Command line to retrieve status
« on: February 23, 2014, 07:43:23 pm »

Hello,

Is it possible to issue a command line to get the current status of JRiver (i.e, Playing/Paused etc.)

Thanks

Here's one way:

$ wget --quiet -O - --user xxx --password yyy "http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/Info?Zone=-1"  | grep '"Status"'
<Item Name="Status">Playing</Item>

$ mc19.exe /Pause

$ wget --quiet -O - --user cappella --password gomerpyle "http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/Info?Zone=-1"  | grep '"Status"'
<Item Name="Status">Paused</Item>

There is also the ability to use the mc19.exe launcher with an MCWS command, but I don't get any output when I try:

$ mc19.exe "/MCWS/v1/Playback/Info?Zone=-1"

Thank you for your help.

But in order to issue the commands that you listed do I need to set JRiver as a Media Network Server? Because it is only used on one computer, so it is just used for playback of local files.

For the command line usage, no, it does not need to be enabled.  But I got no results.

For status via http, yes, it has to be enabled.  It is very light weight, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I use the MCWS calls too using wget... (or use curl).

It works great.  Some scripting knowledge is required.  I run them using unix korn shell scripts from Windows using cygwin.
