Introduction

An MJP file is just a simple script file which is used to simplify Media Jukebox plug-in installation. Actions part of MJP file can be somewhat confusing and intimidating for a beginner but continue reading and you will see that there is nothing to be afraid of.

Actions

Every section consists of two major parts: file name and file action. Here is an example:

File1=CoolFile.exe                 // file name
File1Action1=RUN                // file action

File name - specifies name of the file to use to perform action(s). File name can be name of the specific file in the ZIP archive or it can be *.*, later one means that all the files in the ZIP archive will be used to perform action(s).

In the following example all files from ZIP archive will be copied to Media Jukebox plug-in directory:

File1=*.*
File1Action1=COPY_PLUGINDIR

File action - specifies action(s) to perform on the file.

More then one action can be performed on a file:

File1=CoolFile.dll
File1Action1=COPY_PLUGINDIR
File1Action2=REGISTER

There can be multiple sections of actions inside on MJP file

File1=*.*
File1Action1=COPY_PLUGINDIR
File2=AnotherCool.dll
File2Action1=REGISTER

.....

FileN=AnotherCoolN.dll
FileNAction1=REGISTER

Copy Actions:

• COPY_INSTALLDIR - copy files to installation directory
• COPY_PLUGINDIR - copy files to plug-ins directory
• COPY_HELPDIR - copy files to help directory
• COPY_VISUALIZATIONS - copy files to visualization scripts directory
• COPY_TRACKINFOS - copy files to track infos directory
• COPY_VISSTUDIO - copy files to Vis Studio directory
• COPY_SYSDIR - copy files to system directory
• COPY_WINDIR - copy files to windows directory

NOTE: Copy commands set in bold will append plug-ins name to the path. For example COPY_VISUALIZATIONS creates the following path: <MJ Install Dir>\Visualizations\<Plug-in name>\

Misc Actions:

• REGISTER - registers specified COM or ActiveX file.
• RUN - executes specified file
• RUN DONTWAIT - executes specified file but does not wait until file file exits. Useful when running ReadMe files.
• REG_PLUGIN - register Media Jukebox or Winamp plug-in
