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 love how subtitles are implemented in the MP2 videoplayer, this is just perfect. 1080p playback is also very good. But video playback in MP2 is buggy when playing 4k material. Therefore: PLEASE add an option for an external video player! I'd LOVE to have VLC back as videoplayer, like in MP1! This works perfectly. You will make a...

Interesting. :coffee:
I always have DVB subtitles enabled in "MP Config", but I actually switch on subtitles only for those films that have deafening sound effects and music, combined with inaudible dialogue. I have never noticed the problem that you have described, but I also use the EVR renderer, and not the Madvr renderer. So...
