Problem using MC13's COM interface
« on: June 04, 2009, 04:39:24 am »

There appears to be something up with MC and its COM interface that can be demonstrated simply with the following javascript;

Code: [Select]
var oMC = WScript.CreateObject("MediaJukebox Application");
WScript.DisconnectObject(oMC);
oMC = null;

This code will run over and over with no problems as long as MC was not running before running the javascript.

However, run MC first and then run the script. The script runs OK first time, but subsequent runs don't work (there is a timeout - you should eventually see an error dialog).

You need to see if the object is already running like so:

Code: [Select]
 
try
{
      // See if it is running already
      jrmc = GetObject("", "MediaJukebox Application");
}
catch(err)
{
// Try to start it
        try
        {
             jrmc = new ActiveXObject("MediaJukebox Application");
           
        }
catch( err){}
}

if( jrmc != null)
{
   // Do something...
}

Thanks for that! I was stuck on releasing the object and never thought to change the way I instantiate it.
