I don't know if you've moved all your development efforts to 10.1, but can I make a last begging request?

The browse-back and browse-forward buttons on my mouse work brilliantly in Theatre View, but I can't get them to work via remote through Girder. Girder supports keyboard "Prior" and "Next" command, but they seem to be equivalent to Alt-Left and Alt-Right, which don't work in Theatre View. Would it be possible to add Alt-Left and Alt-Right support to Theatre View?

Alternatively, if anyone knows how to make Girder send equivalent commands that Theatre View accepts, that would be great too.

Thanks

I've always preferred to use the MCC commands - the ones you can see by looking at the Resources.xml file that is in the C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center\Data\Default Resources directory.  To make girder "execute" the MCC command, you can use the SendMessage command.  For example, Back should be:

Code: [Select]

Message Number:  33768
wParam:  22005
and Forward uses the wParam of 22006.

I've found that the MCC commands work better regardless of focus or mode.

You could also use Girder to send a keystroke that corresponds to a keyboard accelerator.

Note that while in general I also prefer using the "resource.xml" type commands in Girder, it is more a strain on system resources.  This shouldn't really matter on faster systems, but on "slower" systems (P3 850 for example) it actually makes a difference.  On slower systems, setting up "keyboard" commands in Girder is very noticeably more responsive, and might therefore be preferable.

Regarding the original question, I not clear what browse forward and browse back "mouse" buttons refers to.  Could you clarify what buttons you're using in Theater View that do the desired action?

Thanks for the suggestions. I've generally tried to stay away from MCC commands since they only work with MC. Using Girder keyboard/mouse commands means I can use lots of different software by remote without having to change Girder setup. I'll give this a try, though.

Larry: I have a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer which has two buttons and a wheel on top, and two smaller buttons on the left and right. This configuration is quite common now. The buttons are configurable, but by default they work like the Back and Forward buttons in IE, MC and lots of other apps. A few builds ago, support for these buttons was added to Theater View, allowing you to quickly browse back down the tree but equivalent keyboard accellerators were never added.

So why don't you add the accelerators yourself?

The keyboard command you need in girder for back is ...err..  'back'.  For forward I presume you are referring to the right arrow button which in girder is simply 'Right'.

You star. I'd always used Prior, which seems to do the same thing. I'd never noticed Back before and it works fine. For Forward, I meant the little button on the right of my mouse which does the opposite of back, i.e. goes back to where you were before you went back. I can live without that, though. It was Back I really wanted for moving back up the tree.

Thanks again.

I don't think that Theatre View supports a forward button.  As far as I know it just uses backspace (back), left, right, up, down and enter.  If forward were supported it would be Alt+Right.
