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.

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 !

Is it a requirement that Windows Media Center is installed in Windows 7? Mine isn’t installed and while the XBMCLauncher.exe does launch XBMC, using the green button doesn’t.

Thanks!

Works flawlessly with the installer. Thanks so much for this, I was quite tired of hitting that button by accident and having to struggle to shut down that bloated program.

I can’t seem to get it to work, installed twice now, and restarted, nothing.
