Title: Can you specify command line parameters yet?
Post by: Robert Joe on March 08, 2014, 12:00:04 pm

I tried these and it seems to ignore them:

/usr/bin/mediacenter19 -library Music
/usr/bin/mediacenter19 --library Music
/usr/bin/mediacenter19 /library Music
/usr/bin/mediacenter19 library=Music

Interesting.
I'd think that would work since you can do the following:

mediacenter19 /mediaserver
and
mediacenter19 somesong.mp3
for example.

Will have to check that.

/library is not an existing command line parameter.

Do you mean in the Linux version only?   Because:

Quote

12.0.384 (12/04/07)

13. NEW: /Library command line switch changes the library.

I think you're going to have to change your command line switch character to a dash (or double dash) for Linux and Mac.

Sorry my bad, I thought stuff other than /MediaServer wasn't hooked up in linux but it is.

I just tried this:
mediacenter19 /Library home
and it worked fine.

Is there a list of command lines available for Linux.  Interested in finding out how to run mc in debug mode or change the logging level to address some issues I am running into with windows share.

These haven't been tested on linux. YMMV.
