Restore Video after using Back button

Adam B. · 2008-01-22, 04:48

When I use the back button on my Media Center remote, it will send the video into the lower left hand corner of the screen. The problem is, I'm not able to maximize that video without using the mouse. I've searched through all the button mappings, and I can't seem to find what command or function restores the video to full screen again.

Am I missing something? It shouldn't be this difficult...

Hi Adam
If you are using Microsofts remote, its the red button at the bottom that switches between fullscreen and normal skin mode. Otherwise you can map a button to a command called: Action and set it to "Show GUI".
That should do it.

Thanks for the feedback! I had this problem too! There should be an 'easier' way (I guess that would be a feature request), to be like MCE (gack), and arrow down to that small video window and press enter.

But your solution, hopefully works (gotta go test it.. ) Thanks!

You're right about a easier way to step with arrows, but if I am not mistaken I think that is a skin issue and should be doable modding a skin.
We'll se.

Yeah it's a skin thing.. You would have to edit the 'ondown' line for each controll near the bottom in the relevant screens.

I'm using a Harmony 720 emulating the Microsoft remote. The "Show GUI" command was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a bunch!
