Title: Control/CommandLine with file names and tree paths
Post by: MrBiff on December 21, 2018, 12:20:46 pm

Do the MCWS Control/CommandLine functions that take file name or tree paths work on  macOS ?

Examples that do not seem to work:

Code: [Select]

http://192.168.0.10:52199/MCWS/v1/Control/CommandLine?Arguments=%2FAppend%20%2FUsers%2Fedm%2FMusic%2F01.mp3 ==> 200 OK
http://192.168.0.10:52199/MCWS/v1/Control/CommandLine?Arguments=%2FAppend%20TREEPATH%3DPlaylists%5CHoliday ==> 200 OK

If not, is there another method to add items in a tree path to Now Playing, like the second example?

Oof - this doesn't even work on Windows:

mc24.exe  /ShowTreePath  "TREEPATH=Audio"

That's because the syntax does not have "TREEPATH=" in it.

For example, this works:
MC24.exe /ShowTreePath "Audio"

I see.  My mistake on the Windows example.

How about example 2 in the MCWS commands above?

This works on Windows, but not macOS.

Code: [Select]

... /MCWS/v1/Control/CommandLine?Arguments=%2FShowTreePath%20Playlists\Testing1

It seems like you are trying to shoehorn in command line type commands into MCWS for functions that it already does natively.  For example, PlayPlayList is a native MCWS command.

Maybe you have a use case I'm not familiar with?

No, because TREEPATH can be any part of the tree, like:

Code: [Select]

/MCWS/v1/Control/CommandLine?Arguments=%2FShowTreePath%20TREEPATH=Audio

so this does not work:

Code: [Select]

MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayPlaylist?PlaylistType=Path&Playlist=Audio
