Title: Alarm Clock Plug-in
Post by: ender13 on February 16, 2004, 02:57:27 am

Any chance there is (or anyone have in a plan) to create an alarm plug in for media center?  I like the sleeper plug in but if only i could get it to work the other way around...

WHOA WHOA WHOA ... Media Scheduler can be used to start MC and play whatever list you want ...

No need for anything extra .. been using it for quite a while .. it opens MC at 7AM and starts a playlist of 100 Random songs for me :)

I have two tasks setup in the Media Scheduler ...

---- 7:00AM ----
One to wake up MC and set volume to max :)
/Command VolumeSet 100

---- 7:01AM ----
One to play a playlist I have called RANDOM
/Play TREEPATH=Playlists\RANDOM

My random playlist is a 6 hour playlist of RANDOM audio files, that I have never heard before, with no dupes ... that are not in my DO NOT PLAY list (ie kids songs) ...
~sort=[Random] ~nodup=[Artist],[Name] [Number Plays]==0 [Media Type]=[Audio] ~t=360 -playlistid==DONOTPLAY

im still having problems getting this to work. i can get mc to open up at a set time, but the play command isnt working. ive been using:

/Play TREEPATH=Playlists\WakeUp

and i have a smartlist called WakeUp

but i must be missing something as it isnt starting up each time

any suggestions??

Found the problem.
Media Scheduler is pointing to the wrong place to find "mjtextman.exe". It is "C:\windows\system\" not "C:\program files\ j river\media center\" . You can either change the reference or bring a copy of the file into the media center folder so the command references will find it.

Any chance that a version for MC10 will be avilabls in the future? i know it can be done through media scheduler but seems much simpler with this great looking plugin

The latest version here as well...  

Try this:
Go to Tools > Plugin Manager.
Expand the Interface Tree
Click on Alarm Clock and then click Start.

It should then show up in the tree view.

That is odd.  I recently reinstalled Windows so I was starting with a clean install of MC and it installed fine.  I have no idea what the problem could be. =/

The only other thing I can think of is it stop all of your other plugins, then install it, then restart everything?  Just guessing now.
