Media Center Core Commands

Each command has a "what command" (i.e. MCC_PLAY_PAUSE) and also an optional parameter, which is explained by the comment following the command. If you don't use the parameter, set it to '0'.

Note: Some commands may only work with the latest version of Media Center.

Zones

To issue playback commands to a specific zone, mask these values with the parameter: Current Zone: 0 Zone 0: 16777216 (or 0x1000000 hex) Zone 1: 33554432 (or 0x2000000 hex) Zone 2: 50331648 (or 0x3000000 hex) Zone 3: 67108864 (or 0x4000000 hex) Zone 4: 83886080 (or 0x5000000 hex) Zone 5: 100663296 (or 0x6000000 hex) etc... (keep adding 16777216 (or 2^24)) (up to Zone 31)

for the geeks, this is the top 6 bits of the 32-bit parameter the lower 24 bits are used for the rest of the parameter (see the C++ macros below if you like) if bit 32 is set, we assume someone passed in a simple negative number, so discard the zone portion

for parameters >= 0: zone number + parameter for parameters < 0: zone number + (16777216 + parameter) example: parameter -1 to zone 3: 67108864 + (16777216 + -1) = 83886079

How to issue Media Core commands

a) Post a WM_MC_COMMAND based message to the MC frame

Example (C++ source code): HWND hwndMC = FindWindow(_T("MJFrame"), NULL); PostMessage(hwndMC, WM_MC_COMMAND, MCC_PLAY_PAUSE, 0);

b) Fire the same command through the launcher (i.e. 'MC11.exe') in the system directory

Example (command-line program): 'MC11.exe' /MCC 10000, 0

// the WM_APP based message (WM_APP = 32768, so WM_MC_COMMAND = 33768)
#define WM_MC_COMMAND (WM_APP + 1000)

// extended MC_COMMAND message that takes a structure with extra information (internal use only)
#define WM_MC_COMMAND_EX (WM_APP + 1001)

// return value for unhandled MCC commands
#define MCC_UNHANDLED 0

// flags for command enable, disable, and check
enum MCC_UPDATEUI_FLAGS
{
    MCC_UPDATEUI_ENABLE = 1,
    MCC_UPDATEUI_DISABLE = 2,
    MCC_UPDATEUI_PRESSED = 4,
};
