Title: Change ratings from Theater View
Post by: Peter_T on June 11, 2008, 11:40:32 am

I thought I posted this a few days ago, but maybe I didn’t press “submit”.  Anyhoo…

Does anyone know if I can change a song rating from theatre view using my remote?  I would love to be able to press a numerical key on my MCE remote and set that song’s rating to that many stars.  Even better would be to press a key followed by a number key to get the number of stars. 

I have intelliremote running – maybe I could use that to intercept IR signals and send a string of keystrokes or something like that?  Can that be done from theatre view?

Thanks in advance!

If you can run a command from intelliremote when it detects a remote button press, you can execute the following command to set the rating:
mc12.exe /MCC 10023, <rating>

See Media Center Core Commands (http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands) for details and more useful MCC commands.
