Autohotkey is a program that can be used to make hot keys etc. When used with command lines or MCC commands, there is one thing to remember.

Example:

To use the MCC_THEATER_VIEW command (23000) in Playing Now mode (in order to program a button that switches directly to Theater View's Playing Now) with the MC Command Line launcher in Autohotkey, you'd use:

run mc19.exe /mcc 22001`,2
