First, I should point out I am fairly new to Remote Buddy and the Mac in general so there probably is an easy solution to my problem.
Is it possible to create a custom action consisting of multiple keystrokes (a sort of macro)?
Here is my situation. I am using DVDpedia in fullscreen mode as the front end to my Mac Mini video server. All my movies are linked to the corresponding VIDEO_TS folder. When I select a particular movie in DVDpedia it launches in DVD Player. This part works fine.
What I am wondering about is what is the best way to pass control back to DVDpedia when I am finished watching the movie, or if I just want to stop the movie before it is completed?
Currently I have Remote Buddy set up to issue a command-Q when I press and hold the remote's Menu button. This quits from DVD Player and returns focus to DVDpedia which remained in the background while the movie was playing.
The above works, but I would like to know if there is a way to pass control back to DVDpedia without having to exit from DVD Player? When I am finished watching a movie I thought it might be better to simply close the movie file, but leave DVD Player open in fullscreen mode, then return focus back to DVDpedia.
I tried creating a custom action containing a series of 2 keystrokes. The first issues a command-shift-W to close the open movie file and the second issues a command-H which hides DVD Player (in essence reactivating DVDpedia). I can't get this 2 step action to work.
Is this a valid approach, or is there a better solution?
Thank you in advance for any information anyone may be able to provide.
