firefly and zoomplayer

[stein]

Hi

I'm new to the firefly remote control. First of all let me say that it works well on my computer. However zoomplayer (version 4.03) is my prefered dvd player, and I have a few questions regarding this. How can I get zoomplayer to open the main menu (rootmenu) of a dvd when I press the menu button on the firefly? The button's default setting seems to "be open file". I need it to open the main menu on dvd's. I am also wondering if it's possible to configure the "next" and "back" buttons to skip to the next and last chapter instead of jumping 20 seconds forth and back ?

Hi

Status so far is that I assigned the letter Q as a keyboard shortcut in zoomplayer so that pressing this key takes me to the root menu when I press it during playback in zoomplayer. I then tried changing the setting for the menu button in the profile file for zoomplayer, but this did not work. The default setting in the profile file is ";", and I changed it to "Q". Am I missing something or is it not possible to achieve what I want ?

Post your profile here ( or the snippet you changed) and I'll look at it.

Hello

After I assigned the letter "Q" as the keyboard shortcut in zoomplayer to take me to the main menu, the profile file for zoomplayer now looks like:

<Actions Button="Menu" Description="Main Menu">
<KeyAction Keys="Q" ActivationState="DownRepeat" />
</Actions>

Hope you can point me in the right direction.

Got it. There is already a mapping for the menu key in the zoom player profile. You need to remove it as well.

Ok, so the code I wrote in my previous post is ok, but I'm not able to find any other code for the "main menu" in the zoom player profile that I have to erase. could you please explain this in detail. Thank you for your help so far.

There is already a mapping for the menu button in the zoom player profile:

<Actions Button="Menu" Description="Open File">
<KeyAction Keys="o" ActivationState="DownRepeat" />
</Actions>

You need to remove the above lines of xml and replace it with your xml

<Actions Button="Menu" Description="Main Menu">
<KeyAction Keys="Q" ActivationState="DownRepeat" />
</Actions>

Hi

I have erased the code I am supposed to, an replaced with my own (previous post). But it still doesn't work. When I press the menu button i zoom player the message in the upper right corner appears, telling me something like "zoomplayer root menu" but nothing happens. The dvd just keeps playing, Should I post my entire profile for zoom player ?

Hey

I think I just figured it out. I had to write "q" instead of "Q". That seemed to do the trick ! This also worked for re- mapping the skip forward an back buttons. Thanks for all your help. Do you have a tutorial for mapping the a b c d buttons ?
