The site recommended from the site https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/User_defined_global_keyboard_shortcuts is
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/put/downloads/music/misc/Resource.xml. Attempting to access the site results in timeouts.

Anyone know where this file can actually be accessed?

Thanks.

I'm not sure where you got that URL.  Perhaps you manually transcribed it or something? It's close, but the real URL is:

ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/misc/Resource.xml

BTW, I have some additional examples from my own Resource.xml file if you would like.

Good luck.

Brian.

I tried your site on Chrome, MSIE, and Firefox. All fail with a message approx. "ftp.jriver.com" took too long to reply.
Don't have any problems with normal web sites but the 'ftp' part has somehow created a problem for me.

It sounds like you are behind a proxy server or a very restrictive firewall.

I could attach that file here if that would help you.  But it would have to be a zip file, since the forum won't accept XML files.  I could paste the entire text into a code box here I guess.

My router was restricting ftp. Fixed it and now I have the file. Would love to have some of your examples.

I tried...

<MJRS version="1.0">
   <COMMANDS>
      <Entry Command = "40000"   Text="Add to Playing Now" />
   </COMMANDS>
  <ACCELERATORS>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;A" Command="40000" Param="0" />
  </ACCELERATORS>
</MJRS>

It did not work. I am not sure about the "Add to Playing Now" but it is available when you rt-clk on a selection. I want
to lft-clk to select a selection execute Ctrl-A to add it to the Playing Now List

[blgentry]

Control-A is already taken.  It's the "select all" key (Edit > Select all).  You sometimes have to do some experimentation with this stuff because I don't think you can over-ride a factory default built in key like control-A .  Try something else like control shift A, or another key combination.

Good luck.

Brian.

Thanks - Yes I found it looking through the default xml file. Where are "Param" and "TranslateFlags" described. When are they needed?

I assume that you can only use commands defined in the Media Center core Commands. If so, there appears to be no command corresponding to "Add to Playing Now". Does this mean I am out of luck? It seems unreasonable to not have that command defined. All of the functions accessible through a rt-clk on a selection should have the ability to define short cuts.

There's no MCC to add files to Playing Now.  I'm not even sure how you'd pass the files?

But how about using the command line (/Append)?

There are some details here:
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/The_Command_Line

[blgentry]

Another possibility for you is to change the default behavior of the double click.

Tools > Options > General > Behavior > double click > (make your selection here)

The default is "replace playing now (all)".  You could set it to "add to playing now" (end or next are both options).  That would be faster than a key sequence probably.  I'm not sure if it meets your needs or not.  Just throwing out an option for you.

Good luck.

Brian.

[MRjr]

Thanks - the double click worked just fine.
