[QUOTE="CiXel, post: 177293, member: 45979"] Would it be possible to Use Girder here, or have MP launch a .bat file either with a Movie # variable for or each movie (ie 137.bat) It could be linked with the DVD# or Collection Number parameter imported from ANT. I achieve this with XLobby presently and a USBUirt to control my Pioneer F727's via IR. XLobby however also allows you to learn user defined commands and then send a sequence of IR events in a particular order which is then linked to a single event. This makes it easy to use various players like the Sony or the Pioneer where you just change the order of the commands. On my Pioneers for instance, I use a <STOP>,<STOP>,<STOP> to get it to a neutral state and then <DISC#> followed by <DVD Number Variable> which shoots the current disc number (ie 137) and then <PLAY> to get the show on the road. We currently can shoot a Channel change message via the USBUirt setup. It would seem that a similar thing could be accomplished here assuming there was some way to set up a series of keystrokes that could be played back to accompany that "channel change" message via IR. There are only 2 brands of Mega Changers, Pioneer and Sony. Each of the two has a particular sequence to launch a movie. We wouldn't even have to ge into RS-232 as in my experience the IR has been incredibly reliable. [/QUOTE]
