[QUOTE="hallergard, post: 570358, member: 97639"] [b]FirefoxIntegrator without MediaPortal[/b] Last autumn I was googling, searching for virtual mouse capability. I found FirefoxIntegrator and therefore installed MediaPortal. I have no real use for MP as I use the Hauppauge WinTV7 for watching TV, and for music and family videos I prefer my own html menus using Firefox in combination with my default video player (VLC). Anyway I did install MediaPortal to get the FirefoxIntegrator. Am very happy about FFI (even more so after the SMS improvements by Crabstick), which allows me to handle BBC iPlayer and youTube from the TV couch using only the Hauppauge remote control. MediaPortal works fine, but uses 150 MB of RAM, which on my old desktop slows things down. So I tried double clicking on the FirefoxIntegrator.exe and to my surprise it started Firefox with the SMS & mouse capability - without starting MP! However, when exiting Firefox it wanted to start MP. By hacking away most av the script under F_Exit: and F_Minimize: (keeping ExitApp and WinClose Mozilla Firefox) that could be avoided. Starting FFI like this does not consider the MP config instructions, so the initial website argument has to be added on the command line in Irremote.ini. Can have multiple start sites (different buttons) using the same FirefoxIntegrator.exe. To exit I use the Irremote.ini command = h{close(firefox.exe)}. The above is valid for my main partition, Windows XP. Thought I would try this also on the W2K partition, where I don't have MP installed. It works just the same! Hope this helps someone with limited RAM. [/QUOTE]
