MultiShortcut plugin (3 Viewers)

[rekenaar]

Is there a way to 'close' MP instead of just 'hiding' it? I would like to open up a program and terminate MediaPortal.

All I want to do is have a menu link within MediaPortal that closes MP and Launches XBMC.

Hi guys

Sorry this reply is off-topic to the MultiShortcut forum.
Just want to let you know that you can map a remote button to accomplish the same.
You can use the Translator component of IRSS to accomplish that.

Open Translator
Create a macro with three steps: Send keystrokes ALT-F4 to close MP; pause for a second or two; Run/start other program.
Then map a button to the macro.

If you need help, we must continue the discussion in the IRSS forum please.

I used the new Multi-Shortcut DLL to link an aquarium screen saver. This worked OK with earlier versions under MP 1.13, but now the screen flickers every few seconds when I activate the screen saver via multi-shortcut. If I activate the screen saver normally from the Windows GUI, it works fine.
This could have many explanations, as I have also changed both TV and OS since then, but I would be grateful for any theories about the cause or ideas how to fix it.

Hi togehter,

the Multishortcut plug in is one of the most important MP plug ins controlling and executing external processes. Regarding MP 1.2 I still use a version which has been created during the beta phase of MP 1.2 (see first post).

I was wondering if the plug in is still under maintenance?
Is there a more actual version provided as installer?

I also have a little feature request. It is only allowed to assign *.exe and *.bat Files unfortunately no shortcuts?
Would be nice if this could be intecreated. Shouldn't be a big thing.

Many thanks!

To link screensavers to MultiShortCut, I have to copy the .SCR file and rename it to .EXE
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see why this should be necessary.

Hi which file of "multishortcut" at the beginning of this post do I have to use in combination with the "multishortcut.dll" out of post #118 for Mediaportal 1.2.2?

Hi.
I can start XBMC from inside MP with following Config:

  <section name="XBMC">

    <entry name="RestartMP">no</entry>
    <entry name="StopPlayer">yes</entry>
    <entry name="RestartPlayer">no</entry>
  </section>

If I call this, MP closes, XBMC starts and after I close XBMC I go back to MP... I use XBMC as picture viewer from inside MP as the MP- inbuild one is not usable if you have lots of pictures...

Hi which file of "multishortcut" at the beginning of this post do I have to use in combination with the "multishortcut.dll" out of post #118 for Mediaportal 1.2.2?

I only use some copies of dll for 1.2.x and to prepare a dll for first time usage dllfix.exe from first post. The installer did not work for me at all, so I prefer it the manual way. Ah, the Language Files in Program Data\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal\Languages\MultiShortcut are usefull, if you want the plugin to be localized.

The new version of Multishortcut plugin is available? The old version is not compatible with new 1.2.2.0 version of MediaPortal...

Thanks and greetings from Poland!

Hi.
This one:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...shortcut-plugin-75305/index12.html#post738562
works for 1.2.2 too. You have to install it manually and use dllfix.exe and language files from old version in Post #1

Ok, I just updated to the newest MP release, and I can't seem to get this to work anymore. Right now I'm using the DefaultWide skin.

I've followed the standard instructions that have been repeated a 100 times in this thread. I'm using the .dll from the laster post and then using the DLLFix.exe. I've placed and language files, etc.

Thoughts?

Hi,
I have installed Multishort and have configured it. But when starting MP I doesn't have a multishortcut button in the plugins section when using the StreamedMP skin. When using the DefaultWide skin I have this multishortcut button. So I think it's a problem of the skin itself, right?
