Title: Using remote in theater view to jump to letter
Post by: alspoll on March 11, 2013, 09:36:02 pm: All,

I tried reading the wiki but I did not see anything... is there a way to set up the number keypad on my remote to jump to a letter sms style?

TIA,

AL

Mine worked without me changing anything.

The Harmony is set-up by selecting JRiver in the Logitech software. I think it was MC14 or similar I found. I beleive that is based on a MCE.

When you say it only works for abc, do you the mean that only button "1" works?

Thanks again.

Post by: tls62dk on March 14, 2013, 12:06:14 pm: Yes, sorry. Also button "2" for me.

I just verified. All buttons work on my Harmony One, Harmony Touch and JRiver remotes. Just like SMS, meaning I can press button "8" twice and it will jump to Movie starting with "U". This is true for both Movies and Audio.

In the Logitech software I have selected JRiver Media Center 14 as my device for both Harmony remotes. It shouldn't matter however, since the JRiver remote is also working.

Under Options in Remote Control, the device I have selected is "Remote, Keyboard, gamepad or other HID" selected.

I did notice one limitation though. I am not able to search backward in the view. If I am at the letter "U" pressing a button to get to a letter before that does not work.That would actually be nice to have that fixed.
