Has anyone sucessfully got Media player  to work in Mamewah and produce a list of all videos in a certain folder ? If so could you share your configuration with me please ?

I've got a load of mpgs, avi's and m2vs which all play fine in mplayer, I'd just like to be able to generate a list in mamewah of them all and be able to select them from within the frontend.

Thanks for any help.

Bulla hi.

To generate and play your mp3 files you can do something like this:

### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path                                  D:\MUSIK\ROCK\METALLICA
rom_extension                             mp3
dat_file                                 
nms_file                                 
catver_ini_file                           
list_generation_method                    rom_folder

### Execution Settings ###
emulator_executable                       C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe
commandline_format                        /play /close D:\MUSIK\ROCK\METALLICA\[name].mp3

This will generate a list with all your mp3 files (in this case from Metallica) and play them thru media player.  However, there's a bug with the /close parameter, and wmp doesn't seem to close once the song finishes playing (I've googles and no solution to this bug); so you must exit wmp using alt-f4. 

Hope this helps.

Cheers, :cheers:

yes, what was provided should work fine to generate a list of the movies, just change the rom path to your movie path, and the extension to .avi/whatever. Also not sure if you are using Mplayer (not windows media player) or Windows Media Player, but I believe this uses escape to exit by default, you may just need to start it using '-fs'. May also try VLC.

You could also launch an external application such as Arcade Music Box from Mamewah.

I will play around with this tonight and add it to the wiki.

Many thanks for the replies, to clear up the mis-understanding I was referring to the older version of Microsoft Media Player as it exits with Esc, mplayer2.exe I think ?

Cheers for all the help

Space Fractal:
Arcade Music Box was made for using with mamewah in mind. The interface is much the same (miniwah actuelly linked to from his homepage).

Arcade Music Box support videos too (avi, mpg and wmv).

I did not actuelly heard about m2vs files (but works with avi and mpg now)?

m2v is not supported yet. As I find info, it not supported by Mediaplayer 7+, wich AMB use for video playback?). I cannot tried to support this format, because I do not have any files in this format.
