Any replies....
Is anyone using SlingPlayer with the carpc? If so, do you have it embedded in RR or using it as stand-alone app?
Thanks for your comments...
SlingPlayer Update (10/15/10)
Update/Change/Fix
New SlingPlayer Skin (setup for DFX 4 or 5 but can be used with other skins as well)
Changed/Fixed Remote Buttons
Display Time
Display Date
Minimize SlingPlayer Button
I have updated the SlingPlayer skin to match DFX but it can be used with other skins as well. I have also updated the "Remote" buttons as well. The buttons stop working so I had to change a few commands (Thanks to Mitch for his help).
Instructions
1. Make sure Slingplayer is setup to the default directory. Sling.exe will launch SlingPlayer and after 30 seconds will put the window in "Video Only" (no frame) and "Control" mode (quicker remote response) automatically.
2. Make sure that your account is set to login automatically and you have run all updates.
3. Place the Sling.exe file in default SlingPlayer directory
4. Place the Skin and .png files in your /skinpath
5. Setup a button for SlingPlayer (e.g. load;sling.skin;RUN;C:\Program Files\Sling Media\SlingPlayer\Sling.exe;SlingPlayer)
NOTE: Window Name (SlingPlayer) can be different for your setup. Mine is set to "SlingPlayer - Navputer". So, when you setup your buttons, be sure to use the full window name (e.g. "ACTIVATE;SLINGPLAYER - Navputer||SENDKEY;^+{p}",""). This allows RR to activate that specific window; using only Slingplayer name may cause the remote not to work properly.
Here are the remote button commands...
Rewind symbol = Rewind
Fast Forward symbol = Fast Forward
Window Symbol = Video Mode Only (frame only)
Gui = Show Program Guide
List = SlingPlayer Options
Exit = Close selection
Select = Enter key/select
Up Arrow = cursor up
Left ArroW = Left cursor
Right Arrow = Right cursor
Down Arrow = Down cursor
Pg Up = Page Up
Menu = Remote Main Menu
Info = Display Info
Pg Down = Page Down
Setup = Slingbox Directory
Prev = Control Mode (quicker response for remote)
Clear = Disconnect from Slingbox
Enter = Enter key/Select
Numbers 0-9 = Number press
Channel - = Channel down
Channel + = Channel Up
Remote = Bring up Remote
Power = Power on/off Slingbox
Enjoy!

I use it as an external app in streetdeck and it automatically closes and opens streetdeck. Would probably work the same on RR.
I think I did try to embed when working with RR a few months back and the problem was the auto remote on slingplayer. Controlling it in a smaller window was a bear. Think using the ext. app. is probably the best option.
I have slingplayer but I use it outside of RR I have no idea how to begin to embed it but it sure would be nice to have it inside RR.
It sucks right now because I have to switch back to RR before switching of my ignition so it goes in to hibernate if it were intergrated i could just turn the car off
Any takers on making this happen?
This is a great program and will be a nice add in RR. I spoke to Guino and right now slingmedia does not have a SDK out so, he wants to see if one will come out before looking at it as an option in the TV section of RR.
Hurry up slingmedia.... or any one want to give this a shot?![]()

Yeah, I already saw that thread and it does not work correctly. I got it working but pulling up Slingplayer that way is very slooooooow. Has to be better way than using skinbedder.
The window class is the issue since it grabs and holds the remote window on top.
Hopefully a SDK will be out soon.

Someone posted a slingplayer plugin using VLC here...http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=189342
It works fine but the beta2 file doesn't work(slow) and it has the buttons to change the channels. Hopefully, someone who is good with programming can make this work. This a big step forward. Also, check out the other downloads.

ohhh can not wait for this to be cleaned up
Has anyone got the Beta2 file working with Slingplayer? I got Beta1 file working fine. However, there are no buttons to change the channels.
