[MUSIC] Cannot run in Command Mode

[hindibuff]

For my life, I cannot figure out why Music Jukebox would not run in command line mode. All that happens is the main GUI opens up.

The debug does not show anything. I have tried the -DEBUG switch as well, and that does not even start debug. Totally lost as to what is going on.

This is on version 7. Given below are some snaps of what the config is.

MJRUN.cmd
MusicJukebox.exe –GO -DEBUG

First, let's start simple. Open a command prompt window and change to the C:\Program Files\Music Jukebox Release 7\ folder. Then type MusicJukebox.exe -GO. You should now see your hard drive light blinking constantly and if you open the Task Manager, you should see MusicJukebox.exe is the most CPU intensive application running.

Next (once Music Jukebox is complete, disappears from the Task Manager, type MJRUN.cmd. Again, Music Jukebox should appear in the Task Manager. Be sure you are starting Music Jukebox by the cmd file, not by the icon. Let me know...

Wandidj, Thanks for the help.

Followed instructons for the command prompt. I do see MusicJukebox in the Task Manager but only for a second or two, after which, it vanishes. ( as was recorded in the debug log).

FYI: I am running XP with .net 3.5

But it runs fine in normal mode? Is drive Z: always mapped to your PCH?

If by normal, you mean through the GUI, then yes, it runs and updates the library just fine.

Z is always mapped, yes. I can change that and try using as a network drive to see if that makes any difference. I am also trying to uninstall any offending software that might be interfering with it. Will report more in 8 hours.

ok,
figured it out. Somehow, the MJRUN.cmd had a illegal character before the GO and that was throwing it off. I removed that and retyped it in. Now all seems to work from the command line.

Thanks so much for the help in trouble shooting this. Now I am back cooking on gas
