Jriver player remote commands
Jriver player remote commands
I haven’t looked at jriver yet, but I wanted to ask Jamie specifically. Is it possible to mask some of the buttons on the MCE remote so they don’t do anything? An example is the tv button. When I press that it, jriver drops out of display view and into theatre view completely stopping playback. I just want a limited amount of buttons for playback and menu navigation.

Re: Jriver player remote commands
I don't use a remote any more I use a wireless keyboard with touchpad now. I wish Paul would complete the programming of allowing people to use a mouse for Clicking on covers. "hint" hint I think you might be able to fix the remote features by using an app that Paul had a link to on the earliest versions of the web site if you use a MCE remote.
Paul has a description of using hot keys at this spot on the CMC site. It also has documentation on programing a remote but does not mention that app that I use to use with CMC.

Check the documents under these getting started links.
7) Creating Shortcuts / Hotkeys to Launch CMC
8) MCE Remote Configuration
9) Help, I can't close PowerDVD / DVDFab Player / MPC / VLC / JRiver
10) Advanced Universal Remote Programming - CMC Hotkeys
9) might help you the most

Re: Jriver player remote commands
That app is AdvancedMCERemoteMapper. I used to have documentation on the old site for using it, and I learned how to code the MCE Remote Configuration in CMC by reviewing the public source code.
I used to have some documentation on the old site for this tool, but it didn't survive the redesign.
I was thinking this tool would be the answer too, but thought I would wait to see what Jamie had to suggest. You can think of AdvancedMCERemoteMapper as a power-user's version of what CMC has built-in.
If you're on Win10, then you can use the tool to remap the TV button (for example) to do anything else you want, including nothing. This would affect all of Windows, and CMC, not just JRiver.
One thing to be cognizant of is that both CMC and AdvancedMCERemoteMapper update the exact same registry settings, and you could override CMC's settings with AdvancedMCERemoteMapper, or vice-versa.
Also, it will suffer from the same issue that CMC has, Win10 seasonal updates revert the registry to default values, so you'd have to launch AdvancedMCERemoteMapper and update the registry each time that happens.

Re: Jriver player remote commands
I think this might be what you’re talking about. Advanced MCE Remote Mapper:

There is a thread on the Kodi Forum where you can download it.
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=164252
I’ve used it before and it works. Don’t recall why I stopped using it. Takes a little effort to configure it, but it works. It never caused a issue with WMC or CMC. Source code is available on GitHub.
Paul beat me to it! Yep I would have to put back the remote changes to the registry with windows seasonal updates, but the cmc experience is ruined when I press the wrong button and it takes me out of the interface. For me that’s a big downside.

Re: Jriver player remote commands
I'm not opposed to making CMC's MCE Remote Configurator better, so if you have a punch-list of additional functionality required to achieve the result you want, post it here and I can consider it.
I have been thinking lately that I'd like to make the MCE Remote Configuration more capable anyway. What I programmed was the bare minimum required to get a good experience with CMC, and that leaves a lot of ground between "bare minimum" and "freakin' awesome".

Re: Jriver player remote commands
Awesome Paul! I’ll start taking a look at it when I get some time.

Re: Jriver player remote commands
I found the AdvancedMCERemoteMapper files deep in my Desktop archive. I have placed it in my CMC archive and MMBrowser archive where I will be able to find the answer to your or other peoples questions a lot faster and more concisely.
Re: Jriver player remote commands
I was paying attention. I have added touch to the DVD covers for v4.3. Seems to work well.
I still need to add some type of arrow buttons for scrolling full pages.
Support for any type of drag scrolling will have to wait for a complete redesign of the cover code, if I decide that is in scope.

Re: Jriver player remote commands
That's great news. I was just looking for the ability to click on the covers. Thank you. I sort my titles in a particular way so the I can type the beginning of the titles and select the covers by clicking them. No scrolling needed for this type of navigation but others might disagree. At least I'll be happy.!!Pauven wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 7:06 pmI was paying attention. I have added touch to the DVD covers for v4.3. Seems to work well.
