Title: mcc/mcws command to jump to a specific view in the audio tree?
Post by: zeltak on January 06, 2024, 02:25:57 pm: hi all

I would think this is possible but cant find any reference to it in the documentation (https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands):

how does one via mcc/mcws, issue a command to jump to a specific view in the audio tree, ie `albums` or `artists`? (see image attached)

thx alot!

Post by: marko on January 10, 2024, 10:22:00 pm: There's ShowTreePath, that still works from the Windows "Run" tool. So you could probably craft something yourself using that?

MC31.exe /ShowTreePath "Audio\Albums"

Post by: zeltak on January 13, 2024, 07:19:21 pm: wow thats exactly what I was looking for..but im on a Mac :)

I tried it like this

Code: [Select]
/Applications/Media\ Center\ 31.app/Contents/MacOS/Launcher.app/Contents/MacOS/Launcher /ShowTreePath "Audio\Albums"
but that does not seem to do anything

am I correct to understand this is a windows only option?

also if not is it possible to feature request this for V32 :D

thx

Post by: MrBiff on January 14, 2024, 01:52:43 pm: The macOS version of the launcher is missing many of the options supported in the Windows version.

The /ShowTreePath command is one of them. I reported this five years ago:

Post by: zeltak on January 14, 2024, 05:26:54 pm: thx @meBiff

am I right and MCWS is missing that function?

I was just playing and it seems to work well.

Here's a sample I was using:
http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/UserInterface/Show?View=Audio\Genres\Acoustic

That example does work. But a subsequent call:

http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/UserInterface/Show?View=Audio

doesn't. It goes to Genres.

That's because a click on "Audio" just picks whatever child view you used last.

Yes, that I see.

But a Server error 500 Status: Failure Information is returned when the tree item is already selected. This means its impossible to distinguish a TRUE server error vs. Unchanged when making MCWS calls.

These are not server errors - they should return 4xx codes. If that can't happen, at least please always provide information as to what the error is.
