Default Can you go direct to IMDB screen after selecting movie????

Can you go straight to IMDB screen after selecting movie????

I would love to be able to bring up a list of my movies, select a movie and the next screen i see would be the imdb screen with plots and all. then play the movie from this screen. At the moment all i can see to do is menu on the film and then imdb, is it possible to skip this step?

Ive done a little bit of programming before so id be willing to try it that way but i wouldnt know where to start.

First post here, And i would like to say how MASSIVLEY impressed i am with all your work, Ive tried evrything but this bit of kit just simply does EVERYTHING! i am amazed how quickly this project its improving and expanding! I just hope it will always stay open source and dont sell out like myHTPC did to meedio!!!

Software suggestion: auto search music share to collect coverart instaed of manually folder by folder? maybe set a flag to say coverart installed y/n and then skip these files from search for speed?

Hi,

you have to map this action on your remote. In earlier releases this was on the yellow button, but the mapping was changed because of the language subtitle switch.

What remote do you have?

I did map it to the blue button on my Hauppauge remote.
Configure->Remote->Hauppauge->mapping

Blue->No Condition (aspect ratio)
Change this to "Fullscreen"

Blue->New (No Condition)
Action: "Show Info"

This way switching to aspect ratio still works in fullscreen playback and you can access "Show Info" in the GUI.

HTH, Flip.
