Zoom Player -> DVD Chapters and MKV Chapters on same button?

Post by Dal »

Is it possible in EG to detect if ZP is in DVD Mode or not, and make EG act accordingly?

The problem is something like this:
When skipping chapters on a DVD, the macro called nexttrack is used. But when trying to use the same button on the remote, in other words the same macro, on a MKV file, it just skips to the next file. This is not desirable :)
This is of course because the macro used for MKV files is called nextchapter.

Is it possible somehow to have this on the same button?

Something like this then:

IF DVD Mode
then use nexttrack
ELSE
use nextchapter

I guess this would be useful for cycling external subtitles too.

Thank you.

The plugin sends events when switching mode or opening a file

So did you ever figure this out?

I am new to EG, and I guess if the plugin generates events when files are loaded, or mode is changed, I could store the mode in a global variable (if that is possible)... then write a script to perform the decision based on that variable?

Thanks!
