External Player - MPC-HC arguments

[BirdBare 9]

Hello,

I've setup MPC-HC as an external player. When I only pass {path} as an argument it works fine. When I add the /fullscreen and /start {ms} switches it no longer works. I get an error in MPC-HC where it says incorrect switches are defined. I've tried and tried to fix it without a solution. However, the interesting point is that if I copy the "bad" command string and paste it manually into a cmd prompt (no changes) it works fine. This must be something within emby theater forming the command string. Has anyone had this issue before and found a solution?

Hi, did you make sure to put each argument on separate lines like the help text indicates?

[BirdBare 9]

I did.

The arguments were as follows:

{path}

/fullscreen

/start {ms}

I also tried:

"{path}"

/fullscreen

/start {ms}

 

I also put each of the above onto a single line as well.

The {ms} needs to be on it's own line I believe.

Oh wow. I guess I didn't follow the help exactly. I'll try and report back.

That fixed it. Thanks Luke!
