Title: Way to select/play playlists using Girder
Post by: jeffl012 on July 23, 2004, 02:13:09 am

I'd like to be able to play specific playlists using Girder (so I can select/play a playlist with a button press on my remote.) Is this possible?

It certainly is.  You need to execute mjextman.exe with a parameter (or step or whatever it is in Girder) of /Play or /Append or /PlayReplace followed by a space and the tree location of your playlist or smartlist or view scheme.

e.g. mjextman.exe /Append Media Library\Audio\My View Scheme

Don't forget the TREEPATH modifier... I belive it is actually:
mjextman.exe /command TREEPATH="Media Library\Audio\My View Scheme"

See the developer zone document about command line options for the hoary details.

Best,
Brad

Oops.  Thanks Brad.  Just one point - I don't think the quotes are necessary around the treepath.
