issues with theater view
« on: August 29, 2014, 11:05:19 am »

I am new to JRiver and have a few issues/questions that I would like to see if there are solutions too.

1. In options/theater view I change the name from "Shows" to TV Shows. I wanted it to be a little more descriptive for the family. When I did this the windows media center remote  command "Recorded TV" stop working. The command now brings you back to the main screen in theater view but does not open anything. Remove TV and it works again. Is this is a glitch or the names not customizable.

2. I use playlists a lot when listening to music and while the keyboard command alt+7 works in standard view it does not work in theater view. Is there a command that can be learned by a remote for opening playlists in theater view?

3. My last issue is with Netflix. When  I open the movies show up. when I highlight one to play the Netflix profiles come up, I have one for my wife and I and one for my daughter. No Matter which one is selected I get an error saying aw shucks something went wrong. I then have to get the keyboard and click on the icon and then it plays the movie.  if I stop the movie and start a new one same process starts over.

The remote opens a view called Shows.  If it's not there, no view.

Thanks Matt. Is there a simple step by step for dummies on how to accomplish the executable command. I looked it up on the wiki but I am not clear.

Well you can teach the remote that button, I think.  Theater View : Playlists is one of the commands on the Edit Remote Commands dialog.

The remote opens a view called Shows.  If it's not there, no view.

I found this aspect of MC annoying. I have added a view called "TV Shows" which excludes recordings, plus I have an additional "TV Recordings" view. The original "Shows" view includes all recordings and other TV shows from DVDs and so on. I rarely use that view.

It would be nice if the view that is opened with the selection of the standard MCE commands could be redefined in MC. It would be even nicer if MC could learn the extended MCE commands available on Logitech remotes, and the actions to be taken could be user defined. I would like to use this at least to run external commands (programs). At present extended IR commands are all ignored.
