[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1096637, member: 141969"] Did you find a solution to this? I assumed that I had made an error in customising the definitions for the MCE remote control, so this afternoon I reset the definitions to default and had another attempt, but without success (same error as before). This time I was using MP 1.8.0 and the aMPed skin. I was trying to set up the remote control to mimic as closely as possible the buttons in Windows Media Center, and I would surmise that you were doing the same (where the FORWARD and REWIND buttons cause the EPG to scroll right or left by 3 hours). I first selected FORWARD and REWIND from the actions listed, but they had the problem you described. Then I tried quite a few of the other actions that looked as though they might apply (MUSIC_NEXT, NEXT_ITEM, NEXT_CHAPTER, NEXT_TELETEXTPAGE, etc.). Some did nothing, while others behaved the same as FORWARD and REWIND. Two observations: (1) Some of the actions would cause the playback of recorded TV to speed up (either forwards or reverse), but did nothing when in the EPG with the thumbnail TV screen visible (the actions did not affect replay, but did not affect the EPG either). So using the "TVGUIDE window" as the filter does seem to work. (2) I tried connecting a keyboard and using the keyboard short cuts directly, having reset the MCE remote control definition to default. Remarkably, the F5 and F6 keys did what we want -- they scroll the EPG horizontally by 3 hours [i]without[/i] affecting playback of recorded TV in the thumbnail TV screen. So, the required functions do exist (somewhere), but just not in the default set-up for the MCE remote. Also, the actions available to set up the remote do not seem to include the functions corresponding to F5 and F6. Yes. I set up the SKIP_FORWARD and SKIP_BACKWARD buttons (">|" and "|<") on the remote control to scroll the EPG horizontally by 24 hours, and that [i]does[/i] work, with no adverse side effects. There is an action that you can select from the list, so you just need to choose a button on the remote control to assign the action to. The STOP button might not be such a good idea, as it currently stops playback of video in the thumbnail TV screen (either live TV, recorded TV, or video). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
