Title: Startup in Theatre View using switch in shortcut
Post by: brentwoods on November 02, 2009, 06:08:44 am

I mostly use MC using the normal view mode but sometimes I would prefer to use Theatre view.  Specifically, this would be when using a remote control to start MC (via Girder).  Is there a way to run MC using a command with a switch to force Theatre view?  eg.  "C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 14\Media Center 14.exe" /Theatre

I could use a macro to open MC using the normal command, then send a "Ctrl-4" command to change to Theatre mode, but was hoping to find a way to simply run the program to startup straight into theatre mode (but without setting that as the default mode)

Thanks for any advice

you could use:
mc14.exe /Mode Theater
