First off - this tool has been awesome and such a life saver compared to IR control of WMC. I have been using Roomie Remote (http://www.roomieremote.com) to send commands to MCE Controller to run WMC for some time. I recently have run into an issue I hope you can help with.
I have created custom entry points in the WMC Start Menu that point to 3rd party applications (like Media Browser) using MCE 7 Reset Toolbox. I would like to be able to address these entry points from a MCE Controller command but the only way I have gotten it to work so far is to create a shortcut such as:
Hi Charlie,
First off - this tool has been awesome and such a life saver compared to IR control of WMC. I have been using Roomie Remote (http://www.roomieremote.com) to send commands to MCE Controller to run WMC for some time. I recently have run into an issue I hope you can help with.
I have created custom entry points in the WMC Start Menu that point to 3rd party applications (like Media Browser) using MCE 7 Reset Toolbox. I would like to be able to address these entry points from a MCE Controller command but the only way I have gotten it to work so far is to create a shortcut such as:
C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe /entrypoint:{ce32c570-4bec-4aeb-ad1d-cf47b91de0b2}\{7fc80219-03e5-4656-9353-5b062674d798}
And point a StartProcess command in MCE Controller to this shortcut like this:
<StartProcess Cmd="mediabrowsermovies" File="C:\Users\TestUser\Desktop\test.lnk"/>
This has worked for me personally so far but is very cumbersome to manage (shortcuts, etc) for our "average" WMC users.
My question is - is there a way to address entry points individually the way you address the Netflix app?
My goal here is to create a set of configurations that can be given to anybody using Win7 Media Center. Ideally the simpler the better.
