Changing library
« on: October 03, 2012, 09:53:49 am »

Is there any way to load a different library from inside Theaterview?

I have 2 libraries on my network:
 - kinda cleaned up/finalised stuff on the HTPC
 - work-in-progress/raw imports on the office PC

I'd like to be able to look at either on the big screen without getting out the mouse and keyboard!

Yes, using either the command line via the /Library switch, or the 20025 MCC command.  The commands for your switching to the main library and your second library are, respectively:

  mc17.exe /Library "Main Library"
  mc17.exe /Library "TEST LIBRARY"

or via MCC command:

   mc17.exe /mcc 20025,0
   mc17.exe /mcc 20025,1

Add a new menu entry to Theater View, which calls the external program, as shown in the attached screenshots.  Do this appropriately for each library.
