SENDKEY command

Im trying to get media player classic to switch audio streams (Shift s) and to turn on/off Subtitles (Shift s) how do i format this with the SENDKEY command to get them to work?

I think the below are correct for Road Runner:

^ Control
# Windows Key
% Alt
+ Shift

So, to send a SHift S you would need:

"SENDKEY;+{s}"

I think you made a typo above however, you said that shift S is the same for switching audio streams as well as turning subtitles on and off

Thanks ill try that here in a min, Shift a is audio streams and Shift s is subtitles

No that did not work. im trying to modify the rewind and fast forward buttons on you skin to change the audio and turn subtitles on and off, it is Media player classic thats playing the video in the embedded player correct?

I had to use "activate" for it to work with mpc.....i'll see if i can dig up that code i used, for a sample.

this should work

subs on/off
"ACTIVATE;- media player classic||SENDKEY;{w}"

next audio
"ACTIVATE;- media player classic||SENDKEY;{a}"

prev audio
"ACTIVATE;- media player classic||SENDKEY;+{a}"

your hot keys may differ, hope this helps.

I read your last post a little closer, this won't work with RR's embedded video player.....you have to manually embed MPC for sendkeys to work. it will take some tweaking for it to embed clean...so the control bar, menu, etc doesn't show

EDIT: actually I don't remember if I manually embedded it or if putting in MPC's path in rrconfig and un-selecting built in player worked. If you can't figure it out let me know what you are trying to do and I can give it a go for you

Could not get that to work its with media player classic embedded in dfx3.0 skin if that helps

how are you embedding MPC? did you unselect built in player in config or did you change the "video" button code? can you right click on the video(inside of RR) to bring up mpc's menu.....if not then your using road runners video player (which is different than MPC) and sendkeys will not work.
