Title: Manage Links !
Post by: cattani on August 07, 2010, 12:26:22 pm

Hello !
How can i add my favorite links in right corner.
For now we have Google, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. In Manage Links are listed more, like Youtube, Amazon and more.

How can i change what links to appear in up right corner ?
I move down and up in the list but no result.
Also in right click on a track only 3 links appear.

Click on "Edit Search" towards the bottom of the Manage Links dialog. Each search type is set to only appear for appropriate media. (You probably don't want to bother with "All Music Guide" when you've only got movies in your current view).

Not sure what you mean about this.

If you don't ever want to use Rotten Tomatoes, highlight it in the Links column under Manage Links and press Remove. Alternatively, if you think you might want to use it in the future you could use Edit Search... and paste in the following: ~[Media Type]=[Data],[Image],[Playlist],[TV],[Video]
This will make it so that the link does not appear without having to delete it.

To add a YouTube link press the Add... button and copy the following text using the "Paste Link Information From Clipboard" button.

Code: [Select]

<Link version="1.2">
<Item Name="Name">YouTube</Item>
<Item Name="Filter">[Media Type]=[Data],[Image],[Playlist],[TV],[Video]</Item>
<Item Name="Action">2</Item>
<Item Name="Base URL">http://www.youtube.com</Item>
<Item Name="Search URL">http:////www.youtube.com//results?search_query=Hexify([Search])</Item>
</Link>
If you don't want the YouTube link to appear for all media types, you can press the Edit Search... button and deselect whatever media type you need in the search wizard dialog.

You can add any links you like manually like this. The main trick is to figure out what the search URL needs to be.

Do you have Flash installed for IE on your system?  You need the IE version of Flash, since MC15 uses IE's engine.
