e27 7 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Is it possible to have a Hulu App for Theater like all the other apps in theater, where if it is installed on your computer it can be launched from theater. Thanks.

techywarrior 689 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I think a cooler idea would be a plugin that allowed you to create a link to any program. I think it would just need the user to supply the link to the executable and maybe have the ability to upload an image to display for it in MBT, and of course a title. That way developers won't have to individually make launcher apps for every program people want. 2
Luke 38980 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 yes that's a good idea, but a lot of people don't realize it. seeing netflix in the catalog gift wraps it for them, they see it and think "oh, netflix!". but we should still have a customizable launcher though. 2
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Could still put apps in the catalog. However instead of compiled plugins, it could be an XML file that points to an image that can be downloaded, app description and common installation directory for the OS. The end user would be able to update the path to the executable if needed.
snazy2000 344 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I got idea how could do that might take look tommorow .Luke is there any wikis on doing things with settings in MBT. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Luke 38980 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 no. you can use the internal video player settings page as an example
snazy2000 344 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Ok thanks Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
snazy2000 344 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Ive spent few days creating this application here is the details page http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/3822-program-launcher-plugin-mbt/
pmac 141 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 @@snazy2000, could your plugin also be used to get PC games to work in MBT? That's a feature I miss from MBC
snazy2000 344 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I dont see why not as long as you go to the EXE it should just launch it.
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) It can run any executable program so games should work. Maybe they can use this to update GameBrowser so it works there as well. Edited January 13, 2014 by Wayne Luke 1

I was hoping that GameBrowser could look at this app, and try to get some of the same functionality in their own plugin
