Thanks Kevin,
but this all seems to me to be to complex for the simple thing I want
to do. I installed a few of your recommended programs and they all seem
to be a sort of overkill for the things I'm planning to do :(
Well they do a lot more than just what you want as lots of people want
different things...
Aren't there more simple alternatives to start a program unsing then
remote?
Not via xAP and xPL I'm afraid - whichever way you will need other apps
to make the logic between the button press and the action - and this
flexibility is possibly required as there will be the inevitable next
question like - how do I quit the application I just started or how do I
select menu option 'whatever' or how do I stop it launching the
application twice. xPL via xPLHAL is the tidiest solution probably of
these two.
This should not be a plugin, because the script should be run
when the SB is powered off.
The SB's don't execute plugins so they can be powered off or on and this
would still work . However the plugin ,which is actually running on
SlimServer would have to be able to launch the app on whatever machine
you desired. Of course if the app runs on the same machine as
Slimserver then you could write a simple Perl plugin for SlimServer
directly.
