Remote Control Not Initializing on Portable Install

(1/2) > >>

scm:
I have Win7, MC14.165, and the J River Remote Control, which works fine on my local install, but I recently made a portable install and when I go to Options, Remote Control, Devices & Options, Select Input Devices, there are none available.  Usually there's a list.  Why is this?

Matt:
Sorry, but the remote control engine requires the Media Center service that runs when the program runs, and thus requires a full installation.

Mr ChriZ:
I still wish there was a way around this....

scm:
Me too.  Cuz I LOVE the portable install to my portable 1TB hard drive, so I can take it between home and car and office, etc. but at home I enjoy my customized Media Center Remote, which is now rendered useless.  Since I paid for a remote and MC14, can anyone from JRiver advise me on whether a workaround or solution at least WILL be coming in the future?  I can't use the remote I paid for.

I understand I can use it with a full install, but it defeats the purpose of a portable install if I have to sync the library each time I come home with a full install in order to use the remote.

scm:
Also, why do my MUTE, VOL UP and VOL DOWN buttons on my laptop not work when I'm in MC14 portable, and I have to minimize the window to go into another program in order for them to work.  In MC14 full install they work fine, why would portable disable them?
