Thanks Gappie but all that stuff in that wiki page just goes straight over my head!Where do I type the MCC commands? Where do I get this special remote? etc etc.
I'm not a tech person, I just want to be able to plug & play!! I really like MC13 but there's a few things about it that put me off. The product is complicated and I can't afford to spend 3 hours looking for an answer to a question when it should be in a manual!
Anyway, enough complaining!!
you dont have to look for three hours, just do a search, and when that does not help, just ask here.. and imo a manual wont help. mostly they say what things do, but not how to get something done. that would be undoable. so many users so many wishes and setups... and not to be rude, but you are able to plug and play, its when you have a special request for your setup, that you have to do something outside plug and play. like switching tracks for music while you watch images. and i think there are enough people here who like to help. its not a problem when you think you are not so techie.
as you said in your first post, the next and skip etc work for the images only when you are watching images.. gues that is what most people would want it to do. now you have a remote. how are you using it with mc. is it working out of the box with mc (plug and play
) or did you assign buttons via a programm that came with the remote?
the next question is, how would you like it to work.. should the next button always play the next track of music, which could be an idea, since you could go to the next image when in full screen, using the arrows on your remote..
now when you want that.. you can use mcc commands when you use the remote with an external program.. that is what that page is about.
now when you use an program that came with the remote, it might be possible to add commands like the ones on that page
for instance
mc13.exe /MCC 10003,0
would be the command for next track. now i assume you only have one zone. and that is where the music is playing. you want to switch the track in that zone (the images are played in there own zone).
now use:
mc13.exe /MCC 10003,16777216
i know that this explanation might not be clear, but when you post a bit about how your setup, so how the remote works, it might be possible to get things working.. when it is possible..and you dont need a special remote.
have fun
