[ ChooseMediaPlayer v1.53 ]

You can send unlimited files and folders to your favorite player!

You can designate your player or you can choose a player by DialogBox or 'Auto Decision' function.

You can filter collected files by file extension.

I have no FTP account right now.. You can download this tool from my blog.

Upgrades: v1.53
1. You can choose a INI file. This is useful when you make 'Enqueue' button in Total Commander Buttonbar. See the 'Readme_Eng.html'.

2. Option 'AppendPosition' is renamed as 'AddPosition'. But 'AppendPosition' is still valid.

3. I'm struggling to make WMP append files to 'Now Playing' list by using COM automation.

Thanks for a new tool.

It seems to work correctly (I've tried it with Windows Media Player and Foobar).

There could be also an option what to do when creating a playlist (append to existing playlist, overwrite existing one, create a new one with different name or ask a user what to do).

To djk, I accepted your suggestion in TC2MP..

Now 'WritingMode' option in TC2MP.INI is available.

You can see a dialog box asking 'Overwrite/Append/Ask'

Thank you.

Thanks.
Now it's time to add multilanguage interface

BTW: Could you add version info to the file or at least put a version number to readme file?

@icfu: Thanks for your attention.

There is a difference between lst2str and TC2MP..

lst2str passes several files to other program in one command line. So the number of passing files is limited by command line limit.

Example: lst2str passes files like this,

Ultraedit.exe file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt ......

And there may be a limit in number of line characters. I haven't used it until now.

But TC2MP passes 1 playlist file and user's option. In other words, TC2MP passes multiple files by playlist.

And, you can set additional options. It is achived by 'CommandLine =' option in TC2MP.INI.

example: When you use Mplayer.exe
CommandLine = -playlist "$PLAYLIST_"

it passes this code line like this
"Mplayer.exe" -playlist "TC2MPlaylist.m3u"

I had already deleted my comment, because I recognized that your tool always transfers playlist with files. It's a different concept and not compatible, my check was too quick.

Sorry for the confusion.

And, you can set additional options. It is achived by 'CommandLine =' option in TC2MP.INI.

Yep, anyway, maybe you can include an option to add parameter AFTER the playlist in case some players need them. Just to make sure that your app covers it all.

P.S.: Because it caused some confusion, this is the posting that I have removed:

@TC2MP:
Your tool could be used as a replacement for lst2str, if you would enhance it with an option to insert parameter BEFORE the filelist.

Example for BareGrep:
baregrep.exe keyword file1 file2

Maybe you should also think about a rename of the tool, players are only one example of how it could be used.

@Icfu:

I'm sorry.. How can I delete my reply?..

Anyway your suggestion and attention is good for me.

icfu · Post by *icfu » 2006-08-10, 11:01 UTC

You can only delete your last posting if noone else has replied, in this case you can see an X beneath the edit button. We would have to remove all our postings one by one now.

I have added the missing posting again as a quote above, I think that's ok to make things clear again.

@djk:

Thank you for your multi-language idea.

But I have no plan for applying for multi-language at this moment, because this tool has few words in it and it is complex for me.. Actually it is not a big challenge but my head is going away..

But I want to include several translated 'Readme.txt' files.. If you are willing to make your country's readme.txt, I would be happy.

@TC2MP:
Option "Append" in [Choose] mode doesn't append files but it puts selected files on top of the existing playlist, tested with Winamp 2.x and CMP 1.5.

Hi, Icfu

You can see a solution from my blog.

Thanks, I know the /ADD switch, the question with append option is from here:
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=95956#95956

So, the question remains:
Why don't you write the new filenames to the end of "TC2MPlaylist.m3u" but on top? This is not "append".

By the way:
WMP uses wmpshell.dll for adding to playlist. Command line parameter euivalent of /ADD doesn't seem to exist:

Okay. You want to append files to the end of the playlist. Is it right?

And actually I made the function several days ago..

I added 'AppendPosition' option to the CMP.

0 : Append files to the end of playlist
1 : Append files at the front of playlist

You can download it from the original blog. CMP 1.51
