Currently, I get around this problem by using auto hotkey to fire an MCC command that drops from theater view to standard view, then theater view, followed by the required right, down, right cursor key presses to get to where I want to be via a single button press on the remote. I have to update these with every major version upgrade.

Being able to specify my own landing places per button natively would remove a lot of upgrade pain, and give much smoother theater view jumps by removing the need to drop into standard view, which is required to reliably have theater view start at default root point each time.

Instead of switching out to Standard view and back, have you tried using the 1 parameter on the MCC command to jump to the "home" location and then follow that with the required right, down, etc. sequence?  That's still not nearly as slick as being able to configure the landing locations as several of us would clearly be in favor of.

Edit: I just tried the 1 option on my system and it doesn't seem to do anything.

and those times it does do something, it does indeed drop to the home screen, but keeps whatever was last selected there, selected.
By dropping into standard view and back to theater view, the home screen selection is always reset.

That’s actually a great twist on the feature request - add a new command where the parameter is the tree path you want to jump to.  This wouldn’t require any changes or additions to the options menus and would be infinitely customizable by the user.

Also favorites already does this so at least similar "mechanism" is there

Yeah, this should be very doable to implement and would really be appreciated if they can throw a new version of the command that will accept the TheaterView path name as the parameter (so no changes needed to the options UI).
