Hi,

i have a simple problem:

I can't find the keyboard shortcuts for rating a track (1-5 stars) on the Mac.
The HELP isn't really helpful here. Would you please help me?

Thanks, Fred.

I don't think there are any built in shortcut keys for star ratings.  But a while back I did a few key mappings for MC on Mac and documented what I did.  I chose alt-1, alt-2, etc for star ratings.  See my post here with my keyboard mappings for MC on Mac:

Hi Brian,

thanks for your answer! I will try your method.
Nevertheless i don't understand why this is not built in the app.

Thanks, Fred.

Hi Brian,

i created a new directory "Custom Resources" under the "Data" directory and inserted the "Resource.xml" because there was neither "Custom Resources" nor "Resource.xml".



I copied your code to "Resource.xml".
But unfortunately it doesn't work (after restarting MediaCenter).

It's been a long time since I posted that thread.  I had forgotten that my "code" needs to be inserted at the end of an existing Resource.xml file.

Here's a link to the wiki article which in turn has a link to a sample Resource.xml file:

http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/User_Defined_Global_Keyboard_Shortcuts

Put that file in place, then copy and paste my code at the bottom *before* the ending "</Accelerators>" line.

Finally, I see you put this under Media Center 21.  Are you running MC21 or MC22 ?

Good luck.

Brian.

Brian,

thanks again for your help!!

This time is works like expected.
And i've seen, there are many aspects of MediaCenter that can be controlled by keyboard shortcuts. I have to dive into the documentation.

P.S.: Yes, i still use MC21. Therefore i used this directory.
