I use the WMC media browser plugin which has a plugin of its own called gametime to play roms on my htpc. I thought it would be neat to make a button on my harmony that loaded straight into media browser.
I have a shortcut for media browser that was made upon install but when I try to open that via eventghost it just loads WMC.
My solution: I created a batch file with this code:
cd "C:\Users\k0t3x\Documents"
mediabrowser.lnk
Then I mapped a button like f11 (don't remember exactly) on my harmony, then mapped f11 in eventghost to open the batch file which in turn opens media browser and it actually works BUT its pretty slow AND when it opens up I can't exit out of it for some reason with my remote. I can navigate the menu and everything. I end up having to keep pressing back and navigate down to shutdown wmc instead of it actually closing with my mapped exit button.
To exit I mapped the "exit" button on my harmoney to the "end" button on my keyboard and then mapped "end" in eventghost as {alt+f4} and it works fine except when I load up media browser with the above method.
If I use my "wmc" button on my remote to open WMC and manually navigate to media browser it works just fine.
Any ideas?
