[QUOTE="slammo, post: 202484, member: 59685"] Hi, it's me again. Got my own little thread going on here, don't I?. If I'm wasting space on a topic that has been covered, or this is something that everyone else already knows about, I apologize. Feel free to purge this. Otherwise maybe someone else can benefit from my learnings. I was finally able to figure out what to do to get this resolved - first off, the X10 key codes for the Firefly that I have are different than what is being included as part of the Firefly profile. I had to go in and re-learn quite a few of the buttons. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but as an example the numeric 0-9 buttons had different "Current X10 Key" values assigned to them than what showed up when I I went through and programmed or learned each one. Maybe there are different versions of the Firefly out there? Mine is an RF version, not an IR. Anyways, after re-learning the buttons I still was not getting the correct results. I could not skip chapters and the up/down or left/right arrow usage was causing MP to freeze while the DVD played on. While a DVD is playing I realized that the F7 and F8 keys on the keyboard performed the same functionality I was looking for (Next and Previous chapters). So I figured it was just a matter of figuring out how to assign these keys to the buttons on the remote. I messed around with Girder and EventGhost before finally realizing I could do it all in the MP configuration. I used the excellent KeyBoardInputPlugin plugin to identify which numeric codes were being passed via the F7 and F8 keys (118 and 119 respectively). With that information I was able to add a condition to the Up and Down buttons, specifically for a new DVD playback layer. I had to make sure the new condition was first in the list. The layer is for "all", the condition is for "DVD is Playing" and the Action is "Key Pressed". I put the codes in BOTH boxes (118 in both boxes for Prev which I assigned to Up arrow, and 119 for Next which I assigned to the Down arrow). I saved the configuration and tested it out - happyhappy joyjoy! So then I went ahead and assigned the same condition to the SKIP_UP and SKIP_DN actions, which I had assigned to the to the Prev (|<<_) and Next (>>|) keys on the remote, and those are now working too. I'm so pleased with myself. I will eventually go in and assign codes to the left and right arrows which will prevent accidentally hitting these buttons and causing the remote and MP to stop responding during DVD playback . But for now, I award myself 4 attaboys for excellent problem solving skills and customer support. [/QUOTE]
