Media Center Core Commands

From wiki.jriver.com
Jump to navigation Jump to search

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'.

The full, C++ header (may be newer than the wiki) is available in the SDK (in the Shared directory as MCCommands.h): Download the SDK

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

How To Issue Media Core Commands

  • Post a WM_MC_COMMAND based message to the MC frame

C++ Example:

HWND hwndMC = FindWindow(_T("MJFrame"), NULL);
PostMessage(hwndMC, WM_MC_COMMAND, MCC_PLAY_PAUSE, 0);
  • Fire the same command through the launcher (i.e. 'MC12.exe') in the system directory
MC12.exe /MCC 10000, 0

Zones

To issue a Playback command to a specific zone, mask these values with the parameter:

Current: 0         (0x00000000 hex)
Zone 0:  16777216  (0x01000000 hex)
Zone 1:  33554432  (0x02000000 hex)
Zone 2:  50331648  (0x03000000 hex)
Zone 3:  67108864  (0x04000000 hex)
Zone 4:  83886080  (0x05000000 hex)
Zone 5:  100663296 (0x06000000 hex)
...
Zone 31: 520093696 (0x1F000000 hex)

For the geeks, the actual parameter is bits 0-23 and the Zone is bits 24-29 of the 32-bit parameter (see the C++ macros below if you like). If bit 32 is set, Media Center assumes you passed in a simple negative number, so the Zone portion is discarded.

Creating the final parameter value:

For parameters >= 0
 final parameter value = Zone mask + parameter

For parameters < 0
 final parameter value = Zone mask + (16777216 + parameter)

Example:

parameter -1 to Zone 3: 67108864 + (16777216 + -1) = 83886079
