Appendix D: Background Music Player ("Mp3Player") Ecp Commands - Roku HD1000 Manual

Appendix D: Background music player ("mp3player")
ECP commands
The next table (below) shows commands valid for the mp3player app. From the shell, the
syntax to invoke these commands is:
ecp mp3player <command> [<arguments>]
Like Listen, the command is not case-sensitive.
Note: The mp3player application, having no GUI, takes as an argument when it is launched one
or more .mp3 files to play. These files are placed in an internal list. If playback reaches the end
of the list, it will start again from the beginning. There are ECP commands for manipulating
the list.
