Thanks for the report. I just rebuilt it so you can download it now.

Thanks for updating the link! I got it all setup last night and even in this dev state it's the best TV launcher for HTPCs no contest. With this my HTPC UX is one step closer to parity with a smart TV . Honestly you should call it a beta build as is and post it to Reddit like you did Flex launcher. I did run into a few quirks during setup and use which I can create separate bugs for if you want or just mention here:

• [Bug] The command fields don't work well if there are additional quotes past the path to the executable being called, like for launching YouTube TV via a user agent change. I got around this by putting the command chrome.exe --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (PS4; Leanback Shell) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0 LeanbackShell/01.00.01.75 Sony PS4/ (PS4, , no, CH)" --start-fullscreen youtube.com/tv in a VBS script file instead and calling that (used VBS over bat so I could launch it without a terminal popping up.
• [Bug] VERY high GPU usage when in focus. On two different Windows PC's this seems to fluctuate between 15 and 100% GPU usage, with usage increasing over time. I tried to set it to a more power optimal mode in both Nvidia control panel and Windows settings but neither seems to be a full solution. This can be a huge problem if the TV is left on the UI for too long, or in many HTPCs cases the TV is off but the HTPC is on and big launcher is in focus despite there being no "monitor".
• [Bug] Sometimes when exiting a launched app, big launcher is not in focus despite being in the forefront and the direction keys cannot be used. Can be fixed by alt-tabbing in and out.
• [Feature] Launching apps straight into fullscreen mode. While this can be done with Chrome via the --start-fullscreen flag, it doesn't work with Edge (which is required for 4K surround streaming from some services), MS store apps, or executables. There is an AutoHotKey script called Feleven which sends the fullscreen command after it confirms that it is open and not already fullscreen that I use to launch Edge and Windows Store apps into fullscreen on launch, although you have to modify the script after line 41 to also send SendInput #+{Enter} ; SendInput Win+Shift+Enter to maximize Windows Store apps. This would be a nice feature to have although it's possible to get this functionality otherwise.
• [Feature] Transparent backgrounds, like is available with Flex Launcher.

Thanks for all your hard work!

I'm glad to hear you were able to get it working. I only recently added Windows support to the program, so I have done very little testing on the Windows version. Your report helps a lot and I will look into the issues that you have found.
