Setting autoplay off by default
« on: April 18, 2016, 11:07:20 am »

Hi everyone

I'm trying to configure and test jriver media center, and I am not seem to be able to set autoplay to "Stop after each item". Is it possible to have that checked by default on startup.


Thanks

So you want MC to only play one song and then stop?  I'm curious why you want to do that... it's rather unusual.

I don't know a way of enabling that option at startup... the one you get when you right click the Stop button and choose "Stop after current file".

However, there might be a way of getting you most of the way there.  You can configure MC to only add ONE song when you double click on it:

Tools > Options > General > Behavior > Double click > Replace Playing Now (single)

You probably also want to enable the option to start playback as soon as something is added:

Tools > Options > General > Behavior > Start playing when files added to playing now > (checked)

Maybe those options will be of some use to you.  Good luck.

Brian.

Thanks it works. The reason I want it that way is that I want to test if it could possible to use jriver to do pitches via the sales representative of the company I work for, so it will only be used for images and video.
I was also wondering it it was possible to make a video stop/pause when leaving full screen.

Thanks

You can also use the Media Center Command Line options and Media Center Core Commands to turn autoplay to off.

You would use "mc21.exe /MCC 10006, 4"

If you use Theater View instead of Standard View to start playback, then this will pause when leaving full screen:

Tools > Options > Theater View > Pause video playback when entering Theater View
