Title: Clear Playing Now Keyboard Shortcut
Post by: Bleu_Marin2 on December 08, 2009, 06:45:05 am

Hi,

I've been a MC user for years now and always asked for a keyboard shortcut for "Clear playing now".  We are now to version 14 and still nothing about this very simple request.

WHY don't you add this shortcut ?  I know lots of people would like to have this feature !

Thank's, Pierre

If you want to make it a shortcut key, you'll need to edit the file in the Media Center 14 program directory under \Data\Custom Resources called Resource.xml.

For this particular request, I added the key under ACCELERATORS:

Code: [Select]

<Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;2" Command="25014" Param="0" Global="0" />
This makes the shortcut key Ctrl+Shift+2 clear Playing Now when MC has the focus. You can make Global="1" if you want it anytime.

ctrl+shift+2 is used for rate a song.
Maybe they're ll be conflict.

Yep thx too cauz it's very usefull but maybe j river 'll be a gui more friendly for éditing shortcuts.

The correct path is:
\Data\Default Resources (not Custom Ressources)

actually this is how it should be. make a Custom Resources folder besides the default recources folder. copy the resource. xml to the custom recourses folder and edit the file to your needs. mc checks first what is in the custum folder and when it finds something it will read that before reading the default. when installing a new build the custum recources folder is not overwritten, the default is.
it might be interesting to know that the same can be done with the default art and the default webpages folders.

Is there a command I can use to clear only the files that have already been played from Playing Now, rather than the entire list?
