Title: Go Straight to Live TV from Theatre View
Post by: mattkhan on June 16, 2016, 04:55:54 pm

I've just added a capture card for routing an hdmi input via jriver. My 1st thought once getting it working was to stick it in theatre view so one click takes you straight in. This seems slightly obscure .... is http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=96734.0 still the standard way to do this or is there a simpler way?

As the thread you linked suggests, the "Live TV" button on MCE remote control works.  It takes you straight to the last played channel.  MCCommand 30002 will do the same if you do not supply a channel number, or will go to specified channel if you do supply a channel number.  Both of them work from anywhere, not just Theater View.

You can also customize Theater view and create a channels view in it.  Then you can go to Theater view and start any channel from it.

Ok thanks. It seems like some shortcuts to these commands would make sense so I can just pick channels or live TV instead of having to work out which internal mcc command code to use.
