Title: Pause MC on Pc's running from the Media Server
Post by: Marcel de Man on September 07, 2005, 06:39:32 pm

Hi,

I have the following question. I'm running MC11 on my main server and am using this as a library server. I have 3 PC's(different rooms) running using this server. Also this server is running Home automation software. If my home automation software makes an announcement, I would like to pause the music on all the PC's running MC11. So my question is can pause the clients from the server??

Thanks
Marcel

Browsing through the developers zone I found the mc11 /connect command to connect to the server. What I would would need is a simulair command to connect to a client and be able to pause it. In this case I could:

- Connect to the client, pause it.
- Connect to next client, pause it etc.
- If all clients are paused, execute my voice message.
- If message is announced, connect to each client again and start it.

If this connecting could be done using mc11 /options it would resolve my problem.

Anyone???

Or maybe another solution???

Thanks
Marcel
