[QUOTE="quake74, post: 102479, member: 17753"] Hi all! I'm using MediaPortal Version 0.2.2.0 but I have issues with mp4 subtitles. For this reason, and many others, I'd like to use VLC to play certain files. Since most of the files are fine, I messed around the "My Programs" plugin, but lauching VLC thorugh that doesn't work: on the screen I still see the browsed directory, I can hear the audio of the file being played and the remote does not control either MP or VLC. So I came up with a hacked solution by calling a bat file which shuts down MP and starts VLC: [CODE] taskkill /F /IM Mediaportal.exe "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\VLC.exe" "%~f1" taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe explorer.exe [/CODE] I have to restart explorer because killing MP makes the task bar disappear. Is there a more "elegant" solution? Do you know why the VLC video is hidden behind MP? [/QUOTE]
