Xzener 729 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Luke, can we map the MCE "menu" button to "home" in ET please?? And, not sure if its been done already, "guide" to ETs TV Guide for those with TV capabilities. Also, I think its planned... The MCE "info" button to bring up the OSD scenes/audio/subtitle popup??

bret1958 26 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hate to chime in as I know your guys list is long, Looks like the remote keys need to be looked at besides remapping extra keys Where should we be noting the minor issues we see. without flooding the threads with redundant finds..

Xzener 729 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Do you have particular buttons in mind? Have they been brought up yet? Edited January 17, 2016 by Xzener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcoupe 63 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just to add to this, it would be fantastic for the number keys on an MCE remote to be able to handle jumplists, as was implemented in WMC. That is, to use the letters associated with the numbers (as in an old-fashioned telephone) on the remote. So, for example, pressing '5' once would take you to titles beginning with 'J', and pressing '8' three times in quick succession would take you to titles beginning with 'V'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danee 57 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) +1 for Tripple Tap support as we are used to from our MCE and WMC days https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb189664.aspx Edited January 17, 2016 by Danee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1052 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Triple tap has been mentioned many times previously. I can't find the post right now - but I thought Luke had mentioned that it wasn't on the cards for ET, and that the alpha-picker is a good alternative. I'd be happy with the alpha-picker if it appeared everywhere but only appears on main TV and Movie libraries at the moment.

Xzener 729 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Ok, so I understand the whole 6 button idea... But it seems we're (hoping) that normal everyday buttons get implemented right? If I wanted 6 button control, I'd buy a FireTV. Am I right, do others feel the same as I do?? Clicking right/left arrows for chapter skipping is just strange IMO. Skip and Replay are much better candidates.

Latchmor 584 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yip, I have spent years training to use all my buttons in the dark so I want to use them too :-) I'm sure they'll come after the simple layout is working. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsbarde 10 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I too am a fan of the old button layout, (skip back etc) and I'd also love the triple tap to come back as well, the new style is fine...but most/many of us have MCE remotes and hitting a button is still way faster than navigating around esp if you have a large media library like I do. I see no reason we can't have both? They don't see mutually exclusive in any way to me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitmore 781 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) I mentioned this in the other thread, but I'll add it here as a FR. I'd love to see support to be able to map commands on my harmony to take you straight to TV/Movies/Music etc, like the MCE remote does with WMC. Possibly an .xml with custom entry points?

DigiTM 60 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Use a MCE remote here as well, so true support for all the buttons would be great. Including the info button. Cater for that remote, you almost cater for Harmony remotes. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzener 729 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'd like the info button to bring up scenes/audio/subtitles in the OSD. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchmor 584 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 What remote are you using Latch? Harmony Smart Control (the one with the hub). I think a lot of users don't use the Live TV part of MCE and don't know what the buttons do when you are watching Live TV (e.g. up/down for mini guide) so if we get to a stage where we can have a MCE layout I'll be happy I know the buttons could do different things per screen if needed. I like jumping pages of lists/posters in EMC with channel up/down but obliviously when watching TV they... I won't finish that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
