I can control MC12 through the automation interface and have been able to find a specific smartlist and play the files, but the next time I call my function I get the same collection of files.  Tried removing them, etc. but it didn't help.  Does anyone know the trick to get a new set of files created?

dont know a direct way, but going through the back door, you could use a commandline from within your code to start playing a smart list using the playreplace with the right treepath for the smart list

Yeah, that's how I was doing it before.  When I updated to MC12 and Homeseer 2, I wanted to change the way I remotely run MC through browsers so I wrote some VB to catch events/update playing now image/control MC.  I can do it the commandline way but since I'm already playing with the object directly I figured I would try that way.  I assume 'playreplace' is using the same API calls but in the 'proper'  way.

Running 'MC12.exe /MCC 22007' before GetFiles() does it.

What kind of smartlist are you dealing with?  I always seem to get a new set of files with each call to GetFiles() (my example smartlist is 50 tracks from a particular genre).
