Is there support or a plugin that allows for launching of external programs? I've searched but can't find anything recent on the subject.

Thanks!

    There is support for launching of external programs in various MediaPortal and TV Server plugins... but usually only in certain scenarios (eg. when specific conditions are met). So, can you supply more details about exactly what you're looking for?

    I recently realized that since I have mepo on windows 8 I can launch the windows 8 app (netflix, espn, etc) and got everything running... except I haven't found an elegant way to launch the apps from mepo. Right now I could get to the start menu then run to the app and launch and so forth, but what I really wanted is a way to launch say ESPN straight from a plugin on the main page.

    Thanks.

    Good. I am pleased that that is now working for you. :) If you have ever looked at MP debug log files, you may have noticed that apparent errors are not rare, but these are "errors" that do not affect the functioning of the product. (It is not desirable to have these errors in the log file, as it misleads users, testers, and...

    I'm using MP1 Ukraine ( as a side issue Trend antivirus says later versions are ransomwear ) and I've used MP for many years. Have I missed something all this time? Is there a way of marking recordings as favourites, and an easy way to display them? Thank you
