I really enjoy using WMC for the TV tuner interface. I also like PLEX for watching my video collection. On my living room HTPC I needed an easy way to switch between the two programs using my Ortek WMC Remote.
I installed "AutoHotKey" program to allow me to reprogram key functions. I reprogrammed the DVD shortcut button on the remote to "ALT-TAB". Worked better than planned, very easy to move back and forth between the two programs. Here's the script I wrote.
^+m::
!tab
return
That's it, just 3 lines! Makes it so much easier to swap between programs! Once you have installed AutoHotKey just paste the above lines into a notepad document and save them as an .AHK Then you can put that .AHK in your startup folder to automate the process.
I launch KODI as well and can swap between KODI, WMC and PLEX with ease.
