[Approved] Jump to music now playing (1 Viewer)

[jameson_uk]

This is a simple patch to set a global action to jump to music now playing screen.

I have set this to Z (only other use I can find of this key is previous channel in TV) but obviously this is a simple change if there an issue with this.

The only thing to note is that jump will only work if something is playing and it is music

Fixed in SVN 26728.

What is the difference to "Show OSD"? It shows "Now Playing" on my MP.

What do you mean by Show OSD? The ACTION_SHOW_OSD does not do this and I could not see any other action.

How are you getting to music now playing?

I use a Microsoft remote and at least there you can map an action "Show OSD GUI" (default is the "Red" button, if you have one). This action shows "Now Playing" when playing music or switches video to fullscreen.

are you actually using 1.1 beta like it says in your system specs? I am fairly sure this behaviour was changed in one of the RCs. Certainly now pressing red on my MCE remote does not take me to music now playing.

edit: just noticed you have changed the default mapping which is "show GUI" to "show OSD" but this still does not bring up now playing screen.

Sorry, I just updated my system specs, I use version 1.1.1.
And I had it wrong with OSD, I just looked up and it is "Show GUI" and works like I described. I tried also Blue3 skin, it works. Maybe a plugin is enabling / disabling this action?

The red button on the mce remote should take you to music now playing, however pressing red button again will not take you back to previous screen. Compare to playing video, where red button toggles between full screen and gui mode.
