MPC as External player help

[daedalus 434]

{path}

/start

/fullscreen

/play

/close

 

/start needs a number of ms as addition parameter and that must be in a separate line ( {ms} )

but basically that is useless, cause it only supports resuming something that got played by something else, cause there is still no playback tracking for external players

 

still don't get why this must be so complicated here and the commadline still has to be a list of commands

@@Luke the explanation text still does not state that each space separated part must be in its own line: 'Place each argument on a separate line'

 

but anyway it works here normally (mpc-hc and be) if correctly setup

 

even your setup works, it just ignores /fullscreen cause mpc thinks its the parameter for /start

Hi,

 

Could you let me know exactly what the list of commands that your are using that works? I have tried many different variants with no success, so would like to try a set that is confirmed to work.

 

Thanks, Richard

if you want that start included:

{path}
/start
{ms}
/fullscreen
/play
/close

Thanks for the assist, but this still does not work, on either of my PCs. One PC is the Emby host, and the other is on the same local network. 

 

MPC-HC is working correctly on both PCs, but I had this error before I did a rebuild, and it is still with me.

 

The Player path is "C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe"

 

Commandline arguments are

 

{path}

/start

{ms}

/fullscreen

/play

/close

The Player path is "C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe"

 

tried without the " ?

 

^ tried myself this is your problem solving answer   emby in general doesn't like quote enclosed paths

 

maybe this could also be interesting for @@lightsout

Thanks. I now feel extremely foolish!

 

This works, including the HDR passthrough with MadVR.

 

Thanks again.

no need to feel foolish over quirky implementations of simple things
