Then run whatever you need, then have the final step of the batch file reopen GB-PVR. I can post examples if you'd like.I did actually do exactly that to call Hulu Desktop from the GB-PVR menu. However that method wouldn't really work with McBain's Programs plugin, so my point stands that I didn't use it before because I had to use VMR9 FSE, but would like to use it now that I've moved on the NPVR with EVR, and in fact now have no way at all to launch external apps. Well, that isn't entirely true either, since I have been planning to have EventGhost call Hulu Desktop when I press a particular button on the remote. However I'd rather have a menu entry for it.
further comment: that all being said, if sub adds External Task support any time soon that will be enough to satisfy my immediate needs so maybe Programs doesn't merit first attention from McBainUK... many of his other plugins do things sub certainly isn't going to add to NPVR at all. I thought ICL was really neat, but rarely actually used it; now I have Flixster on my Palm Pre+ which is even more convenient.
