I could use some help getting XLobby to pass the movie pathway to PreMovie Manager (PMM).

thanks,

Hi Mac,

I have written a batch file to load the movie in PMM:

@echo off
premovie.exe "s:\films\dvd\killbill2\video_ts\video_ts.ifo"

Then put the name of the bat file into the parameter box in the movie db and all should be fine and dandy.

where can I get this batch file?

ahh, the joys of starting your computing days on MS-DOS rather than Windows.

You write it yourself.

+ goto the folder which has the film in it
+ right click on the folder in explorer and creat new text file
+ rename text file to "yourfilmname".bat
+ right click the file and choose edit
+ paste into it this code

@echo off
premovie.exe "C:\fims\killbill2\video_ts\video_ts.ifo"

+ close the file, save the changes, and there you go

A bit long winded, but it works!

Mac,

edgely has just given it to you. If you copy the 2 lines ...

@echo off
premovie.exe "s:\films\dvd\killbill2\video_ts\video_ts.ifo"

into notepad - make whatever changes are necessary and save it as....yourfilmname.bat

There's your batch file!

That's the 2nd time I've done that!

Must remind myself not to go out in a lightning storm!
