Title: Guide remote button
Post by: muzicman0 on June 09, 2014, 12:15:14 pm

Is it possible to open op Media Center in theater view and go directly to the guide?  I would like to make my remote's guide button do this using eventghost.  even if it is a key combo once inside theater view...

What about other area's like movies, shows, etc...is it possible to get MC to open to these views?

Explore the options under Startup.

Programming options are in the Devzone (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/DevZone).

So it looks like I can use a Media Center Core Command, and I see this on the page (here (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands)):

Code: [Select]

enum SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODES
{
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_TOGGLE_THEATER_VIEW,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_HOME,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_PLAYING_NOW,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_AUDIO,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_IMAGES,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_VIDEOS,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_PLAYLISTS,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_CD_DVD,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_TELEVISION,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_TELEVISION_GUIDE,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_TELEVISION_RECORDINGS,
    SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_LAST_VIEWED,
};

So it looks like I can start it in Guide mode (SHOW_THEATER_VIEW_MODE_TELEVISION_GUIDE), but I am not sure how to configure the command line argument...I can launch mc19.exe and add /MCC as an argument, but I am unsure where to go from there...

Can anyone help out with this?  I'm not a programmer, but I do work in technology (network engineer), so I can figure most stuff out, just lost on this one!

So I started plugging in random numbers, and discovered that:

Code: [Select]

mc19.exe /MCC 22001, 9

appears to do what I want with the guide.  I'll do more testing and see what happens.

I've updated the Wiki for the two modes that were not shown:

22001   MCC_THEATER_VIEW   0: Toggle, 1: Home, 2: Playing Now, 3: Audio, 4: Images, 5: Video, 6: Playlists, 7: CD & DVD, 8: TV, 9: TV Guide, 10: TV Recordings
