Program/Script Request: Something Which Will Launch Programs
#1
Hey guys, I'm hoping this will be a rather simple task for some of you who are versed in programming languages. I've started playing around with using Kodi as a gaming front end by tricking it into recognizing ROMs as movie files and emulators as "external video players." This works great for those games, but because of the need for an "External Video Player" I can't get it to work for Steam games, PC executables, etc.  Could somebody make what is essentially a dummy emulator that receives a .exe and/or .bat file from Kodi and simply runs it? Just to serve as a go-between?

Edit: Figured it out. All I had to do was create a .bat file where the only content is %1 works like a charm.

Cool, closing thread since you seem to have figured it out yourself.
