I use my HTPC for two things, and two things only. First, MediaCenter 10 handles all my music playback (700+ CDs, all in WMA Lossless). Second, TheaterTek takes care of the DVD playback. I do not rip my DVDs to disk. Since my HTPC is hooked up to a front projection system, I control MediaCenter with my Pronto and a neat little utility called Supernudelist. While I don't get full control over my music, I can handle 90% of what I do without firing up the projector and bringing out the keyboard and mouse. When I watch a DVD, I still use only the Pronto for everything.
The question I have is whether it is possible for Theater View to launch TheaterTek. I wouldn't mind using Theater View, or even Standard View, for those occassions when I do have the projector on. I know I can get myHTPC or XLobby, but I would much rather stay in MC. My goal is to treat the HTPC as more of a set top box than a PC. Wherever possible, I don't want anyone to know that a PC is involved.
Note, I'm not interested in DVD playback via MC10. I really like the TT interface, and I'm pretty hooked on being able to use ffdshow.
Am I out of luck?
