In Windows Media Center if you select an album when one is "Now Playing" you get the option of adding to Now Playing.. basically queuing it up to play next. When the current now playing ends.. We should be able to do this easily in Theatre View. Whay am I missing?

Right click the album.

Right click the album.

I figured that out, but a Media Center is not a 10 ft interface device... how do I a right click with a real MS Remote?

The problem with this app is that it's heart and soul is coming from desktop app perpective not a 10 ft interface app.

I have to keep going across the room and staring at the 82 in screen trying to find what should be obvious.

Is there a straight forward plan b... I don't want to use a mouse. I am trying to get to use this app with a remote as a Media Center should do. Obviously maintenance tasks need keyboards or mice but to just add an album to now playing is a task that needs a mouse at 10 ft like we need holes in our heads.

Theater view???

Theater view???

Yeah in Theater View.. you can do it with a mouse by right clicking. In WMC they ask you, you don't need a mouse.... Theater View should not be about using a mouse by definition.

In Theaterview you have play options you can select with your remote.
You have the option to "play all" on the first roller. Move on this with your remote.
Then on the second roller below you can choose "Add all" "Shuffle all" and "Add all (as next to play).

Thank You! Convuluted compared to WMC but that will work. Everything about this app seems to have been invented in it's own dialect.

I believe you can program one of your buttons, or MC to bring up a context menu upon certain remote button.
