Quote:You must add sources into XBMC to let XBMC addon-program access sources. Related information is into the Advanced Launcher user guide (http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3) :
What I really want for my grandmother to easily open doc file (For reading purpose only) on her HDTV because of the Large Font and pics I design for her.
What she would like is able to choose "*.doc" file form a file list using ONLY her remote up down lest right key, (she don’t get the idea of mouse , so forget it) , then the "*.doc" will be open using MS-word (or any other *.doc viewer if it is more remote or HTPC friendly).
When she finished reading the *.doc file , she can easily press the “close” button on the remote which sent a “Alt+F4” to xbmc that close (Ms word or any other *.doc viewer if it is more remote or HTPC friendly) and back to xbmc “file list” so she can choose other *.doc
Remote she using: VRC1100,

So far , I am failing to accomplishes what’s grandmother , but promis her I will keep trying .
The setup I took so far (any comment are welcome, of if any *.doc viewer addon other there I do not know about )
Steps:
-In Win7, create a folder call “xbmcdoc”
-Inside “xbmcdoc”, I have like 50 *.doc files
-Now, I open xbmc>programs>Advanced Launcher,
-In “Launcher Type” , I choose “File launcher”
-Then input the following
Application : C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe
Arguments : "%rom%"
(I don’t really know what this does actually ?)
Items Extension : doc
(Result is not what I want)
(Any comment are welcome, or, if you know any *.doc viewer addon out there, please tell me.)
