[QUOTE="mr viggo, post: 364370, member: 68970"] This is just a quick tutorial for those who must rely on DXVA for playback of H.264 encoded files and needs subtitles for a full movie experience. I've been struggling with the MCE replacement driver and other IR software but can't get the hang of it so this was my solution. For the latest SVN of MPC-HC [URL="http://www.xvidvideo.ru/content/category/1/1/2/"]click here[/URL]. How to: Basically you want to be able to pause, play, stop, rwd, ffd, enable/disable subs, change subs, change the AR and bring the OSD up with your remote. First of all you must enable the external player in [B]MP > configuration > videos > video player [/B] In the ext. player box, browse for your MPC-HC .exe In the parameters box enter "%filename% /play /close", without the qoutes. This makes MPC close itself after playback and brings you back to MP. Now its time to configure the remote in MPC-HC. Open the player and press "o" to open up the options window. Go to: [B]player > keys.[/B] The buttons on the remote that I found so far that works are: play, pause, stop, skip, previous track, ffd, rwd, up, down, left right, back, record, pg up, pg dn, enter/select and all the numbers. There're probably more... but these are enough for now. Start with the "play" command. Under the column "app command" there's a drop down box with many options. Select MEDIA_PLAY to set the MCE remote play button to the command "play". Then continue to the command [B]"exit"[/B] and again, use the "app command" drop down box to select MEDIA_STOP. This closes the player and brings you back to MP. Next, do the same with the pause command and select MEDIA_PAUSE. Now we need to be able to use skip steps. MPC has 3 different skip steps that can be set in MPC-HC's options under: "Tweeks". Set your preferred time on small, medium and large steps. If you set the small step to 15000 ms that means that you skip 15 sec every time you press that button. Back to the keys settings in MPC. Under "jump forward (small)" enable, for example, the right button on your remote by selecting VK_RIGHT under the"[B]Key[/B]" column. Make sure that you have set the modifier column to "none". While you're at it do the same for "Jump backward (small)", but enable the left button (VK_LEFT) this time. The medium step can be mapped to "ffd/rwd" by selecting MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD and MEDIA_REWIND, under the "app command" column. The large steps can be mapped to "skip/prev" by selecting MEDIA_NEXTTRACK and MEDIA_PREVIOUSTRACK in the "app command" column. [COLOR="Red"][I]Note: be sure that you've set the correct column. "Key" or "app command"[/I][/COLOR] By this time you should get a hang of it. The keys that you do next is the "on/off subtitle", "next subtitle", "next AR preset" (These ARs can be configured in MPC to your liking) and the "remaning time" wich brings up the ugly OSD. Basically you can set any command in MPC to a button on your remote. For the remaining keys this is what needs to be done under the "app command" column: ch. up: MEDIA_CHANNEL_UP ch. dn: MEDIA_CHANNEL_DOWN prev/back: BROWSER_BACK This is also the column where you set the volume controls (if used) with: MEDIA_VOLUME_UP/DOWN and MUTE And under the "key" column these are the corresponding commands (be sure to set the modifier column to "none" under all. numbers: 1,2,3... (do not use VK_NUMPAD#) arrows: VK_UP/DOWN enter/select: VK_RETURN [/QUOTE]
