Package Files

An MJP file is just a simple script file which is used to install plug-ins to Media Center (and Media Jukebox). There are two versions of package files, version 1 has package files resembling Windows INI files, and version 2 package files are based on XML.

Version 2 Package Files Needs to be documented

Version 1 package files look like Windows INI files with two sections: [Package] and [Action]. The [Package] section contains entries for Name, Action, Version, and URL. The [Action] section contains entries for files, and actions to be done on those files. For example:

File1=CoolFile.exe

File1Action1=RUN

The filename can be *.*. Multiple files are specified by using File1, File2 etc. Multiple actions are specified by numbering the actions: File1Action1, File1Action2 etc.

Actions:

• COPY_INSTALLDIR - copy files to installation directory
• COPY_PLUGINDIR - copy files to plug-ins directory
• COPY_HELPDIR - copy files to help directory
• COPY_VISUALIZATIONS - copy files to visualization scripts directory with plug-in name appended.
• COPY_TRACKINFOS - copy files to track infos directory with plug-in name appended.
• COPY_VISSTUDIO - copy files to Vis Studio directory
• COPY_SYSDIR - copy files to system directory
• COPY_WINDIR - copy files to windows directory
• REGISTER - registers specified COM or ActiveX file.
• RUN - executes specified file
• RUN DONTWAIT - executes specified file but does not wait until file file exits. Useful when running ReadMe files.
• REG_PLUGIN - register Media Jukebox or Winamp plug-in
