Changing Entry point for Media Center

[johnmilk321]

I would like to change the entry point on media center in the application launcher. I only use media center for one thing and it is an annoyance to have to go through several menus to get where I want to be. So my question is, is there an easy way to change the entry point that IMON is using or is it hard coded into the application?

I am sure other options exist somewhere... undocumented

you will find something that has this table in it
Command Behavior
ehshell.exe /directmedia:general Launches MCE in full screen.
ehshell.exe /directmedia:music Launches MCE in full screen and sends the MyMusic command.
ehshell.exe /directmedia:video Launches MCE in full screen and sends the MyVideos command.
ehshell.exe /directmedia:tv Launches MCE in full screen and sends the MyRecordedTv command.
ehshell.exe /directmedia:pictures Launches MCE in full screen and sends the MyPictures command.
ehshell.exe /directmedia:discplayback Launches MCE in full screen and begins playback of the disc by reusing AutoRun code.

it seems to work, for those options, but not sure what you want to do however.
Autoplay can also be used to start Media Centre for specific file types or insert of DVD's

Thanks Jimbo, I actually already have the entry point I need, it is based off the same info you posted, but drops me into an extra rather than the main menu or dvd play. Thanks for the reply!

Dear johnmilk321,

If Media Center is assigned to “Quick Launch Application”, you can directly launch sub menu of Media Center with Music, Videos, Pictures, TV and DVD button on the remote.

Please try to change “Quick Launch Application” in iMON Manager>iMON Utilities>Application Launcher.

Regards,
Johnny Hur
