      One thing about the Sony though.
      The space for the Title/name on either line depends on the type of characters and not the number of characters.For instance,I can put 10 capital "W" in the same space I can put 36 "i".Is that similar to how the Pioneer works?
      I notice that TW shows how many characters are used but if the box was a specific size to only fit the size that sony uses,that would be the best!
      Thanks again.

        No Pioneer shows 12 chars/line any size. I've never found a code combination to fill in the second line on my Pioneer jukeboxes.
        Don't think the box supports it.
        Somebody once told me the Sony uses 22 chars/line. Commandline parsing can't count chars.
        And locking the size to any specific brand player is simply not smart. Then I would have to recode for each player. And Who Knows what they will come up with next year.

            Thanks for your help. I'll try it and let you know the outcome.

              Okay RadDad try this beta
              The num after the colon is string width computed in current font context (its a number that relates to width)
              Just figure out a number that works for your settup.
              And it would take way to much code to apply in the Automated Mode CommandLine field.

              Chopin: You might want to use this beta it does a "Cleaner" job
              First ver. Skipped Ch1 to make the button alignment work. this beta doesn't.

                Thanks for your efforts
                Here are some of the titles that get chopped off in the Sony display,and the numbers of how they appear in TW.
                1) Harry Potter and the Pr = 23:148
                2) Extraordinary Gentleme =22:154
                3) Down and Out in Beverly =23:161
                4) Something The Lord Ma =21:154
                5) The Day After Tomorrow =22:155
                So it looks like if I stay under 161, I should be OK.I'll do some testing to verify.
                Thank You

                  I find it odd that the i in prisoner didnt show up --width adds up to 156 with the i

                    Yes,I see what you mean.I don't understand why.
                    That was 1 of the first ones I did.
                    I've since learned to split up long titles on the 2 lines that Sony provides.
                    For instance:
                    1st line, Lord of The Rings
                    2nd line, Return of the King

                    Lord of The Rings
                    The Two Towers

                    Lord of The Rings
                    Fellowship of The Ring

                    I'll try and take a picture of the actual TV shot and post it here.

                          FallenAngel,
                          I'm attempting to run a program from TW using extended command lines.I've been successful,but it's been difficult finding the correct "click" locations. You said you used a freebie program called SENDMESSAGE to get click locations.Where do I find that? I believe i'm having trouble because I use a different screen resolution(as mentioned in your notes)
                          Thanks.

                            I'm writing my own standalone to run extended script files -- Ecl getting close to being finished. Unfortunately it won't use TW's script files. It contains its own finder -just press the left mouse down drag to loc and release.
                            I didn't include the support help files and still in Beta

                              Thanks,that Ecl does what I needed.
                              New situation now.
                              Using version 2.001,When I use the @DVDPATH@ macro,it chops off the drive letter.Example D:\TEST_TEST becomes :\TEST_TEST.
                              Actually what I need it to give me is just the name of folder as in TEST_TEST.Am I using the wrong command?

                                The only way that string can come up if TW's Select Target file shows it. I've tried to make it miss the Drive and can't make it happen.

                                Lets see your ext command line code


                                There isn't a macro for just the folder. ? What do you need it for
