I am using Media Browser Theatre in the living room right now. I thought I would try the Windows 8.1 App version this weekend. Congratulations on the great work on the Windows 8.1 App. It is the way forward and the design is one of the best I have seen amongst the many platforms you are supporting. Unfortunately navigating with the windows remote control sometimes does nothing and no panels appear to have the focus. I have to reach for the mouse and can sometimes switch back to the remote but not for long. Are other users having issues? My remote is the standard MS one for MC. A related issue for me is that I am on a trial which will expire fairly quickly so I will have no idea when the issue is resolved as I wont be eligible for another trial. Unfortunately I can't use it as it is at the moment.

I wonder if there are plans for navigation similar to Apple TV "fast scroll"? Now I am on this subject. Which remote would you recommend? Thanks

Luke - will there be any changes coming that reduce the number of button presses that are required to simply play the next episode of a show? To play the next episode of any specific TV show (after highlighting the specific series) is... Three button presses with MBC (and chocolate): Enter into series Enter into next episode (due to next unplayed season/episode being automatically selected) Press play At least seven and possibly many more button presses with MBT: Enter into series Cursor right onto "Seasons" Cursor down to "Season 1" Cursor right (possibly more than once) to current season Cursor down (probably more than once) to next episode Enter into next episode Press play Or is there already a quicker way to access the next episode of a specific series?

Hey guys Not sure if this is planned but to remove the mce remote and replace with the phone/tablet apps & having options like: -launch MBC or media center from the phone (a green button) -move up,down left & right & select in the media center tv guide (for those with tuners) Any plans like them ?

Running server v3.0.5099.2102 & MBC v3.0.103.0 B12-19.1 When I send something to the MBC on my XBOX it plays fine. But the XBOX will start to go into power save mode and have to keep awake with the controller. Anyone else having this issue?

Hi, So, with my desktop PC hooked up to my surround speakers but me typically reclining a few meters away, it's simply easier for me to use a functional remote/playback system such as Media Browser 3 rather than iTunes and an old iPod touch as a remote. I've not used the queueing feature much as I'm still adjusting to how much slicker MB3 is compared to MBC, but here's what happens when I use it: On one computer, browsing, say, music, pick a tune, start playing it, find another tune, click play then queue. Works fine. However, on one computer, find a tune, click Remote, click play. Find another tune, click Remote then queue, but it automatically starts playing that instead, overwriting the queue and canceling playback of my original item. (as usual, searched forum for basic phrases before posting, apologies if this has already been addressed)

Hi, Recently managed to get MB3 server semi-configured after using MB classic for longer than I can remember - I'm amazed by how fast the web interface is compared to how MB classic got bogged down by WMC. Video quality is obviously inferior for me as it's streaming rather than local access, but anyway... I managed to configure MB3 as far as accessing it via a web interface locally on my MacBook with Chrome, and am loving the remote feature so I can use the MBA as a massive smart remote control and have my media playback on my PC, but I can't find a remote fullscreen option? I see play/pause and other playback options, queuing, playlist etc., but can't find a remote fullscreen option? (bit awkward since I'm about 3.5 meters from the PC so have to get up and re-fullscreen videos)

Upon further review mbt will properly pause and play files with my remote when mbt is not the primary screen. But if I click or have mbt on full screen a pause or play press triggers it twice. I think this may be a mbt issue.

Hello everyone. First of all, special kudos to the MB team, this is outstanding work ! MBC has been adopted by the whole family and everyone loves it Now onto my question. I use MBC, on windows 7 64bits. I've configured MBC (through the MB configurator) to use an external player, VLC 2. Everything works fine, I can play, pause and stop movies with my MCE remote with no issue. However, I would like to know how to map other remote keys to functions in VLC, especially : * Toggle sound tracks * Toggle subtitile tracks * Other speed for fastforward (>>| is already configured for 30sec jumps, I would like to configure >> for 5 sec jumps for instance). I suspect MBC already remapped some keys (>>| jumps 30sec when VLC is launched through Mediabrowser, but skips to the next item in the playlist when VLC is launched independently from the desktop). Is there a config file in MB that I can edit to alter this behavior, or shall I have to use EventGhost to achieve this ? Thanks for your input, and have a nice day !

Hi Everyone, One thing I have not heard much about is how all these different clients can be controlled remotely. Is there a plan for some level of TCP communication - websockets for instance? Or maybe similar to XBMC with a JSON API?

I would like to see the ability of remote commands/control to be limited to only allowing control of the same user. So if my son is logged into his MBC session and logged in using the android app to send remote commands he would only be able to see any of his sessions. My other son was complaining that his media kept pausing and here it was because my youngest was not paying attention to the session he was controlling the other night and got me thinking this could be bad as they could just start messing with each other or me and the wife for the fun of it. As for adults wanting to control another profile like their younger kids, I would think the only user that should have the option to remote command/control any user's session would be a user profile with the allow this user to manage the server toggle turned on in server.
