Using the back button to exit MP... (or using 'Clear' to exit)

wkim75 · 2008-08-10, 00:22

MediaPortal Version: 1.0.0.0 RC2
MediaPortal Skin: Core Reloaded
Windows Version: XP_Pro SP3+
CPU Type: Intel Q6600 (Core2Quad) 3.0GHz
Memory: 2GB OCZ ReaperHPC DDR2-800
Motherboard: Asus Maximus Formula
Video Card: HD2600XT (xFire)
Video Card Driver: 8.7
Sound Card: ATIHD2600XT_Onboard_HDMI
Sound Card AC3: ATIHD2600_HDMI_rear_out
MPEG2 Video Codec: ffdshow
MPEG2 Audio Codec: ffdshow
h.264 Video Codec: CoreAVC1.6,ffdshow
Power Supply: PC-P&C Silencer 750Q
Remote: MS MCE (oem) rc6, Onkyo RC-710M
TV: Samsung HL-S5687W 1080p DLP
TV - HTPC Connection: DVI

So I've got pretty much all the functionality of my Onkyo RC-710M remote working (in MCE emulation mode)...

The only button it doesn't have is the 'Power TV' (code 101) command to close MediaPortal...

Infact, I've run out of functional buttons that I can program...

So is there any way to get MP, when it's at its homescreen, to exit when the back button is pushed?

Alternatively.. I noticed the only other button I had was 'Clear' (in the logs) but it's not recognized as doing anything. I *think* it's code=10, but I can't be certain...

I tried adding...

Code:

<button name="Clear" code="10">
 <action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="POWER" cmdproperty="EXIT" sound="back.wav" />
</button>

But the logs still show:

Code:

MCE: Incoming button command: Clear
MCE: Command "Clear" not mapped
[MPMain]: Windowmanager: Goto previous window

Any thoughts on what I can do to get MP to exit with either:
- 'back' button on homescreen
- 'clear' button

Thanks!
Will

In MP config remotes, how is your remote enabled as, ie mce, x10 etc, that may be the only way someone who has not got the remote may be able to help.

Yep, it's configured as an MCE remote in MP Configuration.
My Onkyo remote is emulating MCE with a working Microsoft remote code.

It's more about how to configure (xml-wise) the 'back' button to exit MP from the homescreen. (or the 'clear' button in MCE, I suppose)

Thanks,
Will
