Theatertek won't start

[jleach8]

App control server is running on localhost, but is not working. If I use ExecApp it starts up fine. When Theatertek is manually started the Theatertek IP driver connects fine. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Here's the code:

System::StartRemApp
P1=localhost
P2=C:\\Program Files\\TheaterTek\\TheaterTek DVD 2.0\\TheaterTek DVD.exe
P3=/NOSPLASH
P4=C:\\Program Files\\TheaterTek\\TheaterTek DVD 2.0\

Devices::FieldWrite
P1=TheaterTek.PlayMedia
P2=%(GVar:SelectedMovie)

Devices::FieldWrite
P1=TheaterTek.Transport
P2=Play

Action trace:

TRC: Start Action
Global Vars=
GVar:ZoneNumber=1
GVar:SelectedMovie=0,1,1,1
GVar:SelectedZone=Family Room

CMD: 001. System::StartRemApp
P1=localhost
P2=C:\Program Files\TheaterTek\TheaterTek DVD 2.0\TheaterTek DVD.exe
P3=/NOSPLASH
P4=C:\Program Files\TheaterTek\TheaterTek DVD 2.0\

CMD: 002. Devices::FieldWrite
P1=TheaterTek.PlayMedia
P2=0,1,1,1

TRC: End Action [Result=Failure]

For the binding, P1=localhost, you need to set it to the name given to the app control server when you installed cqc. The binding 'localhost' won't work unless you actually name the app control server 'localhost'. I don't know if folks do it or not, but the StartRemApp returns a true/false value so you can wrap the other commands inside an if or an if/else so you can throw up your own custom message if the application doesn't start.

Excellent, that did it. Changed the host name and it worked right away. Thanks!
