Boot to media player?

[meatheadmike]

All I really want to do with my TV is boot straight to the media interface so I can watch movies off of my network drive or the USB. Unfortunately Samy wants to force me to boot straight to TV mode. Is there a way to get the TV to start up in the media player? I had a look through the start up scripts but nothing caught my eye. I can boot up samba and other back end processes, but it doesn't seem like I can trigger anything to start on the front end.

I did manage to write a script that can send remote control sequences upon boot. But it's a pretty finicky hack. It can take up to a minute after you start up the TV before it starts sending the remote commands. And there's no button to go directly to videos or virtual USB So if anyone has better ideas I'm all ears.
