Switching between MCE / 7MC and XBMC - anyone doing this?

Post by Livin »

IÔÇÖm using XBMC for media playback and 7MC for Live TV & PVR. My goal is to seamlessly switch between 7MC <-> XBMC

There is a 7MC plugin that adds a menu item to launch XBMC so that may handle going from 7MC to XBMC.

Id like to put menu shortcuts on XBMC to directly open 7MC to specific locations Live TV, Recorded TV, etc. I think this can be accomplished with command lines getting executed... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb189052.aspx

Anyone doing anything like this within these apps or inside EG?
setup... XBMC, W7MC for DVR & Live OTA TV, JRMC for multi-zone audio, EG, MiCasaVerde Vera3, USB-UIRT IR receiver, Harmony remote, 5.2 home theater system

I use Media Centre Studio http://www.adventmediacenter.com/ to add links for external apps into Windows 7 Media Centre... (run games such as Grid and Pro Evo 2009 from Win7MCE)

It installs straight from the sight, and editing the menus is reasonably straight forward.

Dont know if it helps, but might do the job

I've had some bad experience with that app... just very inconsistent if/when it works. I'll try it again and let you know :)
