Hi,
According to the February 2009 Blog post (repeated at bottom) the default Plex Behavior is not built on keystrokes. Is this still true? While this appears to be a good thing I'm having difficulty correlating actions in the Plex default Behavior to Plex functionality. Since I'm using a HarmonyOne with multiple IDs I don't have a default mapping to my remote and must define each button myself. Is there an easy way to get more definition on each of the bundled actions? Specific questions include:
1) What is the difference between seemingly similar items such as 'Navigation: Select' and 'select'? Same question for 'Up', 'Down', 'Right', 'Left'.
2) Is there a different functionality between 'Navigation: Select' and 'Navigation: Select (hold)'? What precisely is different about these two? Same question for 'Up', 'Down', 'Right', 'Left'.
3) On their Plex website there is a key for "Toggle the rewind speed between normal play, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, and 32x" How can I know which option that is amongst the default Plex Behavior actions?
4) on their Plex website there is a key for "Go up a folder to the parent folder" How can I know which option that is amongst the default Plex Behavior actions? What about "Go back to the previous menu screen"?
5) What precisely is the difference between 'Fast Forward', 'skip forward', and 'step forward'? Which default Plex actions moves to the next chapter while playing a DVD (i.e. "Skip to the next item in a playlist").

A new generation of Behaviours for Boxee, Plex and XBMC
In the past, the Behaviours used keystrokes to control the three media center applications. While usually this is a robust way to control this type of application, it turned out to not be suitable here for a number of reasons...
To avoid all of these problems, the new Behaviours no longer use keystrokes to control Boxee, Plex and XBMC. Instead, the new Behaviours formulate and send button and action events directly to the media centers' built-in UDP event server. Essentially this means that media center actions can now be triggered directly by Remote Buddy. And the new Behaviours make plenty of use of these new possibilities. They all ship with a big set of actions ...
