I create PowerPoint presentations that include links to JRiver Media Center via batch files for playing audio and video files. That gives me more playback control than is available when playing media from within PowerPoint itself. My batch files for playing audio tracks are typically constructed as follows and work fine.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
MC30.exe /Mode Mini
MC30.exe /Clear
MC30.exe /Play "C:\Music\Handel\Chaconne.FLAC"

However, I occasionally wish to play just the audio track from video recordings whose video track contains nothing more than a static image of the CD cover art.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
MC30.exe /Mode Mini
MC30.exe /Clear
MC30.exe /Play "C:\Music\Random Composer\Fantasy.MP4"

In this case, MC immediately switches from /Mode Mini to /Mode Display. I could obviously fix this by extracting the audio track from the video file, but is there a simpler way to stop this happening using MC options or commands?

Thanks Matt. That resolves my problem
