View Full Version : Rating music with the number keys on remote - Rate songs with one click using numpad?
Currently in the Aeon theme to rate a song you need to:
Select the song >> Context menu >> Song information >> up arrow x 5 to get the top rating.
This takes time and can require up to 7 remote presses.
Is it possible to rate a song or album by simply pressing a numbered button on the remote while a song/album is selected?
uhm.. yes? keymap at will
else if (strAction.Equals("increaserating")) wAction = ACTION_INCREASE_RATING;
else if (strAction.Equals("decreaserating")) wAction = ACTION_DECREASE_RATING;
seems there is no action to set a specific rating but atleast no need to open the menu.
Thanks, I think I get it :nerd:
Will the list view dynamically update? ;)
That would be really cool.
In music visualisation you can set allready the IncreaseRating/DecreaseRating very easy by pressing up and down.:grin:
Piece of standard keymap.
<Visualisation>
<remote>
<left>PreviousPreset</left>
<right>NextPreset</right>
<up>IncreaseRating</up>
<down>DecreaseRating</down>
<back>LockPreset</back>
<title>CodecInfo</title>
<select>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VisualisationPresetList)</select>
<menu>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MusicOSD)</menu>
<start>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MusicOSD)</start>
<info>Info</info>
</remote>
Edit: customize your keymap !!! here some links.:grin:
Available actions (http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Keymap.xml#Available_actions)
List of Built In Functions (http://xbmc.org/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_Built_In_Functions) - ActivateWindow(window,dir) Window IDs (http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Window_IDs)
And there is the function (isn't in list): SendClick([window,]controlID)
Still doesn't let me rate songs with 1 click, but thanks for the suggestions. Does make it easier.
