Title: MCC_EXPORT_ALL_PLAYLISTS - how to choose format?
Post by: DoubtingThomas on March 05, 2012, 06:02:39 pm

If I select File->Export All Playlists.... it exports in m3u format.

// 20004   MCC_EXPORT_ALL_PLAYLISTS
If I execute MC17.exe /MCC 20004  ... it exports in m3u format.


Is there anyway to output to other formats using MC17.exe ?

The m3u format doesn't contain any play stats for each track.

I have some pgms written to parse the .csv format to calc total played time of MediaCenter, but I have to manually export the playlist to be able to select the output format, with play stats.

You can select the format using File > Export Playlist...

The format used for Export All Playlists is not configurable.

Hi Matt,

20003   MCC_EXPORT_PLAYLIST   int nPlaylistID (-1 for active view)

How do we know what the nPlaylistID for a particular playlist is?

Using trial and error I found that

MC17.exe /mcc 20003,-5 is the one I want.

But... when I execute this command it brings up the dialog to save the playlist, how can I get it to just export the playlist without human intervention?

CORRECTION: -5 isn't it, in fact I don't know how to find out which is the nPlaylistID.
