Title: Script to restart jriver
Post by: suppersready on June 27, 2012, 02:10:42 pm

so sometimes jriver freezes in theaterview. For instance, i just backed out of the bluray troy, and it froze on the movie select screen. It would be great if i could program a script to hard kill jriver and run it again. I'd then bind that to a remote button.

That sounds like this problem:

If so, please post details there.

don't think so. i only have 1 hard drive and 6 movies so far. It has only froze after playing around (going into movie backing out over and over)... once frozen it stay frozen.

Not too concerning, and something that could be fixed with a simple button that executes a restart script.

If it happens again, hit F11 on your keyboard a few times or the green button on your remote.

you could download nircmd.exe and run these from a remote or quick keys.

[Path to nircmd]\nircmd.exe killprocess "Media Center 17.exe"
[Path to nircmd]\nircmd.exe exec max "C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 17\Media Center 17.exe"

The remote config in MC has a wait state so you may be able to bind both to a single button, not sure as I have not used the wait function.
