Is there a way to add the "what artist/song/album is this" command.

Can't seem to find anything similar to the getcurrentlyplaying command you used for XBMC

Man, that wiki for jriver helped me out a bunch.

Can someone help me with a drag feature for the showroom view under the theater view.

I played with a few of the mouse functions.

This works ok, but it doesnt work consistently.

The trick is the mouse button has to be held down and a slower motion need to be made with the mouse to the left or to the right.

What i have seems to be doing the motion to fast for Jriver to pick it up.

Any suggestions.

There is no way to do a slow absolute move, but I'm surprised that the speed should make any difference.

To do a slow move would require you to move relative many times.  I don't know if it would work any better.  Why are you actually trying to accomplish?

Why are you moving twice before releasing the mouse button?

In the showroom view, you can actually brwose through the albums with a flicking motion instead of scroll.

Holding the left mouse button down and quickly dragging the mouse left or right and releasing, flicks the albums left or right.

I'm trying to simulate a quick flick

mouse button down
then set initial pointer position far right of the screen
then set pointed to far left of the screen
button up
back to starting position

Beleive it or not this simulates a sweeping motion and it works but just not consistently.

Why?  The same reason you built this bad ass program, CAUSE IT'S FREAKIN COOL.

Hi rablack97, you can test it with this mouse commands  xml. Modified the scroll-left/right command with an click and hold.  http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=376.msg4007#msg4007

I think maybe you should

A) check if there is a keyboard equivalent that does the exact same thing.

or if not possible...

B) Modify your command actions to do something like the following:

- position your mouse first. (center of screen or whatever is required)
- put the left button down
- move relative either left or right, possibly more than once if it helps (use can set repeat on the far right of an action).
- lift the mouse button
- possibly continue moving the mouse in the same direction using move relative (only if necessary to fool JRiver)

What about this?

OK.  See the attached.  The Raw command gives you access to anything in the JRiver web api.  It helps if you can work with regular expressions to extract what you want.

I just tested this in showroom view and using multiple arrow keys does the exact same thing, but reliably and smoothly.  No need for the mouse.

"go right 10" works fine.

  Dude I hate you

that makes two of us

Ok, might as well ask you this too, so i dont waste my time writing commands that you just blow out of the water with simplicity.

XBMC and Jriver have similar commands, so on launching Jriver i added the vc.disablegroup command with "XBMC" as the parameter.

Problem is everytime is restart vox the disable command becomes null and void.  So i was wondering if theres a way to use the Focus command to disable XBMC commands whenever VOX recognizes/focuses  on Jriver.

Also, have you been able to locate a softmute/softunmute command for Jriver?

[jitterjames]

You can use events to turn groups on and off

If you want, you can set a group to be off by default (when VC starts)
- right click the group then enable / disable the group

You can also assign a group to a particular process in the group properties (instead of using events)
- right click the group and choose properties.
- where it says "Active only for process:" enter XBMC if you want the command to be active only when XBMC has focus
- if you want a group to be active only when XBMC does not have focus then enter !XBMC

the process name will be whatever shows up in Task manager (Ctrl-Shift-Esc) when the program is running.
