[QUOTE="Lardy, post: 1287186, member: 49578"] Many moons ago I configured LaunchBox to start from App Launcher. I always had issues once I quit LaunchBox and disconnected my DualShock 4 controller from the bluetooth that my MCE remote control had limited functionality. For example the Windows button would not work so I could not get back to home and therefore could not even restart MediaPortal. I would always have to quickly VNC from my phone to restart the MediaPortal client. Today I reconfigured the App Launcher item to first close MediaPortal and then start LaunchBox. Now when I exit LaunchBox and disconnect the DS4 I can use the Windows button on the MCE remote to launch MP2 and all is right in the world. Here's how I did it: 1. VB Script (Not my script. Credit: Unknown) ps-hidden.vbs [code] Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Set args = Wscript.Arguments For Each arg In args objShell.Run("powershell -windowstyle hidden -executionpolicy bypass -noninteractive ""&"" ""'" & arg & "'"""),0 Next [/code] 2. Create a PowerShell script: app-launcher-1.ps1 [code] taskkill.exe /im "MP2-Client (x64).exe" F:\Games\LaunchBox\Core\LaunchBox.exe [/code] 3. Create App Launcher item for LaunchBox [code] Short Name: LaunchBox Arguments: "C:\ps-hidden.vbs" "C:\app-launcher-1.ps1" Application Path: wscript.exe Description: LaunchBox User Name: Password: Run as Admin: not selected Icon Path: C:\LaunchBox.bmp Screen Mode: Maximum [/code] Now that I have recently purchased LauchBox premium I don't need VNC on my phone any longer as I can use my MCE remote for MP2 and my DS4 to navigate LaunchBox, start and exit games. Let us now if you have any questions and good luck. [/QUOTE]
