Title: Remote Control of Playlists
Post by: johnp on January 07, 2004, 12:30:41 am

I am trying to select MC playlists from within the Girder world.  I know I can call and load an external .m3u type playlist and get that to play, but I am wondering if I can call a playlist from within the "Playlists" section of Media Center.  I would prefer to not have to export the playlists, but I must be able to call them from an external remote control.

Any ideas would of course be appreciated.

Thanks,

Maybe I don't properly understand the question but it's simple to navigate to and select a playlist with a remote in Hairstyle mode just by using the arrow/enter keys.

Alternatively, if you want to assign a specific playlist to a remote control command you can use this mjextman command:

mjextman.exe /Play [filename] plays specified file. Filename parameter can point to a specific file or URL as well as to a location in Media Jukebox organization tree. Any item in the tree, except for CD & DVD and Handhelds can be accessed by replacing filename parameter with following command, TREEPATH=location of an item on the tree (e.g. TREEPATH=Playlists\Top Hits). To play items under the CD & DVD and Handhelds item use DEVICE=drive letter (e.g. DEVICE=G:)
