How Can MC26 Be Made to Respond to Remote Control "STOP" Command?
« on: February 04, 2020, 04:30:02 pm »
Previous versions of MC could STOP playback when I pressed STOP on my Harmony Remote. MC26 does not do this anymore. Can it be "taught" how to do this?

I use a Harmony 650 and don't have a problem with the stop button working. I have it programmed to send the stop command from the "Media Center PC SE" dataset.

The Stop button doesn't need any programming in MC to work on a Harmony Remote. If you clear any "Learned Trigger Code" in MC for the Stop button it should start working again.

However, you have done some non-standard setup on your Harmony, haven't you?

The "STOP" command works from keyboard (CTRL+s), but does not work from Harmony remote for a button that sends CTRL+s.
This does work in MC25.

I have used Harmony remotes with Media Center for as long as I've had MC (since about version 16...). Only more recently (version 23 onward), I took the time to program the Keyboard Hot-keys [https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Keyboard_Hot-keys] for certain transport controls to the appropriate Harmony Remote buttons (e.g. STOP, SKIP...).

These no longer work in MC26. That is, the Hot-keys still work from a keyboard, but no longer from the any Harmony Remote that has those commands programmed into its buttons. Has anyone else experienced similar anomalies with these? Is there a solution?

So you have probably broken the standard Harmony and MC functionality. It probably worked previously because you had updated the Resource.xml file with the Hot Key you needed.

You need to fix what you changed. Using the standard functionality, as Davelr is, is the easiest solution.

Thanks, I have the Harmony set to send MC SE "STOP" now, but MC doesn't respond. I will try to figure out how to clear a "learned trigger code..."

I verified that no "learned trigger code" was present in MC26 as I have it configured.
MC 26 won't respond to ANY transport controls from Harmony remote with Windows MC SE as the "device" in the "activity," or at all.

MC 25 does respond to the transport commands.

SOLVED.

The remote control IR interface for the computer has a TSR program that had to be modified to include specifically version 26 of Media Center in its own settings.
