dont have my logitech remote to check operation but it was mapped to the keyboard anyway.

You need to configure Windows Media Center as device for your Logitech remote. All buttons are working.

if you stop a movie with the main menu overlay it still shows now playing.

love the seek scroll UI

[Mahinepua 58]

yeah but my logitech buttons have worn out, need to program a new one lol. Bought 5 or 6 harmony remotes as spares.

While playing:

Skip buttons step forward/backward.
Ffwd/Rewnd: Quick forward/backward with trick-play (miniature) in 4 acceleration steps (press multiple times)

While paused

Skip buttons step frames 
Ffwd/Rewnd: initiate playback with speed control

apart from the tv guide everything works as it should. the txt size and layout is massive, just like emby in tv mode.

mc deep animated is pretty cool. I still have all the old wmc themes, not emby...WMC.

[Mahinepua 58]

can you add a continue watching tab on the main menu, that would be awesome. without it Id probably stick to emby

[Mahinepua 58]

yeah really like it.

if the tv guide could be fixed and continue watching added its a contender for the emby ui.

I still have all the software to edit the original wmc menus and customise it.

Yes, a number of people had said that. I wonder why WMC didn't have it..

Fixed how?

[Mahinepua 58]

hang on I'll take a screenshot.

[Mahinepua 58]

give me 2 secs ill show you what it should look like.

[Mahinepua 58]

[Mahinepua 58]

but without the large horizontal time sections.

the original wmc tv guide was great.

that snip is from emby in desktop mode, somewhere inbetween that and your WMC ui would be ideal.

nextpvr's guide is good isnt it?

You know this is for display on a TV where you are sitting 10 foot away ?

[Mahinepua 58]

is adding continue watching a good idea? its my most used part of emby in vertical mode as it combines movie, tv items etc.

When you set text size to "Normal", then what you get is PRECISELY the original WMC TV guide!

I think, yes.-

But I don't know how exactly...

I'm 10ft away on a 75" tv and the guide looks huge.

we have sat boxes and the UI is much smaller, plus emby & wmc ui cut off txt.

[Mahinepua 58]

cant you pull the continue watching details from the server just like the emby app does?

Me too, but I can't read it when it's smaller (or don't want to because it's not easy enough)

Sure, it's just about how to present it.

[Mahinepua 58]

you can make it slightly smaller and still read it I'm sure.

re: continue watching, keep it simple. scroll horizontally identical to emby in vertical mode.
