What do you do with the windows binary? #1

Closed seanfilidis closed 9 years ago

How do you make this work on Windows?

I downloaded the windows binary on my Windows Plex machine.

Double clicking the .exe file just makes a DOS prompt window appear and disappear right away.

How am I supposed to tell it where to look for my .m3u file??

The program has no GUI (graphical user interface). It is a program used through the command prompt. I might update it soon though to allow dragging an M3U file onto it for people who don't know how to use a command line terminal.

Well, I generally know how to use the command prompt. But how do I enter the parameters the program needs? I assume I change directory to the folder where the .exe is located. Then what? What do I type to run the program from the prompt and with the necessary parameters?

Change the folder to the directory with the executable. Type the executables name and it will tell you the parameters it wants. Make sure to enclose paths with quotes. Example: PlexPlaylistImporter "C:\MyMusic\MyAlbum" "My Album Name"
