Jumping to direct to sub menu's

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

Hi,

First of, great piece of software, I'm fairly new to the remote experience and was hoping that front row would solve all my music browsing problems, but unfortunately, the program is useless, however thankfully, that meant i stumbled upon Remote buddy!

What i am trying to achieve is this. I like to view my albums using coverflow (its a much nicer way of picking music than trying to pick out an album/track from a scrolling list of text), however once i have picked an album, i want to delve deeper into it to pick a specific track for instance.

My first foray's into this where to try and use a custom action to activate Front row, and go into Music>current track, however this didn't really work, aside from that it didn't really give me a great over view.

My next though was to try and jump direct from a key press in Coverflow (press and hold play/pause) to the current album in the Remote buddy music browser of the itunes menu.

Is this possible? Can anyone give me any assistance how i could set up such a custom action?

Thanks

Andy

These entries from the FAQ may be relevant to this topic:

Configuration

How do I add a new action to a Behaviour - f.ex. an emulated key press or AppleScript? (FAQ015E0153)
1) Open the Remote Buddy Preferences via the pulldown-menu and choose "Mapping".
2) Choose the mapping you want to modify.
3) Select "Custom actions" for the button you want to map to an action of your own.
4) Create the action you need using the appearing editor.

Hardware - Apple® Remote

After uninstalling/quitting Remote Buddy, my Mac® no longer reacts to the Apple® Remote. (FAQ015E0241)
To enable you to use all capabilities of the IR Receiver of your Mac®, Remote Buddy is using its own driver. In contrast, all other applications with integrated Apple® Remote support usually use the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

As long as you're running Remote Buddy, Remote Buddy and its driver are responsible for turning the received button presses into actions. As soon as you quit Remote Buddy, this task is again handled by the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

If other applications don't use the interface to the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem correctly, this can lead to the effect that nothing happens when you press a button on your Apple® Remote. For as long as you're running Remote Buddy, issues like this are covered by Remote Buddy and it's driver and are therefore not visible to you. However, as soon as you quit Remote Buddy, the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem is back in control and any issues caused in it by other applications become visible.

Therefore Remote Buddy is neither the cause of the issue nor is it responsible for it. Instead, the cause of the issue exists independently of Remote Buddy. It's located elsewhere and can also only be solved there.

Although our products can't cause any such issues, we're regularly contacted about such issues and asked for help. In order to make locating and fixing the cause of such issues as easy and efficient as possible, we've developed a free diagnostics tool: Remote Control Diagnostics. It can locate issues with a single click and will provide you with information about the issue as well as with instructions on how you can fix it.

Hello Andy,

thanks for sharing your ideas.

What you propose is currently not supported by Remote Buddy. However,
what you can do is select your album in iTunes, then enter Remote
Buddy's context menu for iTunes and choose "Music Library > Current
album". You'll then see all the songs in the currently playing album
and be able to select from them as well.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Felix
