Shardik Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Sorry, a couple more basic things I can't seem to figure out. I'm trying to add a custom button that plays a specific file from My Music. I have the custom button set up. I have a media scene set to activate when that button is pressed that sets the volume in the area I want. However, I can't figure out how to tell it to play the file from My Music. The C4 YouTube videos don't seem to show this. Also, eventually I want this button to activate a playlist. However, when I right click on the playlist name in Device Events it doesn't just let me select the location of the music folder like in the 4 video. It keeps going deeper into the folders like it wants to select a file. Do I need to create an XML file for it to select? That isn't what it looked like she did in this video at 9 minutes. Thanks so much for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Do you have your library path setup? Have you scanned the path to build the library. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardik Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 I can play files from My Music through the app if that's what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardik Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Should I be able to select media to play within the media scene agent? Seems like that is how it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Under programming, you just go to the room, select Media - -> Playlist -> playlist of choice. Or Albums...etc Not even sure why you're using Media Scenes, hate those things - but to each there own demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardik Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 That worked! Thanks so much! I just didn't know any better re: Media Scenes. I'm just trying to learn this from their You Tube videos which are blurry and outdated. Is there a better way to learn this stuff without having to ask questions on here? Every time I try to use the search function I'm not finding much on here. Seems most of the questions being asked are far more advanced than my level. Any idea on the playlist problem? I noticed she has "All Files" selected, but mine only allows XML files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Here's probably your best bet. I know C4 is working on updating their end-user info but it won't happen overnight. Not sure what you mean? I already explained selecting playlists in the previous post. If you're trying to import playlists from something other than C4 - that doesn't work.

Shardik Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 I was just trying to create a playlist in C4 based on the instructions in that video. It looks like I didn't even need to do that step though. I just skipped it and it worked. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Gotcha - that step is more for importing old C4 playlists etc, or if you're REALLY handy you can do it yourself, but it's not truly 'supported' from an easy user perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
