Title: How to make MC18 start playing form where it left on windows startup?
Post by: trcns on December 22, 2012, 11:01:56 am

In MC 17 every time I strated my computer the program started playing from where I shut it down I cannot make it happen in MC 18. I tried all the option but I guess I am missing some steps. Please Help

Also on startup can program to Audio / Info screen by itself?

Set Tools > Options > Startup Actions > Start playing current playlist
Clear Tools > Options > General > Clear Playing Now on exit

To expand the Audio portion in the tree on startup, set:

   Tools > Options > Startup Actions > Location: Audio

I don't understand what you mean by "Audio / Info" screen.  Can you clarify?

"Set Tools > Options > Startup Actions > Start playing current playlist" is already selected an "Clear Tools > Options > General > Clear Playing Now on exit" was already unchecked. But still stop in "Theater View" on "Audio / Gadgets / Playlist / Exit" Screen.

I don't understand what you mean by "Audio / Info" screen.  Can you clarify?

When I am playing music in Theater View I have screen with "Back - Playing Now - Info - List - DIsplay View". I wish when I reboot or trun my computer on. It could go to "Info" Screen by it self.

I don't think there is a way to directly go to a node in Theater View, but you can have MC start in Theater View, go to a top level item such as Audio, and then have it move a few levels such that it will arrive at your Info level.

You'll have to use a windows command shell (or batch script) to do it.  Would that be OK?

The basic idea is to run these commands:

mc18.exe /mode Theater
mc18.exe /mcc 22001,3
mc18.exe /mcc 22006,2

The first one starts MC in Theater view.  The second one gets you to Audio.  The third one moves forward 2 levels (I don't know if this will arrive at the correct location for you).  You will likely have to adjust the last command to move the correct number of levels (and perhaps add another command to move Down).

Hello,

can someone tell me how to start a special webradio stream with the startup command MCC_PLAY_FILE_BY_STRING (10044)?
The Link/file is one of my playlists. This is the Hyperlink: http://www.wdr.de:80/wdrlive/media/wdr2_bielefeld.m3u
