Closing external movie player (1 Viewer)

I mapped one of the buttons on my remote to the keys alt+f4. I got an iMon remote, but it might work on your remote aswell.
I have a MCE Remote and from all my googling, it seems that I would need to use HIP to map a new key. ALthough HIP seems like total overkill!
I dont suppose someone could modify the MPTray application to do this? As MPTray currently picks up the green button and loads MP, could it be modified so that pressing the green button always closes the current app then swaps to MP? or maybe picks up another keypress?
An easy way to get back from external apps would really make the MP experience a bit more slick.
Oh and while im thinking up ideas.. how about an option to mute and stop any playing video when MP is in the background? so you dont have to worry about stopping things before loading an external app
so many ideas.. I should brush up on my .NET and sort some of this out myself!

I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback.
Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)

Hello Folks,
Is it possible to enable MP to resume in an External Player, where it left off ?
I guess the question also is, can...
Hi.
I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database".
Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

Fixed, I think.
Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this.
Last time when I installed the...

I compliment you on the thoroughness of your investigations. (y)
Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas what the problem might be. :(
Perhaps someone else will post with some suggestions. :unsure:

4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
