[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1269492, member: 141969"] There is a facility that is not used by any of the popular skins (perhaps some of the less-popular skins use it), namely the <application> tag, which is valid on the BUTTON control. See [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Button']this page[/URL] in the Wiki. I have just tried it, and it does in fact work :eek:. This is the xml that I used: [code]<control> <description>External application</description> <type>button</type> <id>0</id> <application>D:\test.bat</application> <arguments>Parameters passed to the app</arguments> <label>External App</label> ... </control>[/code] The filespec specified by the <application> tag must not be enclosed in quotes, even if it contains blanks. Parameters can be passed to the application via the <arguments> tag. I tried it with a BAT file. The file was invoked, although there was a momentary bright flash at the bottom of the screen (I think that this may have been the Windows "Task Bar"). The application is started in a minimised window. Is this facility useable for the types of uses that users want to use it for? :D I don't know o_O. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
