Question

2008-06-28, 17:57

How about adding native supports to launch third-party executables to XBMC for Linux, Mac, and Windows from XBMC's "Programs" section?

Similar to the Xbox, the big difference being that on Linux, Mac, and Windows, the user should have the option to choose if launching that executable closes XBMC or keep XBMC running in the background.

I for one would like to see this focusing on games and emulators, but really any application should be launchable from XBMC programs menu.

Ideas, comments?

Huh
