<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi everyone,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've got a question about invoking VIC. Currently we use bat files to invoke an older version of vic and enter rooms which are internal to our network. This command looks like this:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">start c:\vic.exe -C "Room Name" -u "/vic-startup.4" -D "o100vc.dll - Osprey Capture Card 1" xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxx</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We're trying to move to the new PIG release and the included Open Mash Vic v5.2.1, but we still need to use this bat file scheme. We've tried modifying the bat files to read as follow: </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">start c:\ag\agapps\bin\mash c:\ag\agapps\bin\vic -name vic -C "Room Name" -u "/vic-startup.4" -D "o100vc.dll - Osprey Capture Card 1" xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxx</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This causes problems. Firstly, mash returns the error: 'Tk_Init failed! Expected integer but got "/vic-startup.4"'. If the -u parameter is removed, vic launches into the correct room, but the startup options we require (those specified in vic-startup.4) are lost. Secondly, vic does not recognize the -D parameter, so there is no capture card selected when it starts up. In fact, the only command line option making it through to vic is the session name.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So my question is, how can we pass command line arguments to vic through mash? Any suggestions would be appreciated.</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">For reference, here are the additional startup options we need, from vic-startup.4:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">option add Vic.muteNewSources false startupFile</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">option add Vic.maxbw 10000 startupFile</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">option add Vic.bandwidth 4000 startupFile</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">option add Vic.framerate 29 startupFile</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">option add Vic.quality 100 startupFile</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">option add Vic.transmitOnStartup false startupFile</FONT>
