automatic start (fullscreen) TV

Haranaka · 2005-09-27, 22:33

I would like to start viewing TV when windows boots up. Now when windows boots MP is started and i see the default menu with the cursor standing on 'my music'.
Is there a way I can write a .bat script witch sends the right parameters to mediaportal.exe in order to get it starting the TV righ away?

Or is there an option in the setup witch I overlooked :? I can't imagine that I'm the only one interested in such an option...

Hi,

do not know, if it still works, but the "Autstart TV" plugin is what you are searching:

HTH, Flip.

Yep, the wife wants it to look like a TV, smell like a TV and taste like a TV... I was surprised there's no 'Direct to fullscreen Live TV' option built-in.

voxmortis: did you find, test and adopt the Autostart plugin?

(there is a new version now!)

thanks+regards
