I have been using Winlirc for quite some time now and I think with this plugin MP now has another important feature.I use a One For All "Kameleon" 6in1 remote that I have programmed with a code that gives me all the butons I need for MP. I had previously used this setup for the German version of Meedio "TVCentral" but since the product did not live up to my expectations I looked around some more and found MP <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> that I find very good with a lot of potential... As you have probably guessed I have run into some probs:1) It seems to hang MP with 100% CPU load when I use the remote to access some menu points that require Internet downloads. I have seen this behaviour on the weather module especially when I try to get the sat pic or change the city. It also happens when I try to open the News module. If I use th KB to perform the same actions it works. Then if I perform the same action with the remote it also works since the  sat pic  for example will already be in the cache I guess.2) The Space bar command (pause) does not work in the Music or Video module. When I press the corresponding key on the remote nothing happens and I loose control over MP through the remote. KB will still work ok. to re-gain remote control I have to re-start MP.3) Some functions do not work on the remote while they work on the KB: "R" for rotating images, "Y" for adding to the playlist, "X" for OSD controls if I try to use these nothing happens but I can still use all other keys. The "s" key for changing aspect ratio works fine though. I have verified that these keys have been assigned with the test function you provide.4) The control of MP through the remote seems to be tied to the focus of the app. When I bring e.g. task manager to the front I can control it with the remote instead.Requests:a) I think that the buttons "learn" and "test" in the plug-in config setion should be mutually exclusive. I  have often forgotten to switch off "test" before re-learning a new function.b) an extra column that shows the winlirc code currently assigned to a function would be helpful because I could then see what buttons are already asigned without using the test function. Also see belowQuestion:Is it really necessary to assign a speciffic code more than once? e.g. the Y has many functions but I figure that if it has been assigned to one of them it will also automatically work for the others.  If this is the case I would group the functions differently:column 1 = blank if no code has been assigned otherwise show the assigned winlirc code e.g. "Sony REW"column 2 = Key on the KBcolumn 3  = function for generalcolumn 3+n = function for module nn = 1....x where x is the number of plugins/modules installedThat's it for now again thanks for all the hard work I'll be happy to test a new version...cheershtpcman</blockquote>
