Mamewah plus Tivo & quote marks
« on: November 14, 2005, 08:54:56 pm »
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, 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.
