[QUOTE="nordemoniac, post: 684311, member: 101472"] Ok guys, please bare with me; :ooops: I'm on MP version 1.1.1. I have set MediaPortal to boot with the computer, but not start the GUI, and close only the GUI on exit, minimizing MP to the statusbar. I like the idea of always having MediaPortal available in a second. On my remote I can send any kind of button, even combined. So what I normally do is create a shortcut to MP, then set that to a button on the remote. In addition, the remote has a button that sends "ALT + F4", which of course means "close active application." The thing is; How can I restore MP from the icon in the statusbar? If I start MP the first time using the remote (if it's not started at all), then exit the GUI with the "ALT + F4 button", MP will still be running in the statusbar, and you can doubleclick it to open the GUI again, and continue watching TV - in a second! BUT! If I use the remote for starting the MP shortcut, it will not resume the already open MP session in the statusbar, but open a new MP session, where the TV is paused, and there is no sound. If I close it, then doubleclick the icon at the statusbar, it will continue at whatever point it has comed to, it's not paused, and the sound is there - which is what I want. In other words; Is there ANY way I can assign a button on my remote for clicking "Restore" on the statusbar icon? Please tell me there's a way. I hate using the mouse... [/QUOTE]
