Trout feature Request: Automatically play file
« on: March 29, 2011, 06:23 AM »
I have Trout set as my main mp3 player and would like it so when I click on a song it loads in Trout then automatically starts playing. as it is now it will load  up but  I have to hit play. It's a small thing i know but  when I have my design apps open I like to have the ability to use launchbar commander to quickly open a song or a few songs and be done with it lol

is it possible to have this feature added ?

I did try to add this a long while back even though I don't like players to work this way.  However, I was unable to get it working how I wanted so I reverted.  As a workaround, you could set up another LBC entry with the trout.exe /play parameter.  That way, you wouldn't have to leave LBC to play a song in Trout.  Make sense?

haven't been using LBC that long would I put /play  in the arguments section in the options of the trout entry ?
