Launch Sage Client from SageTV? And another question.
I am going to stop using Meedio and move to a full Sage implementation on one of my clients. I was wondering though, if there was a way to launch Sage Client from the SageTV interface (I am using both Sage client and SageTV on this box)? I am using Cayars and girder. I can launch Sage Client via Girder, but I would like the end user to be able to click on a menu entry in SageTV instead (its easier for them).
On an entirely unrelated issue, how do you launch a batch file minimized from the task scheduler? I have an batchfile that checks if theres a new EPG XML on my server and copies it over. It runs from task scheduler when the box is idle but it keeps poping up and takes focus as well as blocks a big piece of my TV. Is there anyway to tell Windows to run this batch minimized? Thanks! |

Start programs from Cayars STV (which uses my dynamic menu plugin): Right click in a menu; add menu item; external program ... Save the settings once complete.
start batch files minimised from task scheduler is tricky I have found... cmd.exe /c "start /min cmd /c c:\temp\test.bat" will flash up a cmd window which then disappears and creates a minimised window... to avoid this I used a program called runhide: http://www.extendingflash.com/utilities/runhide.html This completely hides the command prompt window... To get a minimised window do: C:\path\to\runhide.exe cmd.exe /c "start /min cmd /c c:\temp\test.bat"

OK, why are you launching SageTV from SageTV (which is essentially what you're doing)?

. Well, I need this box to have a seperate recording library from my main SageTV server. However I also need it to be able to playback recordings from the server. So I run both SageTV and Sage Client on this box. I use (for another 30 minutes till I smooth this out) Meedio to launch both. Without Meedio.. well you understand. I could just map a remote key to launch Sage Client but, to make the transisiton easier to the people who use this client, I would rather have a clear menu item that says: choose this to access the server's recordings .
