[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1263338, member: 141969"] My impression is that the MP skin engine was designed with a particular style of use in mind. Provided the skin author adheres rigidly to this expected style of use, the skin engine works well. But as soon as the skin author deviates from that style of use, the skin engine no longer works, or it does something unexpected. I am not aware of any way of starting MP on the "Scheduler" panel. I think that the best that you can do is to define a button on the remote to display the "Scheduler" panel. I have the BLUE button defined to do this, and I can use this button from anywhere within MP (including the "Home" panel, of course). I also would like to do this, but hyperlinks don't seem to work. I think that this may be because "Active Recordings" is not a true panel. An elegant solution might be to add a remote-control function that would display the "Active Recordings" dialogue. There are already other dialogues that can be displayed via the remote control (e.g. the "Exit MP" dialogue), so this solution would be consistent with existing MP conventions. I don't know how complicated it would be to add this capability. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
