Marc_G 95 Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Hi folks, I'm eagerly awaiting the public beta of MBT... using Classic for now. MBT looks like it will solve all manner of issues but I've got one concern: WAF (wife acceptance factor). We currently use WMC for everything: live TV, recorded TV, Netflix, and all the Media Browser content. I understand MBT is completely new technology, not dependent on WMC... but would it be possible to add a tile in the WMC environment that calls up the separate MBT interface? That way, we could continue to use WMC just like we do... and I wouldn't have to retrain the wife that "different things are in different spots." Thoughts? Keep up the good work! Marc
all4dom 101 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I think, but m not sure they may have some type of shortcut. Safe to say they will have something to enjoy both live/recorded tv & mbt.
Steven 158 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 There is an add on for MBT that adds a link to open WMC but unfortunately there isn't a way to return to MBT as far as I'm aware.
Lee 212 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 http://www.hack7mc.com/2009/03/creating-new-start-menu-strips.html you could do this....
all4dom 101 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I'm sire once there is an official release it will be available.
Steven 158 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 you could do this.... You could but not very end user friendly. It would be better if a link was created in WMC when installing the app in MBT, and removed when uninstalled.
Luke 42077 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 no need to be part of the core mbt download, and i won't be working on it personally, but we've got a community of contributors so hopefully someone can step up.
Steven 158 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 But you've already made the app to link to WMC, how much work is it for that to create a link in WMC when it's installed?
Luke 42077 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I think I'm doing enough. Someone else can take that. 2
Steven 158 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 You definitely are. Sorry, I didn't mean that.
cybrsage 4 Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 A link inside WMC would be great, since MB2.6 (I know MBT is completely different - but that is what many people will use to contrast and compare) has a WMC link. The return to WMC link in MBT already exists to get the user back (though the green button on the remote would also work), so half the work is already done.
