<DIV class=Ih2E3d>> I leave the frontend running and I added an item to
the main menu to<BR>> launch boxee. Select it and use boxee normally
with my remote and exit<BR>> when I'm done - then I'm back in the
frontend. Even my 11 year old can<BR>> do it. :)<BR>By the way, I
figured out how to do that by going here:<BR><A
href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Menu_theme_development_guide"
target=_blank>http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Menu_theme_development_guide</A><BR><BR>So
I added this to mainmenu.xml:<BR> <button><BR>
<type>TV_WATCH_RECORDINGS</type><BR>
<text>Launch Boxee</text><BR>
<action>EXEC
/opt/boxee/run-boxee-desktop</action><BR>
</button></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>Wow - thanks. That was easy!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And - without me doing anything special to set it up - boxee understood
my Microsoft MCE remote and happily worked with it, and exit took me
straight back to Myth. Boxee is really slick - love that user
interface, and now being embedded into myth and working with the remote -
it's almost like it's part of the same
package! </DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV>
