Run only when process is not running

[rspai]

I am a new to AHK.

I want to run a playlist file (mpcpl file- test.mpcpl) if the MPC-Player( process "mpc-hc.exe") is not running. I am trying with the script below. It runs the playlist when mpc-hc.exe is running as well as when it is not running. Please help.

Code: Select all

!n::
If !ProcessExist("mpc-hc.exe")
{
Msgbox, mpc-hc.exe does not exist
Run, K:\May2017\test.mpcpl
}

If ProcessExist("mpc-hc.exe")
{
Msgbox, mpc-hc.exists
}

ProcessExist(Name){
	Process,Exist,%Name%
	return Errorlevel
}
Return

The script works when tested with a known process like notepad.exe. Are you sure your process is named exactly mpc-hc.exe? You could try using WinExist to look for the player window instead of looking for the process.
