Title: Can Mc12 goes into Video View when Windows starts up?
Post by: monsterman on March 23, 2008, 10:57:14 pm

i have beeing using Mc12 with my HTPC.
One of the thing i want my PC to start up into after boot up is "Video View Mode".
Can this be configure? I hope to have this feature enable as my PC are mainly cofigure for the purpose of HTPC.

Thanks

Hi Mosterman,

This may not be what you're after, but I'll give it a go...

When you say "Video View Mode" I'm assuming you mean "Theater View Mode" (basically the pretty(ish) GUI)

Go to Tools > Options > Startup (or similar) then select Theater View in the "Startup mode"

Then copy a shortcut for MC into the startup folder in your start menu.

If you actually want it to open to a particular section in theater view eg. TV or Video, there are commands to do that - you'd need to create a batch file to run at startup.

Check out the wiki for the commands.

Definitely can be done and quite easily too. Hope I've helped. Good Luck!
