Custom Entry Point?

[Sturmie 1]

When MB3 was first released, I was told that custom entry points within Windows Media Center were no longer supported (for example, a menu strip icon that goes directly to "Movies")...is this still the case?

Correct. You can't have custom entry points to a specific collection like you could do in MB2

Correct. Not officially. Someone did make a work around and it may work, but it is unofficial. Hopefully that will work for you though.

Thanks for the quick replies...I might give that workaround a shot here soon.

 

Btw, I added a collection called "Kids Shows" on all 3 of my MCE PCs and I was able to modify the MCE interface within Media Center Studio where the "Kids Shows" entry point appeared, however, on one of the MCE PCs, I can't get "Kids Shows" to show up as an entry point option...even though I have "Kids Shows" set up in MB2 and pointed to "V:\Kids Shows" just like the others.  I tried rebooting and still no entry point...is there any way to force a "refresh" of those so that I can customize things within Media Center Studio?  Just curious.
