Hi there,

Is it possible to change the Access Control flag in Theatre View using a remote? I've searched around the UI, the wiki and this forum, but come up blank.

Thanks,

Bil

MCC 22016 will launch the Access Control dialog. So you can do at least that much by adding the "external program" command MC16.exe /mcc 22016 to the menu or assign it to a remote key. If your remote software allows a series of keystrokes to be used, you can program it also enter your password and toggle the setting.

Thanks - that's a start.

Doesn't get me much further though, because my "remote software" is MC itself... and that doesn't work with standard view dialogs. 

Also not particularly wife friendly - we use (or plan to use) access control to hide inappropriate films & music from our 5 year old. I'm fairly sure this will shock her. I'll have another play and see if I can figure out an easy way to make it work.

Run it from an AutoHotkey script that enters the command followed by the necessary keystrokes. There's nothing better than something geeky and wife-friendly at the same time.
