I am not sure if there is a way to launch CasaTunes from mControl. However, you can specify a specific zone for CasaTunes to launch to on startup by appending the ID of the zone to the URL. For example, to have CasaTunes start on the first zone, you would set the URL as follows:
http://CasaServer/CasaTunes?zone=0
Please note ZoneID’s start at 0, and CasaServer is the name of your CasaTunes Music Server.
On the other hand CasaTunes can launch mControl from the ‘View By Room’ page. To do this you will need to change several Web Application Settings using Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) manager application.
1. To start IIS manager type IIS in the Start search box, and select Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager from the list of found items
1. Select the CasaTunes application in IIS, by navigating the contents in the left hand pane: Your Machine Name ->Sites ->Default Web Site->CasaTunes
2. Double-click the Application Settings icon
3. The 3 variables you will need to change, are:
EnableBackButton - Set this to true
BackButtonTitle - Set the title to ‘mControl’ or whatever you want
BackButtonURL - Set it to the URL used to launch mControl when you are running CasaTunes in a browser.
By default, CasaTunes is already configured to launch the mControl application when running within Windows MCE. This is set by the GUID specified in BackButtonNavigateToPage setting.
These settings will be preserved when you update CasaTunes so you will not need to re-do these steps each time you update the CasaTunes application.
