February 9, 201412 yr comment_6136 Having trouble trying to program Play and Pause for Windows Media Center. i seem to be able to program all functionality, except for these 2. GUI says "recorded successfully", but when i try to use the buttons, nothing happens. I've also tried using different buttons on the remote (ie not Play & Pause on the remote), but with the same result. I've tried 2 different remote controls, i'm able to program all functionality i need, except for Play and Pause. flirc firmware: 2.3 flirc gui: 1.2.2 remotes used: Tivo (series 2) and Samsung Smart TV remote any ideas?

February 9, 201412 yr Author comment_6138 Fast Forward & Rewind work fine, Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter, Mute, Home all ok. Basically everything except for Play & Pause Report
February 10, 201412 yr comment_6141 Have you tried just using CTRL+P on the full keyboard GUI? Here's a list of WMC keyboard shortcuts. I didn't know about Win+Alt+Enter, that one's pretty cool. Report
February 11, 201412 yr Author comment_6152 i'm trying to not have to use a keyboard, just a single existing remote. Flirc seemed cool that i could use an existing remote. And it's working great, mostly, right up until i fast fwd the ads, but can't stop it by pressing "Play", or using "Pause". Report
February 11, 201412 yr comment_6153 there is a problem with windows media center, I'll try and address that shortly, but I'm tied up. I believe it has something to do with the ctrl+p, the ctrl needs to be sent, and then the p. I send them simultaneously. A bit ridiculous, but it's on my list of stuff to fix. Report
February 11, 201412 yr Author comment_6156 that sort of makes sense ... sorta. happy to help sort this out when you have time. appreciate it. Report

And it's working great, mostly, right up until i fast fwd the ads, but can't stop it by pressing "Play", or using "Pause". I think you missed the "GUI" portion there. I was suggesting to, instead of using the WMC interface that already has the media keys where you simply select Play/Pause and press the button on your remote, that you go to the Full Keyboard layout in the Flirc GUI and try programming your keys from there and see if it works better. I was not suggesting that you use an actual keyboard. Report
February 11, 201412 yr comment_6159 I actually have a similar problem. Though mine is for the INFO button and the SKIP BACK and SKIP FWD commands. Initially I couldn't program PLAY or PAUSE either like the OP and just like Deadpool suggested, programming via the "full keyboard" layout in the GUI fixed that. Unfortunately this didn't work for my other buttons. This makes using MediaBrowser very difficult as it doesn't seem to use the standard Rewind of Fast-Forward commands but uses Skip Back and Skip Forward. So I essentially have no easy way to navigate when using it. Is the 2.3 firmware relatively new? I feel like I'm on 2.2 but will have to check when I get home, could this have fixed the issue? Report
February 12, 201412 yr Author comment_6161 "gui" keyboard made all the difference! got it all sorted, thanks all. and yes, the wmc keyboard shortcuts are pretty cool. Report
February 12, 201412 yr comment_6162 what were the shortcuts you programmed? I'd like to update the wmc controller if it makes sense. Report
February 12, 201412 yr comment_6166 Play = Ctrl+Shift+P Pause = Ctrl+P Would you mind seeing if you can get the following commands working for you: Skip Back = Ctrl+B Skip Forward = Ctrl+F Shortcut Menu = Ctrl D Report
February 12, 201412 yr comment_6167 what were the shortcuts you programmed? I'd like to update the wmc controller if it makes sense. I think one of the key ones missing: The "Green Button" command = Windows Key+Alt+Enter Live TV = Ctrl+T Recorded TV = Ctrl+O I programmed them in the Full Keyboard layout, but if you look into adding to the Windows Media keyboard those would be helpful. Report
February 12, 201412 yr Author comment_6169 i was able to get a buttons working for: Windows Key+Alt+Enter (mega!) Live TV = Ctrl+T Recorded TV = Ctrl+O Guide = Ctrl+G but not Skip Back = Ctrl+B Skip Forward = Ctrl+F Shortcut Menu = Ctrl+D Report
February 12, 201412 yr comment_6170 i was able to get a buttons working for: Windows Key+Alt+Enter (mega!) Live TV = Ctrl+T Recorded TV = Ctrl+O Guide = Ctrl+G but not Skip Back = Ctrl+B Skip Forward = Ctrl+F Shortcut Menu = Ctrl+D Same exact thing for me, thanks for checking it out. Jason, is there anything that can be done to fix this? These are tough not to have when playing MKV files in MediaBrowser3 since the standard MCE "Rewind" and "Fast Forward" don't work and you have to use "Skip Back" or "Skip Forward." I'd rather not rely on a separate keyboard for this. The Info button is a really hard one not to have. Report
February 12, 201412 yr comment_6171 How about the media keys? Do those work? They have ff and next track previous track and rewind Report
February 12, 201412 yr comment_6173 How about the media keys? Do those work? They have ff and next track previous track and rewind Wow, thanks! Using the Media Keys keyboard got the Skip Back (Previous) and Skip Forward (Next Track) working! Any suggestions for the Info command (Ctrl+D)? Also known as the "Shortcut Menu" in WMC. Report
March 18, 201412 yr comment_6552 I'd like to also confirm that play, stop & pause do not seem to work in media center (firmware 2.3 ui 1.2.2). I tried the media center binding page and also the media keys binding page to no avail. Fast forward, and backwards seems to work fine. Setting up the those keys through the full keyboard page does work. Edited March 18, 201412 yr by blah1 Report
