Title: Library Server: how to avoid it when re-starting MC?
Post by: AoXoMoXoA on March 30, 2009, 02:40:59 pm

When I use Library Server and forget to change back to my local library before closing MC, upon re-starting MC it takes forever to load due to the size of my library.

Is there someway to force MC to open back in the Local library when restarting? I could not find the proper switch to tag onto the end of my MC shortcut.

TIA

I suggested adding an option for the default startup library four years ago: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=26237.msg181882#msg181882

I am still waiting... :)


As a workaround, you could change the command line in your MC13 shortcut icons to

MC13.exe /Library Default   ... or to whatever library name you have.

A quote from the wiki: "mc12.exe /Library [library Name] Changes to the library specified by [library Name] (Media Center 12.0.384 and later)." (http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/The_Command_Line)

That should work, thanks
