4.61 - External App problem

[zolakk]

I had an external app (Beyond TV) set up that worked fine in the older versions, but it seems in 4.61, it is ignoring the Map Keys setting. When I hit escape, it drops back to GameEx instead of going back to the main menu. I did not change my config file in any way between upgrading and running the program either.

On a side note, tom, it would be nice to have a tv option in the main menu eventually; i'm sure i'm not the only one with it setup with some kind of PVR software as well. Maybe even just have the option to show the app in external apps slot 1 on the main menu or something. Just a thought. All that aside, I just love the program and you are doing great things with it. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, with GameEx taking on HTPC functions, I think getting more customization over the menuing is becoming more important.

If I were using it as my primary HTPC app, I'd probably want my main menu to look something like:

[ Watch TV ]

[ Watch a recording ]

[ Set up recordings ]

[ Play a game ]

--- [ Arcade Games ]

--- [ SNES Games ]

--- [ ... etc ... ]

[ Control the lights ]

[ Change the thermostat ]

[ News ]

[ Browse the web ]

I don't like having to break off my frequently used tasks into a "more programs" type of category. Media Center is guilty of this too. Lots of crap on the main menu that I don't want, and I want GameEx to be "My Games" right on the main list, not some minor feature under "More programs".

Can you post \data\runitgame.bat after running Beyond TV.

Here it is:

c:

CD "c:\program files\snapstream media\beyond tv 3"

BTVD3DShell.exe

Thanks, I found the bug. Will be fixed in next release.
