Title: Besides Green Button, any other way to get to Theater View Home With A Click?
Post by: datdude on January 06, 2010, 09:34:05 pm

I know there are MCC commands but I have no idea how they could be used other than coding a program.  I use a program called EventGhost and it does allow python scripting within it and can also pass keyboard commands to MC.

Any ideas on how to program a button on my remote to get it to go to the Home Page of Theater View?

Thanks

This MCC command will do what you want :-

Code: [Select]

MC14.exe /mcc 22001,1
Test it out in a command prompt (with MC running).

What I do with commands like these normally is wrap them up in a simple script - .bat or .vbs for instance - and assign the required remote button to it. I'm assuming your remote software provides this feature. Most do. Below is an example vb script. Copy and past the code into a file called something like "TViewHome.vbs" :-

Code: [Select]

Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

wshShell.run "MC14.exe /mcc 22001,1" 

Set wshShell = nothing
Cheers.
