HD Player Chapter 12: Remote Control Protocols
73 Rev. 6.0
Command Reference
Playrange <Channel> <start chapter> < end chapter>
Sets the start and end chapters for a Playlist on the specified channel. This command will also pre-load the start
chapter in preparation for the Playlist command.
The Playrange command requires an amount of time to complete, because of some initialization that must occur
when a new file is selected. If the HD Player is used in a simple application where a single file is repeatedly
played (in a theater for example) it is more efficient to use the “loop” command (see Loopon below).
[When the Playrange command is complete the HD Player will return this command:
Channel x Cued <cr> <lf> (where x is the base channel set in the channel properties).]
Playfiles <Channel> <start chapter> <end chapter>
Load and play a range of files
Playlist <Channel>
Begins playback of the selected chapters. This command should normally follow a Playrange command.
Play <Channel>
Play the currently loaded file.
[When a file is playing the HD player will return this command:
Channel x Playing <cr> <lf> (where x is the base channel set in the channel properties)
.]
[When a file has played the HD Player will return this command:
Channel x Playlist Complete <cr> <lf> (where x is the base channel set in the channel properties)
.]
****Replace <Channel> <chapter to remove> <chapter to add>

Note: The Play and Playlist commands are identical in the HD Player. Both are maintained for compatibility with
other MediaSonic Player products.
Stop <Channel>
Stops the currently playing file.
Pause <Channel>
Pauses the currently playing file.
[When a file is paused the HD Player will return this command:
Channel x Paused <cr> <lf> (where x is the base channel set in the channel properties)
.]

Seek to a position in the file. Note: This will seek to the next closest index point (i.e. I frame) to the frameno
