Title: Adding Game applications
Post by: archived on April 08, 2006, 12:38:41 AM
Hello,
 I'd like to add in the capabilities to run start games from the orbiter on my front end media director?  I have quite a few.  How do I add a button similar to Movies which loads a screen where you can key in the title you are looking for?  Basically these could be put in the computing/applications area, but they are really a form of media, plus the applications area would just get too big.

 If this is documented somewhere's.. I missed it.

Bill

we support adding new applications, but at this time you need to know a bit of linux, since you need to install the app by yourself.
then you need to go to media directors page from pluto-admin web site and add the application to computing screen.
there you'll need to provide the path the app.

Will that give me the movies type of screen where I can enter in the title I'm looking for?

if you want to search for a title in the whole collection of movies you need to go to movies, and press search.

I was asking to have the TYPE of screen that is available for seeing the collection of movies.
