Theatertek and Xlobby

by **andyt** on Tue Nov 30, 2004 11:00 pm

Can somebody please tell me how to set Xlobby to play files from the hard drive using Theatertek.

I've searched everywhere and can't find the information to get this working.

Thanks

In order for Xlobby to control TT2.x, you need to do two things:

1. Update the file type command line switches per link above.

2. Update the Theatertek Events.

Edit the skin you are using.
Under Event Manger tab scroll down to theatertek event in Events box.
Click on each event, select sent message, then change the following.

Class Name: TTWndClass
Window Name: TheaterTek DVD

You will have to change each event, or at least the ones your skin uses.

Thanks very much for the advice.

Unfortunately I think someone is going to have to spell it out for me as I don't seem to be very bright when it comes to Xlobby.

I have updated the file type command line switches in file extensions and updated the Theatertek events but don't seem to be any further forward.

I want to be able to do two things.

1. Play a DVD in the drive by a simple press of the button. (This is easy because as soon as TT loads up it plays the DVD in the drive.

2. Play files from the hard drive. (Still can't do this.)

I'm soory but I couldn't work out where to put the second set of switches.
