Hello,

Is there a way with MC17 to schedule or automate the "Export all playlists". Can the scheduler fonctionality be used for that task? If yes, this must be done with the task command line but was is the command to implement this task?

Thanks

here you find info on the commandline, http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/The_Command_Line
then use MCC command 20004,1

MC Core Command 20004:

Note: I've added anchor targets to the MC Core Command wiki so that we can paste a URL that directs users to a specific command.

Thank you, that was just what I needed 
Another quesion, is there a way to update the field 'Last export' date to be updated while exporting using the "Export all playlists" functionality?

Thanks.

[MrC]

I don't think so.  But you create add your own Last Exported user field as a Date field, and follow this procedure:

  - Export your playlists
  - Select all files (in the playlists) and tag the field with:

     =Now()

and this will set the current date/time to that field.  Update it again when you next export.

I need to make a refresh first to export the smartplaylists otherwise it's always the same playlist that is exported. Do you know how? Maybe with sending a keystroke like F5 with /Mcc 27000,? (MCC_KEYSTROKE   int nKeyCode) but I did not find the keystroke for F5 refresh windows function. Do you know it?

Thanks

[MrC]

As far as I know, there is no command to refresh a smartlist.  Some folks have tried sending an MCC command to edit the smartlist, and then a keycode to dismiss the dialog.  I don't recall if this worked reliably.

Add your +1 to the request list.
