Some shortcuts are not working

I have tried to use shortcuts like "/playfavslideshowwithmusic" with ehshell.exe.
That doesn't work anymore. Is that feature gone?
Thanks for an information.

It should still work but I think you need to include /mcesuperbar as well.

EDIT: No, you don't. At least not in Win7... I'll check my Win10/11 version.

Well, it looks like those command line switches were removed in Win8 WMC which is what the Win10/11 versions are based off of. The work on Win7 but I just tried them on a Win8.1 and didn't work. I just haven't seen in the code where/how they were disabled.

Try "ehshell /mcesuperbar://photos?haslocalmusic=true"

Actually, a more accurate command line is "ehshell /mcesuperbar://photos?isplayfavorites=true&haslocalmusic=true"

Interesting. Very good to know. It's working with "mcesuperbar". Thanks a lot.
