Would like to be able to do something like ALT-V for my vid zone and ALT-M for my music zone. Is there a way to do this? I know that there is CTRL-T but that just toggles and I actually don't have a CTRL key on my remote

Thx!

Assuming you are using 32-bit MC25, create a "resource.xml" file in the following directory (probably will have to create the directory): C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 25\Data\Custom Resources

Add the following as the content of the file, substituting Index1 and Index2 with the indexes of the desired zones.  I haven't tested it, but it should work .

Code: [Select]

<MJRS version="1.0">
  <ACCELERATORS>
    <Entry Key="Alt;M" Command="10011" Param="Index1" />
    <Entry Key="Alt;T" Command="10011" Param="Index2" />
  </ACCELERATORS>
</MJRS>

Thanks. I assume 64-bit would be same but in Program Files...

I'm not able to get this to do anything

I also tried this which should set just the 1 and 2 key to go back and forward between the 2 zones I have:

<MJRS version="1.0">
  <ACCELERATORS>
    <Entry Key="1" Command="10011" Param="-1" />
    <Entry Key="2" Command="10011" Param="-2" />
  </ACCELERATORS>
</MJRS>

I tested this and it is working for me.  Make sure you created the right directory and have the right zone ids in Param.  You also have to restart MC for the changes to take effect.  By the way, I don't think you can globally override the number keys.

Thanks. Where do you get the index values from? I only have the two (deleted "Player") so are those 1 and 2 automatically?

Would you kindly paste the exact file content you have?

Thank again!

I knew you would ask that next.

Thanks again. No luck though/does nothing (rebooted.)

Here is what I have in c:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 25\Data\Custom Resources\Resource.xml


<MJRS version="1.0">
  <ACCELERATORS>
    <Entry Key="Alt;M" Command="10011" Param="10001" />
    <Entry Key="Alt;V" Command="10011" Param="10000" />
  </ACCELERATORS>
</MJRS>


And output from http:

<Response Status="OK">
<Item Name="NumberZones">2</Item>
<Item Name="CurrentZoneID">10000</Item>
<Item Name="CurrentZoneIndex">0</Item>
<Item Name="ZoneName0">Video</Item>
<Item Name="ZoneID0">10000</Item>
<Item Name="ZoneGUID0">{5FEB8301-0AF7-4E6E-9269-2ACDFEE15F77}</Item>
<Item Name="ZoneDLNA0">0</Item>
<Item Name="ZoneName1">Music</Item>
<Item Name="ZoneID1">10001</Item>
<Item Name="ZoneGUID1">{68756961-6427-4A80-AAD2-10E1DBBBE591}</Item>
<Item Name="ZoneDLNA1">0</Item>
</Response>


Any other thoughts? Thanks!

Sorry, I used the wrong word in my last response.  You want the index and not the id.  You can hover your mouse over the zone in the tree in MC (left side of interface, Playing Now branch) to see the zone index and use those for Param.  Probably will be 0 and 1.

Alright I put this but no luck:

<MJRS version="1.0">
  <ACCELERATORS>
    <Entry Key="Alt;M" Command="10011" Param="1" />
    <Entry Key="Alt;V" Command="10011" Param="0" />
  </ACCELERATORS>
</MJRS>


So then I figured I would see if the keys are even being read properly from my remote/media keypad and that reveals that ALT is not really ALT it just toggles what the other buttons do ie. letter Q when ALT is on = 1. So being that I don't have CTRL on this either I am going to have to see if I can figure out something else out.

Interesting. What keyboard are you using? One of the combined remote controls with a keyboard on the back? Make and model please.

BTW, is the text you are posting the only thing you have put into that Resource.xml?
I have always copied the full default resource.xml to the \Custom Resources\ directory, and then edited it to get changes to work. I think that is required. I think MC uses either the default file, or the custom file, and not a combination of both. But I could be wrong in that. I've never tried to use a combination.

I think MC uses either the default file, or the custom file, and not a combination of both.

It uses the default, and overrides with whatever is in the custom file.  I only have an entry for "Delete" in my custom file and all the other shortcuts work as default.

Hi. Yes a generic air remote with the keyboard on the back (not the backlit one.) Love this little gadget actually because I can do all my media stuff plus control my DAC and lights lol. Thx

Thanks. Good to know.
