[QUOTE="xppx, post: 329788, member: 55884"] First thing is solved by [COLOR="blue"]wiping the cache[/COLOR]. The steps include adding some images to the skins and sometimes MP chokes on this. Second thing is very easely done by improving the script and reading the install paths [COLOR="Blue"]directly from the registry[/COLOR]: [CODE] ; Read from the registry the proper install directory for Media Portal and PowerDVD ; Registry keys are XP based (vista uses others) [COLOR="DarkRed"]RegRead, MediaPortalAppPath, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal, ApplicationDir[/COLOR] if ErrorLevel ; there was a problem reading the key { MsgBox, 16, PowerDVD8Ctrl, The install path of Media Portal could not be found. ExitApp } [COLOR="darkred"]RegRead, PowerDVDAppPath, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE\Cyberlink\PowerDVD8, InstallPath[/COLOR] if ErrorLevel ; there was a problem reading the key { MsgBox, 16, PowerDVD8Ctrl, The install path of Cyberlink PowerDVD8 could not be found. ExitApp } [/CODE] For Vista these registry entries are a bit different. Just check your registry first :) nb. I wrote an enhanced autohotkey script that directly reads the pressed keys from the IRTransserver port. Advantages: - immediate reaction on keypress - mapping to any application possible - no problems with MP taking the focus (all the time) If there is any interest, I'll post it her :P [/QUOTE]
