JRiver Media Center went from Media Center 25 to 26 and now "CAD:::" no longer works for Now Playing skins. Thanks.

This has been discussed a few times before. Take a look please to the following discussions, especially to the second one:Gregory2001 wrote: ↑March 17th, 2020, 12:43 am JRiver Media Center went from Media Center 25 to 26 and now "CAD:::" no longer works for Now Playing skins. Thanks.

I am aware of this but I don't know how to change the path from 25 to 26. Thanks.

Yes, something changed on the last upgrade but I still don't understand why it works for you and not here. Here on MC25, Soita (or any other skin) won't even open the player.
Well, that is likely just that you havn't changed the path to the application, which is different depending on the version.
"C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 25\Media Center 25.exe"

Re: Changing The Path To An Application
You can tell the NowPlaying measure where to find your media player, so the open command works, by setting the PlayerPath in the measure to the path to your player.Gregory2001 wrote: ↑March 17th, 2020, 2:23 pm Re: JRiver Media Center

I try very hard not to recommend software on forums, but you have been looking for answers for a loooong time.Gregory2001 wrote: ↑March 17th, 2020, 12:43 am JRiver Media Center went from Media Center 25 to 26 and now "CAD:::" no longer works for Now Playing skins. Thanks.
You could try installing CD Art Display 3.0 for Windows. According to some older post on the J River forum, it will work with older J River versions by setting the "Options", "Player", "Selected Player" to "Registered Player". It also has a skin editor that may help you design the style of interface you desire.

Re: Changing The Path To An Application
Just tried and found out that it does work for me. Installed JRiver Media Center 26.0.30 and tried the example code existing on the NowPlaying measure's help page. Works perfectly.Gregory2001 wrote: ↑March 17th, 2020, 12:43 am JRiver Media Center went from Media Center 25 to 26 and now "CAD:::" no longer works for Now Playing skins. Thanks.
The installation path of my JRiver Media Center is c:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 26\Media Center 26.exe. I tried to add the PlayerPath=c:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 26\Media Center 26.exe option (having the previously posted path into the PlayerPath option as you can see) option to the parent NowPlaying measure. I also added a [MeterOpen] meter to the code:
Code: Select all
[MeterOpen]
Meter=String
X=20R
Y=5
FontColor=FFFF00
Text=Open
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "MeasurePlayer" "OpenPlayer"]
My thought is that in your case the PlayerPath option is either not set correctly (but probably it is correct), or most probably, the option is not added to the parent measure. In such a case, the OpenPlayer might not work.
In order to can take a look, please post the code of your skin. Thanks.
