Can I disable MP Close? (1 Viewer)

[cul8er]

Is it possible to disable/hide the close MP button or remap it to not close MP but hybernate the PC?

I have a HTPC and is only using it for MP. MP automatically starts when the PC starts and I want it to hybernate or close the PC when someone exits MP.

The reason for this is that I want to hide the fact that the HTPC is a PC.... If someone by misstake exists MP that should close the PC or hybernate it. I want to hide the fact that it is a PC and make it "look" more like a digital box..

Any ideas/suggestions?

You could just comment out the code for the exit button in MyHome.xml and topbar.xml for your skin. Of course, that wont help the fact that ctrl-alt-del or Alt-F4 will reveal that there really is a computer under there... But that may not be a problem if you have a remote that doesn't have these buttons...

So, just add <!-- and --> tags around the code for the exit buttons, like the example below for topbar.xml:

    <!--
    <control>
      <description>Exit button</description>
      <type>button</type>
      <id>31</id>
      <posX>1250</posX>
      <posY>4</posY>
      <width>60</width>
      <height>53</height>
      <textureFocus>exit_enabled.png</textureFocus>
      <textureNoFocus>exit_disabled.png</textureNoFocus>
      <action>97</action>
      <label>-</label>
      <action>97</action>
      <onleft>30</onleft>
      <onright>21</onright>
      <onup>31</onup>
      <ondown>2</ondown>
    </control>
    -->

To make it look better you might want to consider moving the other buttons further to the right, or it might be obvious that there is something missing in that empty space...

Hi thanks for the suggestion.

But to the second question: "Remap it so it doesn't close MP but hibernate the computer instead, is that also possible" ?

I want to use my power on/of button on my Hauppauge remote to hibernate the computer. As it is now pressing this button only closes MP.

How can I achive this?

Thanks
