Title: Timing playing playlist
Post by: Rudolf62 on May 27, 2004, 10:17:56 am

Hello,

I use MC 9.1.319 and I can't of there is an option to time playing several playlist. What I whill is by example from 9:00 AM to 20:00 PM play playlist 1 and from 20:00 PM tp 9:00 AM playlist 2. Is this posible with MC or not?

Thanks,
Rudolf

There's nothing inside MC to do this, but you can always use the Windows Scheduler (Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks).
For your example, set it to run
C:\WINNT\system32\mjextman.exe /Play "TREEPATH=Playlists\Playlist 1"
every day at 09:00 and
C:\WINNT\system32\mjextman.exe /Play "TREEPATH=Playlists\Playlist 2"
every day at 20:00

There's a list of command line parametres here

and some advanced control methods here

If you're talking about manipulating the Playing Now list, you can use
mjextman.exe /Clear
to clear it and
mjextman.exe /MCC 10005, 2
to reshuffle it

Do these commands work well with MJ 8.0400?

I have used them in the past with previous versions of MJ, but when I use them with MJ 8.0400 the play list get wiped every time.

For example, I use /command Pause, the MJ does stop, but the play list is gone, so if I say play (/command Play or pressing button) does not work, since there is nothing to play.

any suggestion?
