Under v19 Tools/options/startup I have Location set to "Audio" and Mode set to "Theater View"
When startup the screen that has "audio: and setup still appears and I have to select audio before it will proceed the Theater View

Any was to by the screen and having to select Audio. I have all other options turned off on that scree...only audio and exit show.

Thanks

I think the "Location" setting only applies to Standard View.  If you are using a remote control you can add a shortcut button to go to "Theater View: Audio".

So, just to be clear, you want it to open Theater View and then directly open the Audio top-level view?

I don't think the Location works for Theater View either, but I can make you a script that does it, I think.

Location definitely only works for Standard View.

It sounds as though you only want to have Audio showing in Theater View.  The simplest way to get the next level of Audio at startup is to un-nest them from Audio.  Go to Tools > Options > Theater View and select the items from audio which you want and click unnest.  Then select each and click Move up to get them to the top of the list.  Now these will show at the top level when you start in Theater View.

I am trying to have the system start-up and go straight to Theater (Tiled Album covers) with me NOT having to click the "Audio" button. The Audio button and exit buttons  on that screen is fine I just do not wish to have to select it. Thanks

Thanks for the ideas guys.

Code: [Select]

MC19.exe /MCC 22001,3

You can use the following script:

Download: MC-Launch_Theater-ToAudio.zip

MC-Launch_Theater-ToAudio.wsf

Code: [Select]

<package>
   <job id="vbs">
      <script language="VBScript">
         'Create our handy dandy Shell object
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

'Launch MC in Theater View Mode
WshShell.Run "mc19.exe /Mode Theater"

WScript.Sleep 500

'Switch to the Audio Section of Theater View
WshShell.Run "mc19.exe /MCC 22001,3"

'Make sure MC is on Top
WshShell.Run "mc19.exe /Start"
      </script>
   </job>
</package>
Then, set Windows to run this script on login.  The most reliable method for this is to make a Scheduled Task.

Note: This will only work if you have the default layout at the top level in MC's Theater View setup.  If you've moved the top-level views around (I have Video first in mine, for example), then it won't work.  You can change the views underneath the top level ones, of course.
