Title: mjextman - request
Post by: gkerber on April 28, 2003, 07:28:05 am

I have a button on my remote which calls a batch file containing these commands:

mjextman.exe /Start
sleep 4
mjextman.exe /Command Play

It starts MC and starts play.  The sleep is necessary to ensure that MC is started before the Play command is issued.  Without the sleep, the Play is issued before MC is fully started and it is not executed.

I'd like mjextman to take any number of commands like

mjextman /Start /Command Play

and executed them when the program is ready to take the next command.

Thanks for listening.

Some mjextman commands automatically start MC. (like passing in a filename)  Could one of those work?

Also, would Options -> Startup -> Start playing current playlist work?

Thanks.

I don't see how playing a filename would work, I'd want to play the current "Playing now" would could be anything that was set the last time.

Starting play on MC startup would work, as a work around, but would not give me the total control I"m really looking for.

If I could provide serial commands to mjextman, I'd add a /Start to all my toolbar mjextman buttons.  

Then I could hit "Play" and it would always play, no matter if MC was running or not.

mjextman /Start /Command Play

I love to automate things, making their operaton seemless.
