channels, defined favorites, scheduled recordings,
device information.
Note: Removal of this data happens without further
confirmation.
WinTV10.exe -multi
-
Opens another instance of WinTV10. To explain: If
WinTV10 is already running, and you double-click
on the WinTV10 icon again, normally the already
running program is just brought into foreground.
But if WinTV8.exe is run with the parameter "-
multi", another WinTV10 window is opened. So
you could watch live TV in one window and play a
recording in a second window. On a dual tuner
product you can watch live TV in two WinTV10
windows.
WinTV10.exe -recordings
Open
Recordings
(only)
Only opens the Recordings tab of the scheduler.
WinTV10.exe -scheduler
Open
Scheduler
(only)
Only opens the Scheduler tab of the scheduler.
It is recommended to create a new WinTV10 icon and add the command line parameter under its
properties. Following an example with the parameter "-multi":
1. Create a copy of the WinTV10-Icon on your desktop, by selecting the icon and pressing
<Ctrl> C ("Copy"), and then <Ctrl> V ("Paste").
2. Right-click on the new icon and select "Properties" from the context menu.
3. Select the "Shortcut" tab. In the "Target:" field, after the program call add a space, and
then the parameter, like this:
"C:\Program Files\WinTV\WinTV10\WinTV10.exe" -multi
Now, each time you double click on the new icon, a new WinTV10 window will be opened.
