Respond to MCE remote control when PC is locked?
« on: July 05, 2018, 08:41:57 am »

I would like to be able to control MC (pause, next track, etc.) with my standard MCE remote control when the PC is locked.  It appears that MC is not able to respond when the PC is locked.  Is there any way to make this work?  Thanks.

Do you have under General / Features Remote Control activated? Otherwise MC is only responding while having focus.

Yes, this is activated but MC won't respond when not having focus.

Turns out Play and Pause are the only buttons that don't work when MC is not focused.  Stop, Next, Previous, etc. all seem to work?
