Remote configuration questions

Hello, and thanks for this amazing software.

I've actually spend hours configuring MP, to get it perfect, and I have some questions concerning the configuration of a remote : (in my case, a X10 ati model).

I have some emulators launched from MP. I'd like to be able to close them with the remote control. Can I do that with the MP config, without using girder or anything ? In the case I have to use girder, can I tell him to do an action only with a certain program and not with others ? But I think it can be done in MP config, since there is an action available "close program" and "kill program".

Another questions, I have set one of my Remote buttons to switch audio language, with action/next audio. When I press this one, it switch to the next audio track, and it switch back to the first one when all have been shown. I'd like it to be the same with subtitles, so I set another button to action/next subtitle, but it switch subtitle, but when arriving to the last one, it doesn't go back to the first one. I'd like it to do so, and to show a "none" subtitle too, to disable it. Is there another command to do so ? If not, it would be nice to correct this little thing in future versions

Two bonuses questions, not regarding remote, just in case someone know :
I'm using X300 card, and with purevideo codec, on some dvd, image is horrible (big pixels...). I have to disable hardware acceleration in the codec to solve it. Anyone know another solution ? The problem is the same with powerdvd 7.

With my programs plugins, I configured some lists, one for each emulator. They are set as "directory cache" so the program know the association of each rom with its associated image. But when I go in this list in MP, and using the list view, the image on the left of the screen takes a lot of time before refreshing, when i'm browsing the list. So I have to use another view ("vignette" in my version of mp, don't know in english). Any solution to use the list one with immediate refresh ?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my level of english

- close program is for MP itself

- for X300... probably a bug with your drivers? do you have the latest? maybe the card is too slow or something? (shouldn't)

- only myprograms developer can help you with myprograms, and I am not sure he is around

OK for close program.

Concerning Video Card, drivers are last ones but omega version. Weird problem, but it looks like it's not working too badly with hw acceleration disabled. But, in some dvd menu, the graphics are not moving when I press a key (example : I go from movie to bonus with arrow key, the screen is staying the same, but if I press ok, I go in the bonus menu).

Concerning my programs, maybe someone had the same problem and found a solution ?

(and when some dev adds better menu handling, multiple calls to modules and plugins with different options and much better dbase handling, it will be love... ah and a nice 3D front end and inter-module messaging system and...) Don't argue with the founder of Greek Off-Topic Community about taking a thread off-topic. I cannot help it! My webshots album (contains the old version of my HTPC setup too)
