Title: MCC Silent Export of Playlists
Post by: refs.unperson on July 20, 2018, 07:45:06 pm

Hello

I've been using MediaCenter since v18 to export all my playlists so they can be used by other devices on my network.
I use the MCC command via the MCWS api to initiate the export which, since I upgraded to v22, is no longer silent and fires off numerous message boxes requiring interaction before the export starts

http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Control/MCC?Command=20004&1

Can someone please confirm for me that this is still a defect on v24 for Mac? It appears to have been fixed in v23 for Windows...

If it was fixed in Windows, it's probably fixed in OSX.  You could install the trial version to see.

I saw the release note and upgraded immediately (it was the primary reason I upgraded). Tested it and still observed the same behaviour, hence my post asking for confirmation that the fix didnt reach the Mac build. Cant rule out that Im doing something wrong though...

Any thoughts on this? Would be great to get this fixed, its been a problem for the past 3 years and seems like the fix is already known and just needs to be applied in the right place.

I believe your URL is incorrect.  I tried your URL as listed and indeed it gave me a pop up dialog box, which I canceled.

After I consulted the MCWS built in documentation for the MCC command I changed your URL to this:

http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Control/MCC?Command=20004&parameter=1

This worked correctly and did not prompt me.  I now have several dozen .M3U files in ~/Library/Application Support/JRiver/Media Center 24/Library/Playlists/

Each named for my various playlists.

Try this URL and see if it works for you as it did for me.  Good luck!

Brian.
