Turn TV on automatically at start?

[Hansomfiser]

I want Media Portal to turn My Tv on automatically when I start Media Portal. So I don't have to click on the menu item myself.
I'd also love if it could be auto-x'ed, that is fullscreen (then I do the alt+enter myself when I want it completely full screen)

Is it possible?

Thanks

Search the forums, this question has been asked before.

Well sorry for the inconvenience but I couldn't manage to find any help through searching.

Hopefully once the new site appears we can have these kinds of questions on there.

If you look in MP Setup, click General on the left and there's an option to start MP fullscreen.

Click on Television on the left and there's an option to turn on TV automatically.

I searched for the keywords start TV and found this thread. It was on the sixth page that the search came up with. I guess it would have shown the thread sooner if I used the keyword autostart and TV. Using the correct keywords helps in cutting down the amount of searching. I've found if I don't find what I am looking for after the third search results page then I go back and try some different keywords.

Oh well. Happy reading!

Brocklander - Yes I agree - We really need a FAQ section that allows for questions/answers to be quickly searched through for new people. That may help out by cutting down the frustrations.

That option turns TV on automatically when you select TV in MP. But that was not the question from Hansomfiser. He asked how to turn TV on automatically when starting MP.

Ah sorry, I missunderstood :?

That link to Smirnuff/Alien's plugin seems quite good, will try it tonight.

Please note, if you are using 0.2.0.0 RC1 MP... Well I have doubts it will work due to the many changes (I could be wrong) which have been made. But if it doesn't work another developer will have to get into that plugin and fix any issues there maybe with the latest release. Otherwise you will need to work with the previous release.

if the auto turn on TV 0plugin doesn't work with v.2 then you can also use the MyKeys plugin. This isn't fully automatic, but you can assign a single key to switch to full screen TV which is a start

yeah my threads pretty much the same as this, just more general about having any plugin either as the default selection on the start screen, or just going straight into it.

basically the answers were:

there is a plug in to auto turn on TV. Can't remember where though.
There is also a MyKeys plugin that at least gives you a single key press to go to full screen TV.

i don´t know if it is that what you need but with the "home" plugin you can make your own menu-structure.
