Is there a way to open the program without opening my web browser? #11

I plan on using my phone to control the Web UI. As a result, I do not need my PC browser to open up whenever I load the program. Is it possible? Thanks! - Cory

Yep! You can launch it with XArcade XInput.exe --skip-ui.

Thanks! You rock! .. and this program is great. Was able to get it set up to play Streets of Rage 4 on a 4-player cabinet.

Sorry for all the questions. Is there a list anywhere of other flags or commands that are available. Specifically, I'm interested in launching the program without it being in an "enabled" state. Additionally, I was wondering if it is possible to enable/disable via command-line or load a specific mapping via command-line. Thanks! - Cory

This is the closest thing to a list of all flags available: https://github.com/mikew/xarcade-xinput/blob/c18b7b5881733cb9f1e57295c94b65f1c645a830/XArcade%20XInput/Program.cs#L12-L22

There's no way to start it disabled, but that's a great idea.

And since it's backed by a rest server, it's all possible from a command line. I should really add it to the readme.

Here's enabling / disabling: https://github.com/mikew/xarcade-xinput/issues/10#issuecomment-452343222

Changing mappings is also possible in a similar manor, off the top of my head I think it would be:

Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri http://localhost:32123/api/keyboard/mapping/current -Body "Mapping Name As Appears In The Web UI"

Worked great! Thanks!

Great! I've created an issue about the ability to start in a disabled state here https://github.com/mikew/xarcade-xinput/issues/12.
