Command Line Calls
Home  Previous  Next

You can launch Beyond TV 3.5 and the Beyond TV ViewScape once it is running by using command line calls and batch files. This feature is especially useful when programming remote control buttons to launch Beyond TV. Once you have launched Beyond TV using a command line call, the Beyond TV icon will always remain in your system tray indicating that the application is running in the background regardless of whether or not the Beyond TV ViewScape is running.
