Problem getting a core command to work.
« on: April 09, 2012, 10:27:48 am »

Perhaps I'm not understanding how this works.

I have MC17 up and I have a video paused.  From a command line I run:

C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 17\"Media Center 17.exe" /MCC 10000, 0
which should issue a    MCC_PLAY_PAUSE

Nothing happens, other than the MC window is brought to the foreground.  What am I doing wrong?

Is video playing in a zone other than the default zone?

btw. you can also use the simpler:

   mc17.exe /Command Pause

No, just the default zone.  I'm trying to get core commands to work using a simple command.  My goal is to use the seek command, but that shouldn't be too difficult once I get the playpause to work.

Oh, I see the problem, you're using the wrong program .  Just type this:

   mc17.exe /MCC 10000

See: http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands#Issuing_a_command_from_the_command_line

btw. The parameter in that particular command is ignored, so no need to provide it.

Thanks MrC!

I didn't realize that MC17.exe was installed.  I just assumed that the wiki was out of date and the closest I found in the Program Files folder was Media Center 17.exe.
