Adding a File to Zoomplayer Playlist

[jji666]

It seems the question has been asked before but I cannot find an answer. After much tinkering I have been unable to load a video file into the Zoomplayer playlist. Basically, what I want to do is click on a category item, have it launch an overlay, and then have one button for "play this file now" and a second button for "add this to the zoomplayer queue" so that it plays in the order added. The "play now" works out of the box -- that is just execute category item. But I cannot figure out how to add an event that I can assign to a button that will load the selected category item into the zoomplayer queue. This must be possible and have been done. Please help!

If ZP is already open then you should be able to use the ZP command line parameters to add the file to the playlist via an OS:Execute event:

"c:\program files\zplayer\zplayer.exe" "/queue:e:\my video files\"

"/queue:e:\my video files\" would become "/queue:%movies>parameter%" or whatever db\variable you need to pass. If ZP is not open I think you have use /add.

good luck,

Thankyou! I will try that. I am not good at syntax for variables so this really helps.

Works like a charm! Now my buddies and I can all sit around with separate touchscreen interfaces and launch videos into one zoom playlist and watch them in the order queued. Thanks!
