Hello everyone,
I just switched from 9.0 to 9.1 to see how it goes. (Didn't have time for all testing cycle this time)

One thing that doesn't work for me anymore:
I can't directly access and play a playlist  through girder anymore. THis is key for me since I like to switch playlists from my remote.

They way I programmed the macro in Girder:
1) Select play list (Ctrl + 4) -> this used to select AND expand the playlist folder
2) type a number or letter -> This would select a certain playlist
3) Hit Enter -> This would play my playlist (in 9.0)

Now this steps start playing all my songs and starts  the slide show ... arrghhh



The problem is that the command ctrl+4 only selects the playlist but it doesn't expand it anymore. I could not find anyway of expanding the playlist with a keyboard command.

What is the work around for the problem? Without that workaround I can't switch to 9.1 since it broke backwards compatibility.

Or is there maybe a way to directly play a certain playlist (by name or playlist ID)? This would be the real solution!

Thanks
Dom

Hmmm....

<CTRL4> and a right arrow should work to expand the playlist. (I admit I haven't tried this in 9.1, but it works in 9.0).

Come to think of it, maybe you need to find the checkbox in the "Options..." dialog and check "Auto-expand the tree".

You can also directly play a play list from Girder. Send an "Execute" command to the mjextman.exe program. In Girder's "Step Size" box, type in the command line switch "/Play TREEPATH=Playlists\your path to the playlist here".

Post back if you have further questions.

Best,
Brad

Brad, you are the man.
Both approaches work, but the treepath ... is what I was really looking for. There I can access and play the playlist with one command instead of six commands!

Thanks
Dom
