aaRJay 2 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Now that WMC is out of the picture, is there a way to start MBT on Win 10 with the Green Button on an MCE remote? This would make life so much more easy than having to get off the couch (the effort required!!) and walk across the room just to click the mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3744 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Just off the top of my head you could look into a couple programs Auto IT Or Intelliremote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mibok 116 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 You can also try LM Remote KeyMap or EventGhost. I recommend LM Remote KeyMap is easy to configure and free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3744 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yes LM Remote Keymap. That is a good one. To bad we couldnt figure out the hex codes for the green button and have it programmatically set in the theatre... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee 204 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It's easy to set tgb as start/windows button (I have!) I can upload the reg.file if anyone wants it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm pretty sure I've seen the taskbar first program code somewhere too.. I'd have to look for that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3744 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) So that reg file you speak of, must edit the particular entry to change the button... Where is the entry? If we could find that, then we could just add the theatre executable instead. But, if windows 10 doesn't have the entires for wmc, then that would through a loop into my idea.

Lee 204 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 there you go.. that's the code for tgb to start, haven't had time to look for task bar one sorry... didn't upload as a reg key for obvs reasons for those who don't know open notepad past this in, when you go to save as change file type to "all files" then type key.reg that'll save it as a reg file... DO A REG KEY BACK UP FIRST BEFORE TRYING THIS!!!!

elshagon 44 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I just place Emby Theater on my taskbar where you can assign keys to open it. The "Win+" keys will open taskbar programs. For example, if you have Emby as your third folder over on your taskbar Win+3 will open it. I use a logitech remote to open it by assigning the key to it. I also use Unified Remote app for my android phone and assign the Win+3 keys to open it using my phone as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Harmony One remote so I'm not sure if it works the same as the Logitech harmony 1100i. I've written up a tutorial here how I programmed my Logitech remote to work with my setup. Here's the link of how I've programmed it for everything: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/8006-logitech-remote-commands/?p=106513 What it comes down to is adding Windows Media Center SE as a device on your Logitech remote and then in the Logitech software "customize additional buttons" to add hotkeys to launch Media Browser from the quicklaunch taskbar. See the link above where I posted pictures and explanations for this and other ways to control your HTPC using your Logitech. Feel free to ask away if you have any questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestrat13 33 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think it would be awesome for MBT to include key mapping, like how video games can. The way the program is headed, we probably won't need to leave the app for anything except streaming content. This may have been brought up before, but I can't remember.

Maybe, but that wouldn't address this issue (starting the program with the "green button"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
