Another new version 0.2.6 is available:

http://rapidshare.com/files/113573965/MC_Menu_Mender_0.2.6.msi

Changes are:

• Improved handling of 3rd party links on built-in menu strips. Now handles situations where multiple 3rd party links are assigned to a single strip.
• Now always saves to ehres.dll again - not saving was causing problems with certain registry changes.

This should resolve problems people have been having with Quiiq projector.

Hi there,
i installed the latest version, and still got error when saving.
The only thing i tried was changing a name.
Here is my log file:

I only upgraded to VMC at the weekend. I've managed to solve all my problems so far and this app is just the icing on the cake. What you want, where you want. Champion!

Where did the "sports" strip come from? Is there another app that adds this kind of thing or is this another States only thing? It looks a bit like the movie guide that is only enabled if you live in the States (or apply the reg hack). Is this the case? I'm in the UK by the way hence the reg hack for movie guide.

 I gotta say a HUGE MASSIVE thank you for finally doing what microsoft SHOULD have included from the begining. I really cant thank you enough for making this plugin. It is simply one of the best plugins for media center this year as far as I am concerned.


THANKS A MILLION and keep up the good work. Its almost perfect.

Hi there,
i installed the latest version, and still got error when saving.
The only thing i tried was changing a name.
Here is my log file:


http://www.fotokuyer.nl/log-mender.txt

Hi, Advent.
My problem is still there.
I send you the log, but from there i did not here anything yet.
My system is: Vista Ultimate, language is Dutch.

I see so many people, where the program works.
What is wrong on my site?
Has it to do with the sport srip, that is normaly not in my Media Center?

Advent:

Version 0.3 is ready for download. There are a couple of new features in this release that required some changes to some of the fundamental code, so forgive me if i've reintroduced a few bugs. Here's the link:

http://rapidshare.com/files/11747252...Mender_0.3.msi

The changes are:

• (Hopefully) Fixed the bug that was stopping people with non-english versions of Vista from saving.
• Added the ability to add new entry points and edit existing ones. Adding new entry points only requires that you enter a title, path, arguments and an image - the app is (optionally) automatically wrapped so that it behaves well with Media Center.
• Added the ability to add game entry points. This is a simplified version of creating new entry points which only requires you to select a game - the rest is automatically configured. The selection of games is the same as that available from Vista Games Explorer. After they are created, game entry points are edited the same way as normal entry points.
• Added the ability to delete existing entry points.
• Several other minor UI tweaks.

As always, you use this at your own risk - I take no responsibility for any consequences of using it (unless they're good).

 

Harmony, hopefully this will fix your problem.

 

And yes, the sports strip is US only :(

Hi there,

Firstly, thank you @Advent for such a vital application. I can install other MCE apps with confidence now, knowing I can move them where ever I please!

I have been using a number of versions of MCE Mender and noticed the improved control it gives me. I'm currently using v0.3, but I had one niggle with one particular MCE app.

I use WebMedia (which is available to download from mcesoft.nl). I installed this using minimal strip configuration. i..e it only installed itself to the Music strip, but I can't seem to move it.

I've tried all the 'tricks', of attempting to sync the MC Menu Mender look to my MCE's look and then trying moving it, but it does not seem to take effect.

MC Menu Mender Saves and Exits okay, but going into MCE still shows the app still under the Music strip. When I go back into MC Menu Mender, the WebMedia Entry point still exists but is out of sync with MCE by not showing it in the Music strip.

I expect this is a similar issue related to Quuiq app which other users have experienced.

If you could look into this problem, it would be much appreicated.

Just out of interest... Would any of MC Menu Mender changes require a re-boot ? You mentioned for some cases you're changing DLL's so I thought may be a re-boot would help ?

Keep up the great work!

 

Thanks

darkknight, please upload a support package and I will have a look at it as soon as I have the time. No Menu Mender changes require a reboot, especially the one you're talking about as it should only be a registry change.

For the non-english Vista users, progress is being made on the problem - but it is very slow, as I can't seem to replicate the problem myself.
