[QUOTE="and-81, post: 129214, member: 11844"] Hey, I hope I can answer some of your questions and if there's anything that could be added to make the plugin better just say so and I'll see what I can do. 1. HIP posts the message to MediaPortal, it passes the message to any plugins that register for messages (implement the IPluginReceiver interface). 2. So yeah, MediaPortal is listening, but I don't know which ones (if any) it would respond to. 3. Not really, but because it can map the messages through the MediaPortal input handler you can do anything that MediaPortal lets other remotes do. If that makes sense. If you'd like more control over MediaPortal there's two ways to get it. We can either add new commands to the plugin, or we can try to get more inputr handler commands put into MediaPortal. It sort of depends on what you want as to which way we go. I'm not really sure if MediaPortal already has what you're asking for, but you should try to familiarise yourself with the input handler / mapper and see if you can get it to do what you want there. If not, there is a function in my MCE Replacement plugin for jumping to screens in macros, maybe I could put that in the message plugin too (if it's not already there, I can't remember and I'm not on my development pc right now). Hope that helps, [/QUOTE]
