Movie Category Execute (event) which launches/plays th movie

[Chazotta]

It seems that in all skins, the event which is assigned to the "play movie" button is the Category (movie) Execute event. How exactly does this event work ?

What I don't like about it is that when you launch a movie, it resets the size and position of the Zoom Player Window when you EXIT from Fullscreen mode. I don't mind the fact that it goes to Fullscreen mode automatically, but I cannot handle the fact that when you exit from Fullscreen it reverts to the same small window size and position. Thus if you have Zoom set up with a specific Window size and position for non-fullscreen viewing, you have to reset everything after launching a movie.

It does this even if you select "Remember Window State on Exit" in options. The Category (movie) Execute event obviously resets whatever Window size and position you previously set. Does anybody know how this can be avoided, or does anybody know how this event can be manipulated ?

Category - movie will just try to match the file type up with the command you specified for it on your file types tab in the setup menu. You'll want to make sure you add all the arguments necessary for ZP to open up the way you want it to. The list of arguments can be found here:

Ok so if instead of using the Category movie event, what is the argument for using the OS event zplayer.exe, for simply launching the highlighted/selected movie from the Xlobby database (without any other options such as fullscreen etc) ?

remove the /f from the zplayer.exe command line switches in Setup/File Types

if that doesn't achieve what you want try adding these -

/VX:[n] - Set Video Window X-Offset (in zoom mode)
/VY:[n] - Set Video Window Y-Offset (in zoom mode)
/VW:[n] - Set Video Window Width (in zoom mode)
/VH:[n] - Set Video Window Height (in zoom mode)
