Help with Custom Netflix Button

[nathagt]

Curious if someone more familiar with such things can see where I'm going wrong. I'm creating a different button for the Netflix app (using MCE Reset Toolbox... hiding the default one). It lets me specify a path and arguments. I'm using:

Path: C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe

Arguments: -launchcoded:{e6f46126-f8a9-4a97-9159-b70b07890112}\{982ea9d3-915c-4713-a3c8-99a4688b7c59}

The above works, but the problem is it relaunches Media Center and when it does so MC is no longer full screen. So what I'm trying to figure out is how can I get it to only act on the arguments since Media Center is already running. I've also tried using "entrypoint" instead of "launchcoded" but that cashes MC to crash.

Preemptive strike - I do not need a shortcut on the desktop to launch directly into Netflix, I already know how to do that as it's well documented online. I want to recreate the netflix button.

Well I asked the developer of MCE Reset Toolbox if there was a way to do this and he updated the software to accommodate! So if anyone else is interested in developing their own icons for Media Center I would have to recommend this software. He has most of the default entrypoints recreated in the software. For netflix, you would create a custom application and use the following:

Path: C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe

Arguments: -launchcoded:{e6f46126-f8a9-4a97-9159-b70b07890112}\{982ea9d3-915c-4713-a3c8-99a4688b7c59}

Thanks - I've been looking to customize the 'inactive' Netflix icon for a long time; the default is just a blue tinted version of whatever the active icon is. Mikinho said he had a tool that exposed the Netflix tile as a regular plugin and would release it, which would have allowed for that; but he never released it :/

This should be able to do the trick - thanks again for posting this
