Button mapping for direct MP-TVSeries access (1 Viewer)

[geode]

I've searched the forums, but haven't figured out if this is possible. I'm using a Microsoft MCE remote with Mediaportal. I use the MP-TVSeries plugin almost exclusively, and I'd like to configure a button on the remote to directly launch the MP-TVSeries plugin when the button is pushed.

Is it possible to assign an action to the effect of "launch the MP-TVSeries plugin GUI" when a particular remote button is pressed? If so, what commands are necessary in the MP Config?

Thanks in advance!

Yes it s possible just use shortcutter plugin

I looked at the shortcutter plugin thread, and it looks like it can only be used for keyboard button presses, not unassigned remote button presses.

I'd like to assign the "yellow" MCE remote button to launch the "MP-TVSeries" plugin

Assign a key shorctut with shortcutter and then assign the key to a button of your remote.

Ok, I've got the shortcutter plugin set to assign the button press of the number 9 to the MP-TVSeries plugin screen, and in the MCE remote mappings I have the "yellow" button assigned to the number 9.

Problem is, pressing the yellow button doesn't bring up the MP-TVSeries plugin. The command is being received, but isn't doing anything. What am I doing wrong?

I am not sure you can do this from within MP.
First you shouldnt assign TVSeries to the number 9, 9 should be used to do "9"... Instead you should use something like Ctrl+Alt+T or V.

Second as i said i am not sure you can do that from MP, what you did is map the yellow button to the action "9" of MP which should when you are in a list brings you to the letter w. You need to use an application to control your remote and order it to send the keystroke "Ctrl+Alt+v" . You can do this with IR server Suite

I manually edit the InputMappings xml so that the "Recorded TV" button on "No Condition" points at window id 9811 (the window ID for MP-TVSeries).

You can do exactly the same for the yellow button.
