[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 1057112, member: 111675"] Hi there, I have been experimenting with XBMC and although Mediaportal does seem to be the ultimate front end so far, there are a few things that XBMC has that Mediaportal does not. I was just wondering whether there is any way that I can automatically swap between the two programs automatically via the remote - I know I could just close each program via the remote and then get up and start each one via the mouse but this starts to remove the point of the HTPC. Two ways that this might be done: 1. An XBMC plugin for Mediaportal that allows XBMC to open and Mediaportal to close (and of course a similar addon for XBMC). 2. A way of mapping the Green Mediabutton to the start button on Windows 7 desktop. You could then close any PVR front end and then choose which new program to open from the list. Is either of these possible or is there something more ingenious that might already exist? Thanks [/QUOTE]
