Change screen resolution by starting MP with remote

stimpyrules · 2008-01-19, 10:33

Hi,

I found this link, but it's not exectly what I want.

I use Win XP Pro, and want to start MP with the start button (green button) of my MCE remote.
In the link I found, i have to start a batchfile to set the screen resoluton. This works fine, but i can't use the startbutton (with MPtray) to start MP, because MPtray uses the mediaportal.exe.

Does anyone have an idea?

1. start MP with start button
2. resolution must change to 1280x720
3. on exit MP the resolution have to switch back to 1280x1024.

(this work know with grider, but is doesn't work that good (crashes a few times), so I want to try this without Grider)

I have tried this also but that doesn't work with the MP 0.2.3.0
.

Hey I made a mondification to MPtray for another problem. But should work here to.
My mptray starts both mediaportal.exe and a .bat file when you press the green button.

MPtray that runs shortcuts
