    ComfortMCE application - beta testers needed

    Hello everybody,

    I wrote for my MCE2005 small app but I think it can be useful for some of you also.

      Futures and functions

    Using of standard Microsoft Remote Control for:

    - switching of audio streams during movie playback with ffdshow-tryout

    - switching of AV-Profiles (screen resolution, default audio output device)

    - restarting of MCE2005 eShell

    Also:

    - defining any remote buttons for every function

    - visualizing of available audio streams (see limitations in readme)

    - On-Screen Display for messaging over all windows (see limitations in readme)

    Link (user manual is inside zip):

    www.tracker2.narod.ru/ComfortMCE.zip 

    (indirect link, you have to confrim the download by clicking the link again in orange box on page)

     

    It works almost perfect for me but with couple of issues.

    The biggest problem for now - showing OSD messages over full screen MCE2005.

    Does anybody have any idea how to solve it???

    Also any other ideas/comments/reports are welcome.

    Update:

    Also if some native english speakers can proof my clumsy style in readme...

    It's nice to see someone still writing MCE2005 apps!

    I downloaded this sometime around the time you posted it, but never got around to using it until today, and I love it. It's just what I've been looking for ... well too an extent.

    The OSD works great, full-screen and windowed. I think this is because I modified what it uses to decoded videos, though I forgot exactly what I did because it was a while ago.

    The only problem I have is that the stream change button only works once for me. In one of the videos I have, there are 3 streams, Japanese Main Audio, English Main Audio, and Japanese Commentary. I can never get to the commentary. It just goes to the 2nd stream and stops. The OSD still pops up and tells me that I'm on the 2nd stream but never changes. Is it supposed to cycle through? Or does it just go down?

    I'd love to get subtitles included in there too, but that can be for another day.

    The only thing I would prefer that is different is some kind of menu that will pop-up when pressing the button, like one button will make  a menu appear over the video ( can be simple text ) that you can navigate and choose subtitles and audio tracks (maybe even chapters eventually).

    Also a button interceptor would be nice. I have this remote which does not really have any spare buttons to use. I set up the up button to do it, but it would be nice to use the "music" button, and it would intercept the button and not let MCE know that it was pressed. Not sure exactly how this can be done ...

    Thanks for the program, and I'll be looking for newer releases.
