New user - how to maximize "playing now". (1 Viewer)

[Mantis]

I use MCE remote with standard mappings and MP 0.2.2 with Blue skin (standard). When watching TV/Video in full screen and returning to MP main menu, the tv is resized to a small window in the lower left corner - my problem is I cannot (with the remote) select this small window so it can be maximized again. In MCE/MCE-vista this was done by using up/down/left/right.

How is this done in MP?

Thanks
Mantis

Use the "Red" button for toggling

Thank you for the ultra quick answer!

I assume you mean the "Record buttom" - never would have guesed that

No - the RED button towards the bottom of the MCE remote - unles you have a USA version which doesn't have the 4 coloured buttons at the bottom ...

btw: it's "x" on the keyboard

Ahh, that red buttom - thanks

What if you have a newer remote without the red button?

Newer remotes have the button too. The only remotes that don't have it are the US versions.
If you don't have it, you will need to try Aaron's excellent MCE Replacement plugin and dll and map the "enter" or "Clear" key or something like that.
If there is a regular button that you want to map you can do that in the built in MCE configuration in MP config/remote.

I was wondering why I did not have this button and others were mentioning it (I have a USA version which does not have the buttons). Looks like I will be searching out the MCE replacement plugin so I can do this keyboard mapping. Thanks for the tips Marcus!! and Aaron thanks for making the plugin!!

I am so close to having an excellent system. Once the remote is set, and I can get some stable versions running well MP becomes the perfect software for media.
