awesome, this works great for the needs i have in my nightclub, but now i want to do something a little differnt, basically heres what im looking for:
i have a network within the club, with a server in my office that serves 1 xbox videos for display on the tv, now my dj's dont show up to begin playing music till around 9:30pm at night, and the club opens at 7.
i have a ton of mp3s that we did from taking all of our music and encoding (our club has actually been checked numerous times for legal music (not burned), so to be legit we encoded all our music) what i want to do is simplify everything, so im going to put another xbox in the dj both and run the audio ports into my mixer, basically i want it this xbox to do is check the system date, and play a playlist according to that.
so lemme give you an example:
its wednessday night, our hiphop urban night, i come in, turn everything on, turn on the xbox and the system boots in to mediacenter, runs a autoexec script, that run another script that checks the system time, if day = wednessday it loads wednessday.plu, randomizes it, begins playing it and switches to visuals.
thursday, friday and saturday would be the same, but obviously the script would reconize a different day of the week and switch to load a different script (thursday: rock, friday: country and top40, saturday: everything)
possible?
