[QUOTE="emphatic, post: 1298742, member: 24365"] I don't have a TV card in my HTPC setup, so I really only use plugins that browse and show media files, like MP TV-Series, Moving Pictures, My Music and My Pictures. This leaves the Recorded TV, TV Schedule, Live TV buttons unused on my remote. [B]Suggestion[/B]: to reduce the amount of clicks on the remote control, instead of having to go to the Basic Home and then scrolling through the menu, being able to map ANY plugin that is installed on a system to a specific button on the physical remote would enable the user to go from say, Moving Pictures directly into Music or MP TV-Series with just one click. AFAIK, you can only map the first party plugins that ships with MediaPortal in the remote section. I don't have a plethora of plugins installed, and being able to reach the ones most commonly used by a single click would really enhance the user experience, don't you think? Or, is there a way to manually edit the remote mapping file and just insert the plugin ID in the correct place, and I've missed that? I remember suggesting this feature years ago, and I tried to find that thread, but I couldn't find it. Maybe MediaPortal is ready for this feature now? [/QUOTE]
