For some reason it doesn’t work very well on my Win 7 SP1 Ultimate with XBMC.

When I click the Green button, it launches but not in portable mode even though -p is in the args-file.

You’d have to add that command to the source code and recompile the launcher to have it run before.

Thanks for this program, it’s great. I use it to run XBMC on my HDTV that is connected to my PC’s second GPU output. The only problem I have is that if the TV is not my current monitor, i need it to switch to that monitor with the command:

“C:\Windows\System32\Displayswith.exe /external”

Is there any way I can get this command to run before your launcher loads XBMC?

Thanks.

pardon me, friend. I check it again, read the comments and enlightenment comes). Drawing maximum values for band really gives much smoother view!

Hi!
Very useful lib, must say! As a beginner I’m reading through sources just for learning to write nice code like good programmers do. I’m also searching for approach to make static spectrogram control.
There is one thing I didn’t quite understand in the UpdateSpectrumShapes() method of SpectrumAnalyzer class (correct me if I’m wrong). You are running this cycle:
for (int i = minimumFrequencyIndex; i <= maximumFrequencyIndex; i++)
{ …. }
which is in my case 1857 runs (for 44100 sample rate) with some calculations on each iteration, when seems like you only need to do it for each item of int[] barIndexMax array (i.e. for each spectrum analyzer band).
I have tried to change code like this:
for (int i = minimumFrequencyIndex; i <= maximumFrequencyIndex; i++)
{
int currentIndex = IsFrequencyScaleLinear ? barIndexMax[barIndex] : barLogScaleIndexMax[barIndex];
if (i != currentIndex) continue;
…
}
…and it works=).
Or maybe there is a reason to take all frequencies band in foreach…

Hi There,

Thanks a million… I struggled a couple of days to find an easy solution to have XBMC launched through the ‘green’ button of my remote and there it is !!

Although I needed to perform a workaround on it… when I pressed the green button it launched Wmplayer and not the Media Center, don’t know why because Windows Media Player is installed on my Windows 7. So, instead of replacing the ehshell.exe under Windows\ehome I placed your ehshell.exe in Windows\Program Files\Windows Media Player\ and renamed it to wmplayer.exe and it works like a charm !!

Thanks again… great stuff !
