With regards to the shell scenario - I've posted the registry change here - http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... 3633#p3547milli260876 wrote:I'll be interested to find out how the lab filters cope with change to bd protection ... how did you go about the shell scenario? is that similar to media only selection from within MC??
gotta find time for a format meself got an ssd sat in the system dying to be used...
anyone know on a side note if I unplug my os drive start a rebuild I can swap from new(SSD) and old (HDD) os . or will this likely bugger everything up due to mbr ????
could you put explorer.exe and ie.exe in extras then launch them from within MC??dduk wrote: With regards to the shell scenario - I've posted the registry change here - http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... 3633#p3547
I'm afraid I can't comment on bd protection or your mbr question - I've not had any exposure to either of those situations.
I think this is a reported problem with dropping explorer as the shell - a quick google should yield many people reporting the same issue.bbusato wrote:I've replaced Explorer as the shell with Media Center (ehshell.exe) as dduk explained--thanks for the instructions on how to do that--and I really love it, there is nothing running in the background, the htpc boots straight into Media Center, which is a lot faster, and there is no desktop line at the bottom of the screen while switching to blu-ray.
There is one problem I have not been able to fix though: the volume is stuck where it was set before the mod and you cannot change or adjust it with the remote!!! I can do Ctrl+Alt+Del and start up control panel, and then under sounds manually change the volume to what I want. But that's not practical when you are watching a movie.
Does anyone know how to fix this or a work around, I really would like to keep ehshell as the shell.
I've been using v0.31 on my machines and to get it working I just installed then used a different application to tell Lav Filters to bitstream the HD Audio to my AVR. It looks like the new GUI in v0.32 removes the need for the extra application as you can now use the GUI to tell the filters to bitstream the HD Audio.lurch66 wrote:I have been using lav splitter with mpc hc to watch my blu-ray rips and haail for mkv playback in media center. You say you have blu-rays and mkv's playing in media center Nativity. I will have to try this on my newly wiped and re-installed win 7 laptop as I was unable to get it working on my htpc. Please let me know if you did anything different when installing to get this working. WOOOOhoooo. Looks like lav just added a a filter config shortcut. Here is a link to the release notes. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p ... ost1520407
Ok - the settings in the gui are exactly the same as the ones I was accessing via GraphStudio on 0.31. It seems that GraphStudio could access the settings that weren't previously presented.dduk wrote:I've been using v0.31 on my machines and to get it working I just installed then used a different application to tell Lav Filters to bitstream the HD Audio to my AVR.
