The Popup
(information below valid for myTV v1.2.+ only)
Pressing the "i" button or '#' on the remote whilst any Show is selected will bring up a 'More Info' type popup.
This popup is divided into different sections, as outlined below.
Actions
This displays a set of buttons, which should be fairly self-explanatory. They are;
- Play Next
- Play Random
- Display Seasons
- Search Torrents
- Flag Series/Season/Episode as watched
- Flag Series/Season/Episode as not watched
- Force metadata refresh (instantly check for new episodes and update the User Interface with new information from thetvdb.com)
All
these are optional, so if there are no unwatched episodes in the
current show, Play Next will be unavailable. Watched/Unwatched toggles
depending on if none, all or some of the episodes are already flagged
as watched.
Information
This gives you
pretty much all the metadata for the Show in question. Including, but
not limited to Network, which day/time it airs, if it still airs,
actors, genres, overview etc.
Online
Interactive
features. At the moment this gives you the option of marking the show
as a favorite (or not) and rating it from 0-10. More features will be
added at a later date. This section is only available/usable if you
have registered over at TheTVDB.com and configured your account
Identifier in myTV.
Edit
Basically gives
you access to what you previously found under Settings/Database/Show -
ie, an option to delete the series (from the databse, the file system
or both), change Banners, names, fanart and season number.
This is work in progress - will be updated once the next release hits.
Map Remote Button to open myTV
Using ControlRemote
you can intercept the commands from an MS remote (or universal remotes
that use the MS receiver) and run a command depending on what is
configured in the XML file.
For example, if you wanted to remap the Videos button you would find the
<button id="MyVideos"></button> node in the xml
and add
<execute path="C:\WINDOWS\ehome\ehshell.exe" params="/entrypoint:{Appid}\{entrypoint}" oneinstance="false"/>
so to add/map a button to open myTV (I'm using the red teletext button in this example) it would read
<button id="Red">
<execute path="C:\WINDOWS\ehome\ehshell.exe" params="/entrypoint:{5F82B596-5C07-45bf-97C6-94B1A13730D4}\{FEB9A597-0998-431c-877A-ECDF00F07800}" oneinstance="false"/>
</button>
Now when you press the button, myTV should open.
