I thought I had a problem in my remote control setup since the transport commands didn't work. Today I got a chance to look a bit more at it, and it seems like the MCC commands ignore the zone modifier in my Girder commands. It goes to the active zone no matter what. This is an example command, for play/pause on zone 6:

c:\windows\system32\mc18.exe /MCC 10000, 117440512

But the command goes to the active zone no matter what the zone modifier is. It works the same way when I do it in a regular command line window, so it doesn't seem to be a Girder problem. Has the synthax changed more than I thought, or is it a bug?

Also, if possible, it would be very nice if I could use simple zone numbers instead of the integer value. It seems like it's possible when there's a value after the command (like volume settings), but not when it's a command without a value. Or is that me not understanding the wiki?

i think the syntax changed. first the space after the 10000, is disrupting the command.

and you can use the zone number now.. like MC18.exe /mcc 10000,3 works for me

Thanks, gab! The space it was. But unfortunately I can not get the ,3 (or in my test case ,6) working. I would love it to, though. Then I could simplify my commands a lot... Are you absolutely sure that syntax works for you?

[gappie]

yes, it works, but remember, zone numbering starts at 0. so maybe you need to use 5?

edit: sorry.. it works on all zones, all are paused. so it is not really working

[Mastiff]

Nope, it's not that. ,6 is actually the seventh zone in my house (of 12). I start at 0. And changing the active zone changes what zone it works on with ,6.

this is the right one  MC18.exe /mcc 10000,0:3

Wow, synchronized posting! Just like synchronized swimming, except for the bathing suit. Well, at least I do not have a bathing suit on. I have no idea what you're wearing... Strange, though. On my system it only works on the active zone no matter what. Could Matt, Jim or somebody else maybe explain this?

[Mastiff]

I don't believe it! Double synchronized posting! You must be wearing Speedos for this! We should enter the olympics with our double act... And you're right! Thanks! That made it work!

i too was playing with mcc's. a test bat under the my mouse all the time.

Well, I think I found something that doesn't work. Can you please test if you can use the Set Pause command, 10022? I can't get that to work.

Well, I think I found something that doesn't work. Can you please test if you can use the Set Pause command, 10022? I can't get that to work.

i think too, i just tested. MC18.exe /mcc 10022,0 does not pause, but does do play. and MC18.exe /mcc 10022,-1 does toggle play/pause.

MCC command 10022 takes a Boolean value, so I'd assume the following:

   0 (false) = No pause
   1 (true) = Pause,
  -1 = Toggle.

You're right, thanks! I'm no good with Booleans...
