Change MCE Remote behaviour when MP is not in focus (1 Viewer)

[PureLoneWolf]

Hi all

I am not sure if this is possible, but thought I would ask anyway.

Essentially, I have my HTPC built and the remote is working fantastically well with MP. I have added a plugin that keeps MP in the background and launches a Windows application...then brings MP back to focus when I close the application. The application in question is SopCast and I would like, when MP is no longer on screen, to allow the MCE Remote to move the mouse cursor etc. and then revert back to normal behaviour when I close SopCast.

Is this something that should be possible?

I seem to recall there being a way to get the Microsoft MCE Remote to control the cursor on screen when in Windows, but I am not sure how to go about this...especially without affecting the behaviour in MP.

Many thanks

Hi there

I think you can use the Translator component of IRSS to accomplish that.

Thanks, I'll give it a go

If you haven't achieved this already, perhaps EventGhost will help you as I think you can set it up to make the remote buttons send different commands depending on which app has focus.
