Steam for XBMC - themacman - 2011-10-06

Im not sure if this is the correct place for this, but is there a way to open steam games directly from XBMC?

Are you talking about sports games? If so, try sportsdevil or espn3. Discussion of those plugins can be found in the plugins subforum.

I think he is not talking about st®eam but more about steam, like the game interface for let's say counter-strike, CoD or whatever...

Back to the question:
It should be possible to run it from advanced launcher or whatever or you can make a button in the main-menu that makes an "XBMC.Execute(steam://rungameid/240)" or something like this...for the appropriate ID's for the games just create a desktop-shortcut and open it's properties...

BTW: 240 ist CounterStrike-Soruce ;-)

And finally: No, this should be in XBMC general help and support...a mod may move it there...

cheers,
mm
