I was wondering, Since I have all my Movies in the MovingPictures plugin, and misc videos in the MyVideos Section. Is there a way to fool MP into going to MovingPictures instead of MyVideos when the 'Watch a Movie' button is pressed on the remote. I have a harmony remote, but the button is assigned to MyVideos, and I couldn't find a way to enter the ID# for MovingPictures.

Thanks for any assistance.

I think I found it... Thanks for the clue in https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/remotes-116/map-key-my-tv-series-33445/#post307348

<button name="My Videos" code="74"><action layer="0" condition="WINDOW" conproperty="6" command="ACTION" cmdproperty="18" sound="click.wav" /><action layer="0" condition="WINDOW" conproperty="2005" command="ACTION" cmdproperty="18" sound="click.wav" /><action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="WINDOW" cmdproperty="96742" sound="click.wav" /></button>

Last action line... change the cmdproperty="6" (MyVideos) to cmdproperty="96742" (MovingPictures)

<button name="My Videos" code="74">
<action layer="0" condition="WINDOW" conproperty="6" command="ACTION" cmdproperty="18" sound="click.wav" />
<action layer="0" condition="WINDOW" conproperty="2005" command="ACTION" cmdproperty="18" sound="click.wav" />
<action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="WINDOW" cmdproperty="6" sound="click.wav" />
</button>

you might want to change to

<button name="My Videos" code="74">
<action layer="0" condition="WINDOW" conproperty="[B]96472[/B]" command="ACTION" cmdproperty="18" sound="click.wav" />
<action layer="0" condition="WINDOW" conproperty="2005" command="ACTION" cmdproperty="18" sound="click.wav" />
<action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="WINDOW" cmdproperty="[B]96742[/B]" sound="click.wav" />
</button>

personally i have it set to

<button name="My Videos" code="74">
<action layer="0" condition="WINDOW" conproperty="96472" command="WINDOW" cmdproperty="2005" sound="click.wav" />
<action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="WINDOW" cmdproperty="96742" sound="click.wav" />
</button>

or to use it as toggle between my videos and moving pictures try

<button name="My Videos" code="74">
<action layer="0" condition="WINDOW" conproperty="96472" command="WINDOW" cmdproperty="6" sound="click.wav" />
<action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="WINDOW" cmdproperty="96742" sound="click.wav" />
</button>

PS - You should back up the mapping .xml file before you change it, because after you change it, trying to edit the file in mediaportal config, can cause config to crash.

Thanks for that...

I made Config crash, too, just for giggles... Maybe it should be reported as a bug... reduces the flexibility of MediaPortal. As long as it is a valid entry (the plugin is present) We should be able to redirect buttons to whereever.
