[QUOTE="DranDane, post: 261738, member: 48601"] Improve the navigation in MP menus Look at a common remote the common buttons are Play/Pause (or a Play button and a Pause button) Stop Fast forwards Fast rewind Next chapter Previous chapter Record Left arrow Right arrow Bottom arrow Up arrow Enter Back And that's all. A remote has not left click button, right click button, double click funtions. Some remote has colored buttons, a green special button, some shortcuts to change the input mode or DVD languages... But all this are specialities. Now look at the minimum required orders of MP. We can divide these orders in two groups: menu navigation, media navigation. Play Pause Stop Fast forwards Fast rewind Next chapter Previous chapter Record Left Right Bottom Up Enter Options Back Now a map with comments in red: Play/Pause (or a Play button and a Pause button) --> Play (media) & Pause (media) --> OK Stop --> Stop (media) --> OK Fast forward --> Fast forward (media) --> OK Fast rewind --> Fast rewind (media) --> OK Next chapter --> Next chapter (media) --> OK [COLOR="Red"]but doesn't work in a video clip[/COLOR] Previous chapter --> Previous chapter (media) --> OK [COLOR="Red"]but doesn't work in a video clip[/COLOR] Record --> Record (media) --> (no comment, never tested) Left arrow --> Left (menu) --> OK [COLOR="Red"]but left arrow is also used to jump forward in a video.
