QDivision 39 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hi, I've looked through this forum for mentions of program launcher for emby theatre. I know you had a plugin for the old version. Is there any plans for this feature on the new version? Thanks! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitmore 781 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 +1 for a program launcher. This would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter 10 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I think this would be an awesome idea. It could replace the need for many plug-ins. Netflix, YouTube, GameBrowser and lots of others. This is how I currently have it setup through the old Theater. It launches Chrome in -kiosk mode so it acts just like a regular program. Very easy for the wife and kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37008 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 This feature was a community add-on in the old Media Browser Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSteve84 14 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 We desperately need apps/plugins like these for me personally I want to be able to launch steam big picture mode but I no for others, being able to launch these apps will be a really big thing, I only wish I had the talent to be able to do them myself.

MEB 26 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I would like the ability to launch certain programs when starting media and kill them when stopping. I use screenbloom to change the hue lights behind my TV but there is no easy way to start and stop the app with a harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37008 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The program launcher in media browser theater was a community add-on. Hopefully there is someone who might like to help do the same for emby theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSteve84 14 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The program launcher in media browser theater was a community add-on. Hopefully there is someone who might like to help do the same for emby theater.Is there much difference in the make up of a media browser plugin to a emby theatre plugin? Like would there be alot of work involved in porting that launcher for Emby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes it's all new development. However, this time around it's javascript instead of c# so it's easier than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosullivan84 1 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) There has to be some one out there that has the ability to do this or at the very least explain how so someone can pick this up Edited March 7, 2017 by dosullivan84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybbs 24 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I cant share my code because emby theater is web hosted online and not open source atm , my test machine have node installed and luke gave me access to the code to modify it It's not simple to release it and give you access to it sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter 10 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I ended up just installing Kodi and using the Emby add-on for it. It has a huge plug-in repository with game launchers, program launchers and tons of other plug-ins. I tried waiting for Theater to at least implement a program launcher so I could have the same functionality as the original, but not much has been done with plug-in support. Also, I could never really get my emulators working properly like in the old Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docmagic 2 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 +1 for this, would love to be able to launch Steam big picture from Emby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkbone 38 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 +1 for this too. I would like to launch Chrome in kiosk mode just like the kodi add on. I also want to get away from kodi. nothing against kodi, just want to use all emby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
