Title: v11.1.121: Problem with Zones & Playlists
Post by: dp on February 19, 2006, 12:24:43 pm

Like many here on the board, MC is the cornerstone of my home entertainment center. I have automated it via Girder for multiple zones, playlist selection from an RF remote control and many other cool features.

Everything was working fine until yesterday when I upgraded to 11.1.121. Now, whenever I execute a command such as the following (i.e. via either Girder or manually at a command prompt):

mc11.exe /PlayReplace "TREEPATH=Playlists\Jazz|Zone=0"

"All" songs in my library are added to "Now Playing" and MC ignores the specified zone and instead plays in the zone currently selected in the MC GUI.

If I leave the zone spec. out of the commandline and instead execute:

mc11.exe /PlayReplace "TREEPATH=Playlists\Jazz"

MC correctly plays my Jazz list in the currently selected zone.

Have the commandline spec's changed? I've checked:

and it still suggests the "|Zone=" syntax is valid.

Can anyone shed some light on this behavior?

Thanks,
