Simple script command - syntax issue?MLServeCMD.

[simonmason]

I am trying to set some variables from a script. For the life of me I can't seem to get the syntax correct to make it work! I have tried this:

hs.plugin("MLHSPlugin").MLServeCMD "MLServeCMD.SetVariable|radio_nowplayingtrackplaying_1_kitche n~0"

and this:

hs.plugin("MLHSPlugin").MLServeCMD "MLServeCMD.Macro|SetVariable|radio_nowplayingtrackplaying_1_ kitchen~0"

I have looked through all of the documentation and the forum and I see both forms being used. But it doesn't work so I must be doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Syntax appears to be correct.

Have you looked at the logs? What happens?

[simonmason]

Ar both forms correct? I found my issue - I'm an idiot - I wasn't calling the right subroutine.

Yes, both are ok.

Your first example is how you would call a MLServeCMD with just one statement.

The second is a macro. So you can concatinate multiple MLServeCMD's together into one statement. You would need to separate them using the ! character.

Make sense?

hs.plugin("MLHSPlugin").MLServeCMD "MLServeCMD.Macro|SetVariable|radio_nowplayingtrackplaying_1_ kitchen~0!Setvariable|myvar~value!SetVariable|third~value"

Makes sense now, first command is obviously much easier!!
