I'm trying to figure out a way to play a file followed by a Smartlist, at a scheduled time.
My try:
* Windows Scheduled task with the commandline:
mc18.exe /play "C:\Users\Administrator\Music\file.wav"|TREEPATH="Playlists\Smartlists\Morning"
For example, if file.wav were a chosen alarm sound and the Smartlist "Morning" was a Shuffle play of tracks had the Keyword "Morning", then you can imagine the use. ;)
I've also tried just quotes around the playitems as a whole.
I can get file.wav to play, but not followed by the Smartlist.
Is this a syntax mistake, or do playitems have to be either files, or a playlist, but not both ?

The command line system doesn't support a list of special items. So if you use TreePath=, you can't use anything else.
Possible solutions:
1) Issue two commands: play the first file, then /Append for the Smartlist.
2) Make the smartlist start with the file so a single Smartlist would be enough
3) Twist our arm to support lists of special things like TreePath=, Search=, etc. instead of only one

Is your second option saying that you can have two parts to a Smartlist - a file, followed by a shuffle play of a rule ?

Maybe. Or you could do it with sorting. Or you might be able to do it by nesting Smartlists (including several Smartlists from another).
However, I think #1 is probably easier.
