Trying to access my tivo to go content via mamewah. I can get a list to generate from my tivo movies (basically just wm player files.
I'm having a problem launching them through the following bat file that I got from screenshot archive at this link (http://www.screenshotarchive.com/mwhelp.htm#Launching%20Videos%20using%20Windows%20Media%20Player:), though;
@echo off
start mplayer2.exe /play /fullscreen /close "%1"
### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path C:\Recordings
rom_extension TiVo
dat_file
nms_file
catver_ini_file
list_generation_method rom_folder
### Execution Settings ###
emulator_executable C:\arcade\vidplayer\vidplayer.bat
commandline_format [rompath]\[name].[romext]
I've tried a number of different ways "[rompath]\ etc. The problem is, Tivo names the files stuff like
NYPD Blue "Johnny Got His Gold".TiVo
As you can see, there are quotes in the file name. How would I go about launching a file with quotes in the name through a bat file via Mamewah? Any ideas? I did get it to launch the bat file, but it gave me some grief about the file not existing and now it won't even attempt to launch... Just not thre on the syntax for this yet.

I would say you'd be OK with those settings...however since the file (rom) name itself has quotes in it, I am not sure how this would work. Try the above settings (launch a video) and then take a look at what is in the mamewah.log file - post back what Mamewah is actually doing.
