Title: MC and scripts
Post by: BradC on February 02, 2013, 02:55:11 am

HI

Is there any way to get MC to run a script (or external program) internally on startup and closure?

I wish to set the RME mixer to a specific preset for MC. I can do this via MIDI.

I could do what I want via powershell, but it would be neater if MC could run the external command itself.

You could start MC with a batch file that does some stuff before launching the program.

ok thanks

I know how to do what I want with a powershell script that can also change the mixer back when MC exits. It's just a bit of a pain, as I have to redirect shortcuts etc to make it robust.

It would've been neater if MC could've run scripts.

Ideally it would run a script (in my case a MIDI command) at each switch to a zone.

The origin of my problem is that to use internal volume and convolution filters, I need to turn the mixer volume up almost to max. This is a problem for using apps outside of MC (eg games), so I need to turn the mixer volume back down to sane levels.

Is there an alternative approach?
