Title: External TV program
Post by: Urfalo on February 07, 2006, 01:35:45 pm

Hi,
I want to use snapstream beyond TV together with MC because of the streaming function. But when I'm in theater view MC cant open the beyond TV. It goes back to standard view for 2 sec, an back to theater view. An nothing more happends. I have copyed link string from the shortcut of BTV, so  I'm shure MC links to the right program.  ?

Media Center waits for the program it starts to finish.

If that program is a stub that just launches something else and quits in 2 seconds, you'd see the behavior you're describing.

Maybe the authors of the other software would have a hint or other command line you could use?

You can also make Media Center exit Theater View from a batch file that also runs a program.  However, this won't restore MC when the program is done unless you figure out the first problem.

Good luck.
