Is there a way to execute external programs from within MediaPortal that doesn't cause playback to stop?
I'd like to fire off some commands to the OS. Essentiall, I'm planning to build something to control my USB x10 device which is not yet supported by the x10 automation plugin. However, this could have some other uses as well. I'd like this to work just like My Programs works because I plan to have many programs that I will want to execute, not just a couple.
I've looked at myscript2 and my programs and I don't think that either of these will do what I want. MultiShortcut doesn't seem to do it either.
I would appreciate some assistance with this. This is my third attempt at implementing MediaPortal and I finally have it to a point where I can use it. I'm generally pleased, although I wish I could have more than one instance of the My Programs plugin...
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
