ShortCut'er Plugin - Shortcuts for the MP sections (2 Viewers)

[Quarter]

Hi, first make sure you have the correct pluggin and no other versions are present in the plugins/process directory. You need this one. ShortCuter-MP1.2.0+ compatible.rar. Extract the .rar and place the .dll file here "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\process" verify manually that the file is there and no other versions are present.

Then..

- Open MP config and goto the plugins section.
. Right click the plugin and select disabled (to enable).
- Right click again and goto configuration.
- For each shortcut you want to make, give it a name so you know what its for in the first column.
- In the second column put the key you want to use so "t" or "v" or "m" (if you are putting capitals in there try lower case).
- For the third column you need the ID. So in your skins folder find the .xml for the section you want to go to for example 'myvideos.xml' and open the file in a text editor (notepad etc). My location is "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Avallonis" but yours my be different. Near the top of the file you will see "id" e.g <id>6</id> so put 6 in the third column.
- Tick the CTRL check box.
- Click Update and Close.
- Click OK to close MP config.
- Open Mediaportal and try your shortcut.

Does it still not work? I just set up a shortcut to myvideos and it definately works. Also make sure you are actually using the plugins you want to goto ie you actually do use myvideos and not moving pictures for your movies for example..

Hi Thanks for your help. Just tried it on my laptop and it works as expected, Its the same as I set it up on the HTPC. So have to work out why my HTPC is different. Im using a wireless keyboard and a harmony remote with Imon software, It didn't work on the keyboard or the remote. I will check the letter case when I can get back on it. ( Mrs has taken over )

Regards

I suspect the lettercase if stopping it. Don't know about imon. I use a standard microsoft IR reciever and just use the microsoft infrared keyboard codes on my harmony to mimic keypresses.

I'm seeing lots of the below in my logs.. What is it?

Recently I started noticing the 'Working' graphic appearing whilst I was watching media, but I have nothing that could be working in the background other than powerscheduler++. Looking at the logs around the times I see the 'Working' graphic I have concentrations of these ShortCut'er logs.

 2012-03-21 20:01:04.561093 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: ShortCut'er - KeyPressed =  ( ShiftPressed = False, CtrlPressed  = False )
2012-03-21 20:01:04.564094 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: ShortCut'er - Key not mapped, no action taken.

I was no where near my keyboard and I have no problems typing with it so where are these key presses coming from??

I've attached my mediaportal log, check around the 2012-03-21 21:24:26.282176 timestamp..

Thanks

My "More Info" button does not seem to work in a few areas, My TV Series being the most annoying place.

In "Recorded TV" I can hit the more info button and it will allow me to delete the show etc but in My TVSeries it does nothing.

Anyone got any ideas what I should be doing? Is there maybe a Key and Skin-ID I should be using?

I installed all as per above descripton fm Thebatfink.
To navigate direct to movingpictures I want to use "mymovie button" on the imon but it doesn´t work. I tried different keys without succes.
Does anybody has an idea how to get it solved. (of course I have put the same key into imon manager)

Thanks

Improvement suggestion:
Is it perhaps possible to integrate hyperlink parameters for every key / shortcut ?

Would be a nice feature
