Title: Import files to database by MJAutomation object
Post by: Chris on June 19, 2002, 04:15:17 am
Hi,
I just took a look of your Automation SDK. Is there also a way to import files to database by MJAutomation object? Or - if not - can I access the DB directly? How?

Sorry, but there isn't currently a way to import.  What are you trying to do... maybe we can figure out a solution.

Thanks.

Hi Matt,
in a private project (non-commercial) we are developing a sound&video server which can be controlled by an infrared remote. As we would like to use only one consistent Grafical User Interface for all functions of the server, we found, that there are three general ways to this. First: developing all functions from the scratch. Second: Use already developed DLLs or OCXs and there functions. And Third: control an existing application remotely (e.g. by Girder). As the  features of MJ and the way they are implemented, fit really perfectly to our idea of a Music Library, we've thought about not to develop this part on our own, but to use the second solution. And we need to import media files to the library.

So, do you an idea for us?

Sure.  You can do it via the command line. (that's how Download Manager works)

Just send MJExtMan.exe the files (one by one) with the /Import command in the command line.

I can give you more details tomorrow when I'm in front of the source code for this.

Thanks.

Fine, do you have a documentation? I've tried mjextman /?, but I got no hints.

Thanks
