RTFM? I would like to add additional programs/apps to HS

[HardRom]

Has anyone tried to get things like SiriusXm (Canada) to work as a launcher?  Currently, I have a pinned tab in Chrome that autologs-in- but I wouldn't want all my other tabs to open (treat it like a dedicated session).  Exitting chrome would also be interestingly accomplished.

 

Steam and Kodi don't really seem to work with my setup for some reason, either.  Steam Big Picture _will_ load, some days.  It takes it's sweet time (up to 20 minutes, when I forgot I launched it and am doing something completely different).  Kodi? Nope.

I've been mucking about and trying to find where I went wrong, but seem to have something set wrong in my settings.

 

TLDR; want a dedicated browser session for SiriusXm, looking for more things and ideas to make this an AIO cabinet.  A whole entertainment system center, if you will.

Feel free to reply if you know a better way, or if this worked for you.

 

• I found a workaround way to do this- goto (website) in chrome, Settings-More Tools-Add To Desktop.
• Choose open as window.
• Open the [Properties] on the new desktop shortcut.
• In the RUN box, copy the input from the TARGET box.
• Create a new .bat file called whatever you want, and paste the data from the target box in the last step. Save the <yournamechoicehere>.bat (SiriusXm.bat) file and run it to test. If it works, you can delete the Chrome-saved "app" on your desktop.
• Add the .bat file to RocketLauncher as a new system.

Create a file called SiriusXm.xml, copy the SPOILER text below and put it in the folder you also have to create (SiriusXM) in \HyperSpin\Databases\:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<menu>

    <header>

        <listname>SiriusXm</listname>

        <lastlistupdate>05/14/16</lastlistupdate>

        <listversion>Online</listversion>

        <exporterversion>HyperList XML Exporter Version 1.3 Copywrite © 2009-2011 William Strong</exporterversion>

    </header>

 

Again, create a file called SiriusXm.ahk, copy the below text and make a folder to put it in \RocketLauncher\Modules\SiriusXm\:

Finally, set these HyperHQ Settings:

Execution: Normal

PC Game: Enabled

Executable: <WhereverYouSavedThe.Bat>SiriusXm.bat

** I stored the SiriusXm.bat in the root of HyperSpin.

WinState: Hidden

 

Launch HyperSpin and it should work.  Mine does!  W00t!
