snazy2000 342 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Hey Guys I was wondering if this would be possible to allow Media Browser Theater to open other apps for example Steam Big Picture Windows 8 apps such as Netflix, 40d, Channel 5 *Ability to open apps Edited October 12, 2013 by snazy2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yea, I've already got two launchers built - WMC and Kylo. WIth any luck, Rainking720 will help us add a custom launcher, so please send him some words of encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snazy2000 342 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Sounds great Luke! I love the whole project cant wait for Theater to be out for beta! I've loaded it up from Git hub and looks epic! I hope that Rainking720 helps to get that done because it will arrive so much quicker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostm 74 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Just wanted to mention this as well, it would open the door to a realm of possibilities, I for instance would like to be able to launch a web browser (chrome for me) from media browser theater on my htpc, i assume many of us like our htpc's because we can also browse the web on our tv's. Minimizing media browser theater and going through windows desktop to launch it is not an ideal presentation. I sent along encouragement to rainking720 anyway.

ebr 14923 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Those will only work on 8.x, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snazy2000 342 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Ive been working on creating apps for Theater (which are published on the theaters plugin page) I have created plugins to allow the use of Netflix (Metro App) Demand 5 (Metro App) 4oD (Metro App) TVcatchup (Metro App) Steam Big Picture The metro apps are very basic so they don't allow very good remote control interaction which i cannot help untill the creators of the apps allow remote support. All you need is a keyboard and mouse to use them Luke has already created a Web browser app (Kylo) which work every well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Those will only work on 8.x, right? Those that are metro app might should be labeled as Windows 8. Just so there is no confusion about them when someone with a Win7 HTPC tries to install them and they do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need is a keyboard and mouse to use them Luke has already created a Web browser app (Kylo) which work every well. I guess I will try kylo but I would prefer to be able to use my own browser. Currently with xbmc I use a program called advanced launcher and added it to my main menu in my skin, and then when you click on it, it simply launches chrome over top xbmc. I love it then i use this to navigate. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Keyboard-Built-In-Multi-Touch/dp/B005DKZTMG I was hoping something similar would be able to be done in media browser theater, all it would require would be ability to launch the browser from the mbt interface. I use some really good addons from chrome that i assume wont work in kylo in my web browsing. I did a quick search I guess you can install adblock plus at least, but it looks like a difficult process in kylo.

snazy2000 342 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Kylo is not a windows 8 app you need to download it before it can find the program. http://kylo.tv if you install with option Current User it will work I have applied a patch for that but not sure if @Luke has released it yet Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolspot 18 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Ive installed Media Browser Theater and two plugins, the WMC integration plugin and the Netflix plugin, but I'm not seeing how to use them. Are they supposed to show up in the Apps area of MBT? If so, they're not =P I'm using Windows 8.1 with 3.0.5076.21106 of MBT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dosullivan84 1 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hey Guys I was wondering if this would be possible to allow Media Browser Theater to open other apps for example Steam Big Picture Windows 8 apps such as Netflix, 40d, Channel 5 *Ability to open apps This is a long shot I no but is there anychance these will still work for Emby theatre?
