I was wrong, it's not working. The Recorded TV button is taking me to ripped DVD TV series rather than OTA recorded TV. Is there something I need to change in the Theatre View menu tree to make this work?
The "Recorded TV" button on an MCE remote or a remote emulating an MCE remote, such as a Logitech, will take you to the "Shows" menu item in MC Theatre View. If you have changed the Theatre View menu names, and/or moved them around, you will get some other, usually undesirable, result. This is a well know shortcoming of the Theatre View design. It may get changed at some time in the future.
To the best of my knowledge there is no "DVD TV Series" group in Theatre View, so I assume you have created that group/menu item, and that is where the button just happens to take you.
I just tested on my HTPC with modified menus, but which also still includes the "Shows" menu, using both a standard MCE remote and my Logitech running MCE emulation. They both work the same. They find and display the contents of the "Shows" item, and when I press the "Back" button, or left, left until I hit back, MC returns to the "Movies" menu item. That is probably because the "Movies" item is now in the position that the "Shows" item used to be, or something random like that, because it doesn't look like it is. Anyway, that happens consistently.
There is no current fix to this, other than putting back the original menu structure. It is possible to work around this issue using programmable remotes to go to the Home menu of Theatre View, then navigate any modified menu structure using a sequence of left, right, up, down, and enter commands, simulating using the same commands manually. It could probably be done with one of the infrared automation tools as well. A search of Interact will find discussions on this.
I believe that Infrared commands have been the same since Vista, so Windows 7, 8, and 10 should all be the same.
