[QUOTE="recosta, post: 131497, member: 26116"] Hi there, As I used to set Autostart to start my music, I was a bit disapointed too because the Autostart plugin is not working anymore. Through my work as ICT engineer I'm a bit familiar with scripting. I'm NOT a programmer but I'm able to help myself ;-) So, I did some scripting with AutoIt ([url]http://www.autoitscript.com)[/url]. This is a rather simple and also FREE scripting tool. Here is some information of my script: The startscreen of MP does not have much information about button-id's (please guys, don't feel offended). So I figured out the X- and Y-coordinates of the music button, relative to the screen (in case I want to change the resolution). I started the music section in MP the manual way and closed MP. The next time MP starts it will have the last used menu-option at the middle (so I have a starting point for my script). As I said, I use MP just to listen my (organised) music. My own 'autostart script' is doing the same thing as the autostart plugin. My script is not sophisticated. Neighter it is checking al lot of things; it simply starts the music section on my pc......and it works and I'm happy :-) ---begin of script------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;Load Mediaportal and activate the music bar ;set screen coordinates relative to the window Opt ("MouseCoordMode", 0) ;load mediaportal executable run ("C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.exe") ;wait till the main window is loaded WinWaitActive ("MediaPortal - Home") ;hit the music bar MouseClick ("left", 750, 420) ---end of script-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now it comes: the script above can be compiled to an executable, all in the same interface of your editing tool. This executable is about 180kb and will be removed from memory as soon MP is loaded. Maybe it can help you or anybody else to create some 'autostarting' [/QUOTE]
