MultiShortcut plugin (4 Viewers)

The short answer is that I don't know.

I suggest making a backup of the old ones before you then replace them. If you have any problems with MP after that then you can reinstate them.

Ok, sorry to be such a pain. I know this should be simple, but I'm obviously missing something here. I copied the files as indicated, ran the DLLFix.exe. I got this:

*******************************************************
** **
** MultiShortcut DLL fix (.net metadata changer) **
** **
*******************************************************
1.) Patching files...
- PATCHED: HuluDesktop.dll with 00 value.
2.) Done.
3.) Press Enter to close...

I closed that and went in to "MediaPortal Configuration" then looked under Plugins. I don't see my plugin (I named the DLL "HuluDesktop.DLL", so I'm looking for a plugin called HuluDesktop, right?).

I still don't have the XML file. I searched the whole hard drive. Can you tell me where it goes? And maybe post what the contents should be? Is there anything else I could be missing? Thanks again for your help (and your patience!)

Allright... Igot it to install. It looks like the files actually go under C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal, not C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal. The XML file then gets created under the "docs and settings" path. My confusion was that there were MediaPortal folders in both locations (c:\Program..\ and c:\docs...\). Thanks for your help.

I am glad you got it sorted.

hey everyone, i am having some trouble getting this plugin working... i am new to mp and i added the files directly to the location that ericgeil directed. When i try to put the entire folder in there and then fun the fix.dll the the dll is not added to the list of xml in the plugin section, although when i manually add the dll to the plugin section, it will populate in the plugin section but then it searches for the language files and fails to open the plugin in the mp config. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.

Hi Framug,
do MultiShortcutSetup + MultiShortcutInstaller. run also for MP 1.0.2 Version?

Do newer one than 1.4 run on 1.0.2?

Hi Andrew
No, sorry, 1.4 is the last one for MP version less than MP 1.1 revision.

Is it possible to show a message in MP with this plugin when launching an external app?

Let's say that I want to launch anydvd in the background using a key press on my remote. I map the specific MSCplugin ID to a button and when I press it, a pop-up in MP shows "anydvd on".

This should work if you use multi-shortcut to launch a VBScript instead of launching the application (e.g. anydvd) directly.
The script (call it maybe "launch_anydvd.vbs") would then look something like this:

Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
wshShell.run ""C:\Program Files\AnyDVD\anydvd.exe"", 3, False
set wshshell = nothing
MessageBox ("anydvd on")

The application command to put in multi-shortcut would then be the path to "launch_anydvd.vbs".
The double quotes are only needed if your executable file path has spaces in it. I am assuming that you want anydvd to start minimized and continue to run after the script finishes. I don't guarantee that this will work exactly as written, but there are lots of websites which can help you debug it if it doesn't.
