Option to "Restart" MP from within MP... (1 Viewer)

[vvulture]

Do any of you have a way to make this possible ?
I would like to option to re-start MP from within MP.
Currently it is possible to either shutdown your HTPC alltogether, or just exit out of MP. What i was wondering if is there was a way to have an option to re-start MP.

I hope i am making sense...


cheers

Could you please explain why you want this option?

Do you have something like MPTray installed? then, once MP has exited, you can use the menu button to relaunch it?

I currently have a key combination set to run restart.vbs which is found in the Mediaportal Application folder. Handy when MP suffers a crash. I also use this to run a script which switches my screen between my projector and LCD monitor, and then restarts MP using restart.vbs.

use multishortcut together with restart.vbs..

I am guessing it is for the same reason I needed something similiar. When my system resumes from S3 MP is only filling the left 1/3rd of the screen. I use eventghost for remote control anyway, so I have EG run a cmd that runs W7 Killtask to close MP and then relaunch it. Takes only a few seconds and MP is fullscreen again.

Hey Spragle...

When i resume from S3, sometimes TV doesn't work. Restarting MP solves this ( no need to reboot entire machine, just MP ).

I don't have MPTray installed, but i guess i could try it. I would prefer it to be from within MP tho...

Doesn't it ( restart.vbs ) reboot the entire machine ?




Thanks guys...

Did you see:

Restart MediaPortal on resume (Default: off)
This will prevent stuttering playback with nVidia videocards.

I did, but this does not apply.

I do not put my HTPC into standby, only the server.
When HTPC turns on, it wakes up the server with WOL. Problem is that TV does not always work and a restart of MP client is required ( only MP, not complete reboot ).


Anyway, the problem is solved by using 1.1.0 RC1 and MPTray. I was using 1.1.0 Alpha until now


Thanks for the help guys !
