Script for exiting Media Portal when starting external Zoomplayer.

Bjur · 2008-11-23, 12:13

I almost have my MediaPortal, but would really like one more thing to get it working 100%. That is when choosing a media file Zoomplayer starts but Media Portal is still running in the background. What I would like to do is to get it to start zoomplayer and exit MediaPortal afterwards, so the media file I have started will start playing.
I have made a script, but when I choose that in external path the file won't start.
Who has a working solution?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi, Im sorry I cant help you. But you did leave me with a question and a curious feeling.

The question is: "What is the reason you are using zoomplayer and not any other build in solution?"

The main reason is subtitles. You can delay the subtitles on the fly in Zoomplayer. In addition Zoomplayer has a lot of advanced features, which is good.
If I set a parameter, the file won't start automatically, so I'm looking for a script that will run Zoomplayer and automatically play the choosen file in MediaPortal.
