To my surprise, the lightning-fast response of proprietor Keetakawee Punpeng was a definite "Yes." Still, I was doubtful. Then, on the Web, I stumbled on the Nimitra computer-audio server from Fidelizer, a Thailand-based company whose eponymous software package aims to optimize Windows as a music-playback platform. The playback of multichannel, music-only recordings could be so much more popular if compatible HDMI output were as common as USB or Ethernet, and all were included in a reasonably priced package. Sure, servers based on PCs and Macs will output lossless, high-resolution multichannel via HDMI, and for years I've been running a Mac mini/Windows/JRiver Media Center server into my Marantz AV8802a A/V processor. However, I know of no turnkey music servers that will output multichannel audio via HDMI. To handle such files, they would require you to add a music server with HDMI output. They may offer stereo-only streaming features through their USB or Ethernet inputs, but these inputs don't see your multichannel files.

The MCC commands table and defines below were auto-generated on from the latest MCCommands.h (19.0.138) file posted above. Use command numbers when calling from the command line, enum names from within software (e.g.PostMessage(hwndMC, WM_MC_COMMAND, MCC_PLAY_PAUSE, 0) ![]() HWND hwndMC = FindWindow(_T("MJFrame"), NULL) The calling syntax for posting a WM_MC_COMMAND -based message to the MC frame is demonstrated in the example below.Įxample: To post a command to toggle between play and pause usr/lib/jriver/MC /mc /MCC, Issuing a command from C++ It is available under the Accessories menu as Command Prompt in previous versions of Windows. Note: The MCC commands can be entered in Vista and Windows 7 directly into Search Files and Programs under the Windows Start menu, or as commands in a Windows command shell, which can be launched in Vista and Windows 7 by entering cmd.exe in Search Files and Programs under the Windows Start menu. Note: Command numbers must be used command names are not used on the command line.Įxample: To toggle between play and pause in MC16, use the command: Some MCC commands may be targeted a particular Zone - see Specifying Zones.Īssuming you are familiar with the first section of The Command Line, the general syntax for issuing an MCC command from the Windows command line (or equivalent) is: It has command number (enum value) 10000 and its accompanying parameter is ignored. For example, the command to toggle between play and pause is MCC_PLAY_PAUSE. Look up the command name / number and its parameter in the tables below. 1.1 Issuing a command from the command line.
