Feature request for Theater View with remote control
« on: July 01, 2022, 01:39:40 am »

Currently, to change the various settings in Theater View mode, such as audio, subtitles, aspect ratio, etc., you have to scroll the up and down arrows from the keyboard or remote control, and this sometimes involves a waste of time: it would not be possible to make the various settings appear horizontally like the blu ray menus?

That is, with the arrow below all the settings appear and then moving horizontally you can choose where to intervene

I don't understand what you're proposing.  The behavior is documented on the wiki under OSD (On Screen Display).

https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/OSD

Could you re-write that here to represent what you propose?

This has worked well for a long time, so any change would have to be a clear improvement for most people.

you could map MCC command to remote/keyboard to toggle subtitles without finding it from menu. Would that be helpful?
Code: [Select]
28032 MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_SET_SUBTITLES int nIndex (-1 toggles forward, -2 toggles backwards, -3 to browse for subtitles)

Ditto here. I would like one keystroke (or key combo) to go to the Theater Playing Now screen. currently, it takes several iterations to get to that screen. It would be nice to pop directly to that screen.

This is kind of funny.  I just went to the keyboard mapping file so I could experiment with direct access to Theater View Playing Now.  It turns out I already added that quite some time ago... I just never use it.  lol

Here's the entry I have in my "Resource.xml" file:

Code: [Select]
    <!-- Direct access to theater view Playing Now -->
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;6" Command="22001" Param="2" Global="1" />

Here's a little bit of info on how to use the keyboard mapping file:
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/User_Defined_Global_Keyboard_Shortcuts

My shortcut key (control-6) seems to work as intended.  It should be similar to map a keyboard shortcut for subtitles.
