Silly question for using MediaPortal with a MCE remote: when playing video fullscreen, pushing the "back" button will back out of full screen video and to the menu system. What button do I press to return to playing full screen video? The only way I have figured out to do this is to press stop, go back into the MP menus, and resume the video from there.

Thanks in advance...

    If your MCE remote has four coloured buttons at the bottom (the Teletext buttons), then you can use the red button to toggle full-screen mode. If you don't have the four coloured buttons, then you might be stuck ... :(

    Or press X or map a custom button or focus the little preview (skin dependent) and click it ;)

    Pressing X and clicking on the preview aren't really options - I don't keep a mouse or keyboard connected to my HTPC normally, just the MCE remote, which doesn't (unfortunately) have the colored buttons.

    I'd like to map a custom button, but which action should I assign to the button? "Toggle fullscreen" doesn't appear to be one of the options in the MP config.

    Thanks in advance, and thanks for MP - it's truly an amazing piece of software!

    You can use the cursor buttons on your remote to browse to the preview area and click "ok" on it ;)

    If my mind doesn't play tricks on me now, you should map it to: Action - Show GUI to alter between fullscreen and overview.

    RTV: The cursor buttons on the remote don't seem to work - I'm using the Project Mayhem III skin, and the cursor just rotates through the main menu options - the preview screen doesn't ever get highlighted.

    Solis66: the Action - Show GUI option did the trick. Thanks very much!
