Welcome! Wikis are websites that everyone can build together. It's easy!

Special Options

Available special startup options:

  • To run silently in the background: pass the argument -silent. This mode is used when scheduling iPlayAnywhere to run in the backgroud when Windows starts. -silent can be used with the -noinit argument ro run silently and not re-scan your iTunes Music Library. If this is used make sure you have already had iPlayAnywhere scan your iTunes Music Library at least once.
    • To add this option do the following:
        • Right-click on the iPlayAnywhere for iTunes desktop icon and click on properties.
        • Go to Target and add -silent to the end of the target. Make sure you add after the double quoted application exe path and name:
e.g."c:\Program Files\iPlayAnywhere\iPlayAnywhere.exe" -silent

  • To run without automatically re-scanning the iTunes Music Library: pass the argument -noinit. This mode is useful when you have already built your web pages and do not want to rebuilt everything everytime which is especially useful when your music library is large. By default now iPlayAnywhere will prompt the user asking whether to re-scan their iTunes Music Library or not. If the -noinit option is specified the question is not asked and no re-scan is down. -noinit can be used with the -silent argument.
    • To add this option do the following:
      • Right-click on the iPlayAnywhere for iTunes desktop icon and click on properties.
      • Go to Target and add -noinit to the end of the target. Make sure you add after the double quoted application exe path and
name: e.g."c:\Program Files\iPlayAnywhere\iPlayAnywhere.exe" -noinit

  • To play a specific playlist - the url can be added to to play a specific playlist.
e.g. to play the playlist MarkelSoft Radio - http://68.100.170.31:8090/index.html?playlist=MarkelSoft Radio

  • To override the default web server port of 8090: pass the arguments -webServerPort {nnnn} (e.g. -webServerPort 8091). Check the windows properties for the iPlayAnywhere for iTunes application and you will see a default of -webServerPort 8090. You can also set the port using the {installation_dir}\config\preferences.cfg webServerPort setting. Use the View -> View Configuration main window or tray menu to change the configuration setting.
