The 3.5 version of BTV was released this morning. It new executable and parameters are:
BTVD3DShell.exe (opens to last mode it was in)
BTVD3DShell.exe /displaymode:fs (Full Screen Mode)
BTVD3DShell.exe /displaymode:windowed (Windowed Mode)
I did figure out how to emulate the way Beyond Media integrates BTV. Here's the way I setup Xlobby with it:
1. Set Btv to start in background.
2 Create one event to both execute an execute command for BTVD3DShell.exe and a show window command. For show window the class name is Streamzap.WM.D3D and window name is Beyond TV. Then attach the event to a button.
3. In Girder, add a minimize window command with BTV as its target and learn it to a key on your remote.
4. Turn off the Exit Viewscape option in BTV's web admin. (you won't need it and Beyond Media runs it this way, but ths is optional)
The only difference with Beyond Media and this is that the escape key, when in the main window of BTV, will minimize BTV and go back to BM. Here it takes a key on you remote. Other than that, it looks like it works the same.
Later,
