LightJockey Help
cue list.The MediaPlayer plays the media clip exactly one time from start all the way to the end,
ignoring any loop options. A MediaPlayer playback file is required to specify the media clip and
MediaPlayer settings.
How to:
Launching the MediaPlayer
1. Use the execute file command to specify the LJ MediaPlayer as program to execute
(LJMediaplayer.exe). The program is located in the main LightJockey folder.
2. Specify the Playback file to be loaded by the MediaPlayer as parameter - specify the file name
only (e.g : videosample1.mps). Important: The name of the playback file must not contain any
spaces and the playback file must be located in the default playback files folder in the current
user library: <LightJockey>\User\<User Library Folder>\MediaPlayerSettings\ (this is the default
location of playback files).
3. Specify an optional wait time parameter (in seconds). Since loading time of a large media file
may vary from time to time, the wait parameter is useful when the MediaPlayer is loading a large
media file but still required to start playback at a specific time. If no wait parameter is given the
MediaPlayer will load the media file and start playing immediately - when a wait time is used the
MediaPlayer will load the media file on startup but wait the specified amount of time before
actually starting playback.

Using Winamp for digital audio playback
Important Note:
After the initial implementation of the Winamp interface it has been discovered that Winamp
has serious problems with time code consistency. Please read the following section:
Winamp time code issues . If precise time codes are needed for time code synchronization
the LightJockey Mediaplayer is be a better alternative to Winamp.
Winamp is a piece of software developed by Nullsoft for playback of digital audio files. Winamp is not
restricted to MP3 files only, but supports a multitude of digital audio formats. Winamp is a registered
trademark of Nullsoft. Winamp is NOT distributed LightJockey but must be acquired separately. At
the time of writing Winamp may be downloaded freely from www.winamp.com. Please refer to
Winamp's own documentation on how to setup and operate Winamp.
Winamp
Note: The LightJockey interface only supports Winamp version 2 and a minimum of version
2.74 is required.
Configuration notes
LightJockey's cue list utilizes Winamp for playback of digital audio and time code feedback by 'remote
controlling' specific Winamp functions. To prepare LightJockey to use Winamp, it must be configured
