Second "Play movie" button without trailers

[r.byatt]

Hi,

I have xlobby set-up to play trailers and then the selected movie when I press the “Play” button which works fine and is exactly what I want on our family “movie nights”.

But what I would like to do is add another button that just plays the movie that is selected with Zoom Player for those times trailers aren’t appropriate.

Could someone point me in the right direction, I am guessing I would make a new event that calls Zoom Player I’m just not sure how to tell Zoom the selected movie to play?

Thanks for your time

Regards Robert

just create an event with

"execute category:movies" (or whatever your movies database is called).

and associate it with a button...

Hi D,

Thanks for the reply, but does what my current "Play Movie" button does.

What I want to do is bypass the start event all together and just pass the selected movie to zoom player.

Aha, then you could create
os>execute and specify zplayer.exe there with %parameter% as parameter

Zoom opens but it has nothing to play "DVD not found"

If I put in the movie location into arguments like "C:\movie\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO" it works OK.

But if I put in %parameter% or "%parameter%" it won't

I am triggering from a copy of the play movie button so it should know what movie is selected I think, I just pointed the button at the new event

Try %movies>parameter%
(if your movies category name is "movies")

or

%playlist%

Thanks D

"%movies>parameter%" works (It needed the inverted commas)

Thank you again for all your help
