[QUOTE="vuego, post: 773049, member: 23741"] I don't think MediaPortal can close other processes (unless someone made a plugin for this purpose). I've solved it by using EventGhost instead of MediaPortal's remote settings. EventGhost receives a trigger from my remote buttons. If no programs are running and I press Power on the remote, MediaPortal launches. If only MediaPortal.exe is running, the Power button will close MediaPortal. If MediaPortal.exe and snes9x.exe are running, Power will close only snes9x leaving MediaPortal.exe running. This solution will also let you control MediaPortal even if it's not in focus and any other software. For example I let EventGhost shut down my foobar2000 when launching MediaPortal since I most likely don't need to listen to music while watching TV. Granted it is more work to configure since you need to map all keys on the remote to the appropriate MediaPortal command but it's also much more powerful :cool: [/QUOTE]
