Hi there,
new to WMC and EPG and still fighting my way thru various minor niggles.
Because I use a single channel DVBS tuner and EPG Collector, I need to shut down WMC to allow the EPG collector to run.
Having problems restarting WMC properly. Ideally I'd like to restart in live TV mode and full screen. Seems I can do either but not both.
This line terminates in an error:
cd \windows\ehome>ehshell.exe "/mcesuperbar://tv?live=true"
This line goes to Recorded TV, and full screen:
start ehshell.exe /nostartupanimation /directmedia:tv /PushStartPage:True
This line almost works:
cd \windows\ehome
start ehshell.exe /nostartupanimation /homepage:VideoFullscreen.xml /PushStartPage:True
And I think I need to sort out how to run the BAT's as Administrator in the scheduler without requiring intervention.
Command line options to start WMC Live and Fullscreen?

Have you tried any of these commands yet? http://www.hack7mc.com/2009/05/media-ce ... tches.html

Yes, I found those commands from a MS site. However, I did find the commands I was using revert WMC to the state it was in when the service is stopped. So I can kill and restart properly as long as when I kill WMC it is in full screen mode.
This is what I use:
cd \windows\ehome
taskkill /im ehshell.exe
c:
cd "\Program Files (x86)\Geekzone\EPG Collector"
EPGCollector.exe /ini="C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Geekzone\EPG Collector\EPG Collector.ini"
cd \windows\ehome
start ehshell.exe /nostartupanimation /homepage:VideoFullscreen.xml /PushStartPage:True
This is what I use:
cd \windows\ehome
taskkill /im ehshell.exe
c:
cd "\Program Files (x86)\Geekzone\EPG Collector"
EPGCollector.exe /ini="C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Geekzone\EPG Collector\EPG Collector.ini"
cd \windows\ehome
start ehshell.exe /nostartupanimation /homepage:VideoFullscreen.xml /PushStartPage:True

Realizing this thread is old, it is still a high result on Google when I was searching how to start WMC in Live TV Fullscreen mode.
Here is my solution: %windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe /nostartupanimation /noshutdownu /directmedia:general /mcesuperbar://tv?live=true

Opened up WMC in full screen but didn't start live for me. Did I copy this correctly?
Code: Select all
%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe /nostartupanimation /noshutdownu /directmedia:general /mcesuperbar://tv?live=true
