing now" I think to make the special menu. But meanwhile has not thought up, as though it was most convenient.
I apologise, if has written not clearly.

I moved to MC15 and added a menu in Theater View to browse files using FileBrowser plugin. It works as well in MC14 except for one issue. When I press Backspace, I used to go one level up in the Theater-view menu. Now, this doesn't work. So, no key works for getting out of the FileBrowser. I have to quit MC15 and restart it to be able to get anywhere in the Theaterview. I use Theaterview only on my HTPC where I need the functionality of this plugin. So, any insights on fixing this problem will be greatly improved.

Thanks,

Try left arrow instead of backspace.

Theater View has an alternate navigation setting.

Theater View has an alternate navigation setting.

Left arrow is used by the plugin itself to move between files in a folder. I will try out the alternate navigation setting tonight.

Could you please upgrade this for MC16 beta? I made some modifications to do this and it kinda works but not necessarily as well as you could make it work.

Thanks,
