Is it possible to get this awesome app to open something other than an exe file?
I am trying to open a media playlist. This is controled from down stairs so we can listen to music throughout the house. I normally have it up at all times on htpc. This way I only have to hit play on my remote and music starts.
Currently with your app I can get media player to open, but then i have to select the playlist manually. This defeats the purpose of me being able to just hit play.
The playlist extension is: .wpl. when I try to start that I get an error saying this is not a windows program.
Thanks,
Ken~

I just made a change based on what you said. When I get home I will test it out and let you know if it worked. Basically this is what I have now:
Loft Media Play List
Launch Loft Media Play List
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe "D:\Music\1-Playlist\Party-List.wpl"
Will keep you posted, and thanks again for the quick response.

Great app! I do have a question though. I'd like to use this to restart a program that's already running. For example, my PS3 Media Server sometimes needs rebooting and if I could use this to shutdown any current versions of the server and then boot up a new one, that'd be sweet. Is that possible?
Also, restarting a service?

is it normal that the event is triggered by every magic packet on the network? If this is the case I think this is not a proper solution for starting xbmc remotely because also if i only want to start other computers in the same network xbmc will be starting..

Should only be triggering on the ones you have it installed to...

Hmmm ever since the update I can no longer connect from outside my network. I used to be able to connect from any place and launch XBMC or my Playlist, but now stopped working.
On my tablet it keeps saying :Connection Failed: null, check your config
My config has not changed. I know its not my router as I have other services that I connect to from outside my network, and those all work fine.
To rule out the version update can you send me both the apk file and the windows file for the previous version?
Going to test to see if it still works from within my network tonight.\
