Playing playlists
« Reply #15 on: April 04, 2004, 04:15:39 am »
My problem is after it finds and goes to the playlist. Actually any playlist I type in that I have created and put in the WMP MyPlaylists directory. It will go there, except that then, I get the error message:
"Windows Media Player cannot find the specified file. Be sure the path is typed correctly. If it is, the file does not exist at the specified location, or the computer where the file is stored is offline."

I ran the path from the command line in Windows and got the same message. The ".wpl" files seem to only work when you activate them with a double click outside WMP and of course just activating them within WMP. That makes sense, but in this case, I imagine I am missing something really simple to get this to work from this new script.
Oh well, maybe someone can set me  on the path to glory [:D]
I am looking forward to using this cool feature!

Oh, Hal Improver thanks for the heads up. This is a great script!
I just read your reply. I will give your suggestions a try. Thanks for the new script as well!!

Does Hal say "Here is your playlist (Some Playlist Name) enjoy!"? If so, what is Hal saying in place of (Some Playlist Name)?

HalImprover,
Yes, HAL does say "here is your playlist" (after I type in "play playlist XYZPlaylist" and then WMP starts but then the problem begins.
Only then with that syntax does it even get me that far. Is that the correct syntax I should be using?

Please try this:

 Cut and paste the following phrase into Hal and hit enter:

Play playlist ponn playlist

 Then cut and paste Hal's response into your next post. Hopefully this will point me to the problem.
