command line switches-zoom player

[nrj0122]

Everytime I select "play movie" in x lobby it is to goto zoom player and start movie-but doesn't. If anything, it will go back to a movie I played awhile ago in zoomplayer, not the current one I want to display.

What are the options for the command line switches, maybe I don't have the right command in their, right now, all it says is%playlist%, and I tried%file% with no luck. I have all the correct file types associated with ZP (ifo, video_ts, etc). I also have the start and end event configured-still no luck.

Should I re-install ZP or try TT? Try a different line switch?

thanks for any help

I think that you are not passing the right path to zoomplayer. In the setup(F2)>file-types make sure that you are sending the movie path & filename to zoom.

The commandline switch for auto-play is /PLAY, I believe.

Not sure if this is what you are asking for but this is what I got:

Within F2 tab in Xlobby under file tab

Path and Program line reads:

C:\Program files\ZoomPlayer\zplayer.exe (which is where ZP is Loaded on my computer)


Extension line reads:

ifo,iso,img,VIDEO_TS


Command line switches line reads:

/AP 2/PATH%file%


Category line reads: nothing, it is blank

Enabled box is checked


Offline Event = movies



The actual pathway to my movies on my HD is:

D:Media\Movies Folder\Movie Name\VIDEO_TS folder\and finally the actual VIDEO_TS file, which has a ZP icon next to it. Also within this folder is all the other movie files, ex. VTS 01_0, VTS 01_1, etc.

Yes, I think it is just a connection issue between xlobby and ZP, because if I open up zoom player by itself and 'right click', 'open file', find the movie I want and select 'VIDEO_TS' file, it will start playing no problem.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

/AP 2/PATH%file%

There are some errors in your command line switches. Try this instead:

%parameter%

This should pass the full path to zoom player. If it does not work try to put it in quotes

"%parameter%"

You can then try adding other zoomplayer commandline switches such as

/F for full-screen
/PLAY for auto-play
/DVD for forcing zp to start in DVD mode

etc.
