Can't find a way to close the tray, only eject it. Found a exe-file that could work, but don't know how to run it with one single touch with my mce remote.

    MCE Replacement plugin lets you launch executables from your MCE remote (amongst other things).

    Cheers,

    I use the EXE mapped to the red teletext button on my MCE remote. It works great!
    (I say that 'tongue in cheek' as I wrote the EXE, haha)

    It does do the job though. Funnilly enough, I have noticed that sometimes if MP is not responding, opening and closing the CD tray with the EXE, brings MP back to life!?
    Odd eh?

    cheers,

    Hi,

    I would like to be able to open/close the dvd tray with my remote. I have downloaded the 'CD/DVD Opener & Closer' utility + the 'MCE Replacement Plugin'. The utility works from withing the MCE replacement plugin as a macro but I cannot find a way to map this 'command' or macro to a button.

    Can anyone help me please?
    :D

    The layout of remotes does vary from one model/brand to another. I too find that some layouts are better than others. Generally, I prefer the buttons that I use most-frequently to be positioned near the center of the remote, which is not the case with that particular Dell remote. :( Battery life is often a problem. A remote that I...
