[QUOTE="shewless, post: 85807, member: 25362"] I would really like to add an option to my music so that it will continue to play if an external application is launched from mediaportal. Using My Programs, if you launch a program, it currently stops music play. I tried spawning a process and keeping mediaportal open, but no matter what option I pick, music stops when something else is run. At first I thought it was My Programs sending a command to my music to stop.... but then I played with my radio, and launching a program while the radio is playing doesn't stop the music! (although it does force a reload of the music which causes temporary stop). I would like some help... if you could let me know which files would be a good place to start - or better yet which methods to look in - and if somebody has some insight as whether I should start with my music or my programs that would be appriciated too... I don't want to change how mediaportal works be default - but I think as a strong media center it should have the option to be able to play music and do other tasks at the same time. For example, say you have a whole bunch of roms installed and an emulator... and you're having a party... so while you're playing music, somebody decides.. hey.. let's play pong... so they click on pong through the my programs interface and all of a sudden the music stops and now the whole party is sad :( It would be much better to have the music continue as the external program is launched... and I don't think this would be hard for somebody who understands how my programs and my music works. I will try.. but if somebody could point me in the correct direction I could do it much faster! Thanks [/QUOTE]
