I think there should be an option to configure some other remote control buttons to trigger the MP Tray to do tasks when MP is not running. For example, I would like an option to switch to a different monitor (but I guess making the tasks configurable is better).
I'm running MP on a PC with 2 monitors.
Every time I go to the living room to start MP with the remote, I first need to switch displays. (I also use MP on the other monitor when programming and debugging)
At first, I used WIN+P.
Then I found out there are switches that can be used with its executable DisplaySwitch.exe (under system32 folder).
So I created scripts, but still I need to use the keyboard before using the remote.
Anyone else would like to see this feature?

Edit:
Well, took me a couple of minutes but managed to do it myself.
Code of mediaportal\MPTray\program.cs in the next post.
No patch file, since I'm still not a GIT pro.
I'll be glad if someone help me create a patch and submit it properly...
Would appreciate if someone from the development team contact me regarding this.

Code:
Switches to External or "Projector" Display Immediately
[B][I]DisplaySwitch.exe /external[/I][/B]
Switches to "Computer only" Display Immediately
[B][I]DisplaySwitch.exe /internal[/I][/B]
Switches to "Duplicate" Display Immediately

Switches to "Extend" Display Immediately
