@Martin-Musso, that's a cool idea. I did some research and figured out how to play a playlist and send the output to a Chromecast device:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" c:\playlists\playlist.xspf --sout="#chromecast{ip=192.168.86.25}" --demux-filter=demux_chromecast

But, I haven't figured out how to tell it to resume where it left off. This sortof worked, but only for the first thing in the playlist.

I tried this extension with no joy. https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154044/
If you do try it, you'll want to download it from the Files tab and manually drop it in
C:\Users(your user)\AppData\Roaming\vlc\lua\extensions
If you search and install it from within VLC you'll get an old version that's even worse.

@Jasbleidy-Lourido-Ortega, please explain. You should be able to say, "Alexa, turn on Night Mood." Is that short enough?

@VladDracko, please try changing that command to a foreground command.

Some commands only work as foreground commands, like this one.

hi, i can't make working.
não consigo fazer funcionar, podem me ajudar

@Noah-Nauman, generally you can use @Igor-Penha's solution and just copy the target from the shortcut and make that your command.

Or, if you still want to open an actual shortcut file (.lnk file), you can use the start command, like this:

start C:\shortcuts\test.lnk

@André-Ricardo-da-Costa, good. I think you'll have success if you uninstall before re-installing, or if you use that "Update Agent" to upgrade.

@Ivan-Kuler, thanks for doing that video! I watched it, then I liked it and subscribed.

For those following along at home, here's what I had to do:

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-track-down-usb-flash-drive-usage-in-windows-10s-event-viewer/
especially Figure B.

I couldn't figure out why no events were registering in all the ordinary places and it turns out they get logged in a more obscure on and only if it's been enabled.
Once that was done, I un/replugged my USB monitor to create an event and then took an event entry and "assigned task" to it.

Oh and, every time the USB glitches out, it gets recognized by Nirsoft's utility as a new display so I had to put a loop in the batch file for Display3 to Display20 to move my common windows back to their preferred monitors. Bit of a pain, only because I hadn't had to do that in a batch for years and forgot how.

@Lucas-Camila, is this the Hyper terminal you're talking about? https://hyper.is/

One option is you could add hyper to the end of your ~/.bashrc file to run it when you start WSL.

This command can open WSL for you:

start wsl

For what it's worth I also noticed you can run bash scripts in WSL from TRIGGERcmd with a command like this:

bash /home/russ/script.sh

@Andrew, I saw the same thing. I ran that batch file via TRIGGERcmd - nothing seemed to happen, but something did happen. You have a pause at the end, so it stayed running behind the scenes. I found mine in Task Manager when I showed the "Command line" column.

Try adding something to your batch file that you could actually see, like this:

@echo off title This is your first batch script! echo Welcome to batch scripting! calc

@Russ said in Never used parameters before...:

@Royher-Figuera, in a .bat file, the syntax for a parameter is %1 for the first parameter, and %2 for the second parameter, etc.

So you could make a simple batch file that google's something like this:

start https://www.google.com/search?q=%1

@Russ Yes, my mistake.

I have a error in my .bat file with a "$" and "%". I compare with my google.bat and this is ok and modified the another files.

Thank You

@Marcelouw-GamePlay, awesome. I'm glad it's working.

@Wander-Sousa

Da uma olhada se este post te ajuda.

@Jaxon-T, if you use three of these "back ticks" ` before and after your text, it will show it as a code block and keep any backslashes intact.

Like this:

{ "trigger": "sleep", "command": "d:\\tools\\pstools\\psexec -h C:\\\\Windows\\System32\\psshutdown.exe /d /t 1", "offCommand": "", "ground": "background", "voice": "sleep", "voiceReply": "", "allowParams": "false" }

I tried your command and it didn't work because of UAC. You'll notice I ran it with psexec -h. That worked because it's running as a background command which runs it as Local System which has access to run things "As Administrator" with psexec -h.

@Jd-pt, I'll try to get to this soon. In the meantime, do you have any questions.

If Gmail is blocking you from sending, you might need to turn on "Less secure apps" for this script to use Gmail's smtp server: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

@Russ Nice! I used the same method and managed to make the WhatsApp Desktop application downloaded from the Windows Store open by Alexa's voice command. And this is helpful, as I use whatsapp a lot on the web. I will continue testing other functions of the Trigger CMD ! Thank you!
