[QUOTE="DGalt, post: 821534, member: 108577"] Version: MP 1.2.1 Skin: StreamedMP running on Windows 7 Home Premium machine I'm in the process of setting up a universal remote for all my components, and for the most part I've gotten everything working with MP (all the basic functionality works)...so now I'm at the "quality of life" issues that I could use some help with. The most apparent thing right now is to generate a key that allows me to pull up whatever is currently playing into fullscreen. So, for example, if you're watching a video file and hit "Back" (or exit, or escape, whatever), the file minimizes and keeps playing, allowing you to navigate through the menus. The only way that I've found be able to get to this without having to use a mouse to actually click on the minimized video is to go all the way back the root menu, go into the Shutdown menu (the one that says "Exit MP," etc.) and then keep toggling over until the minimized video gets highlighted. As you can imagine, this takes about a dozen or so key clicks, which is a bit excessive. So is there any "Bring currently playing to fullscreen" key command anywhere that I can map into my remote? It can be a keyboard shortcut, since I can map those into my remote, or even some type of script (I'm using intelliremote so this is easily done), but anything that will shorten this process to one key click would be awesome.
