Title: turning on JRiver with a keyboard
Post by: jorsan on December 16, 2015, 05:49:18 am

Hi,
I would like to program my universal remote to turn JRiver on. Is there any place where I can find all the keys or combination of keys from a computer keyboard to make this option to work?. thanks in avdance

I think you can find what you need to learn here https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands (https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands)

this might help too https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/The_Command_Line (https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/The_Command_Line) if you have a configurable keyboard - but you talk about keyboards and a universal remote so I'm not sure what you want to do.

many functions can be programmed directly through options mapping your remote. I believe you would want to launch the media server program at least though on Win boot, if not the main UI itself. There are lots of post in the Remote part of the forum on this.

EventGhost can do what you are asking.  If you are using IR from the universal remote, you will need an IR receiver.

I have an IR receiver in my system. I already configured my remote to control all the functions of JRiver (paly ff, rwd, pause, up down, etc.). What I want to know if is there a way to run JRiver from a remote without a keyboard, a mouse, and click on the icon. I can close it but don't know how to run it.

thanks

As stated before download and install EventGhost on the same PC.  Within EG you can set it up an event that when it receives a certain IR command from the remote, it will launch MC.
