run XL command after Zoom close

[scottw]

How can I run a command in XL after zoom player closes. I have zoom automatically close after the movie is over. I need to be able run a command after zoom closes. I have the resolution of my TV change to is native of 1024x768 while watching a movie and upon stopping the movie, with the remote, and then back to 1366x768 (the skin Res.). I would like it to do this automatically if zoom closes by itself.

Any ideas???

It sounds like you need to capture the IR command, then set up Xlobby to transmit via UIRT this command. The Xlobby command can then be setup under Setup/File Types, under the Zoomplayer's Exit event. Should work.

Thanks Marbles but I think you misunderstood. I can do this from the remote/IR. I wanted to be able to have XL run a command once Zoom Player closes. Zoom will close once the movie is over automatically.
I got it working by running the movie with a batch file and using the Start /W command which will wait till the Zoom window is closed then run the next command, Xsend in this case.
Here is what I did in case it helps someone else.
My XL event to launch the movie is:

Code: Select all

-Execute File
---File: c:\playmovie.bat
---Arguments: "%movies>parameter%"
---Working Dir: c:\


Created a bat file: c:\playmovie.bat
Bat file looks like this:

Code: Select all

start /w C:\progra~1\Zoompl~1\zplayer.exe %1 /f /q /play
xsend.exe "xlobby:goto screen:movies" 8000 127.0.0.1

This is just a test that will launch the movie and once zoom is closed it will goto my Movies page.

Hope this helps someone else.

Why not use End Event in F2 under file types.

Why not use End Event in F2 under file types.

Yeah, that's what I attempted to explain...DOH! "End Event"...that's what it is called. Use that to fire off an IR command to change the res to what you want.

Never thought of that...will try it out...thanks.
