How can I start an external program like Vlc?
Cmd command is>
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" D:\Video\Artist - Title.mp4 --start-time=87
Exec Command
Exec Shell Command don't do the trick

Please post your exact command...
E.g. it might look like this (your quotes have just not been set accordingly):
Code: Select all
EXEC_SHELL_COMMAND C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe "D:\Video\Artist - Title.mp4" --start-time=13

Thx it works.
I will try to change it to
Code: Select all
EXEC_SHELL_COMMAND C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe "D:\{trackname} .mp4" --start-time={cueinms}
also I will try
The --start-time=$(($x-3)) to get it more in line (lip sync)

Note, that ProppFrexx macros must precede with a $ sign,
Eg. ${trackname}
And note, that not all macros are available with all events… see the user manual appendix for details.
