Hi all
I am wondering if it possible to programme the harmony 300 remote to have a button jump to My movies
Would be even better if i could programme to jump straight to a filter i made for categories (kids film)
I wonder if its possible to hack 7mc to jump to my movies instead of movie section
i can see the harmony remote has a command for movies but i want ot jump to my movies
Buttom line i would like to programme the remote so my 4 year old can press one button and jump into her disney collection
Is it also possible to programme the favourites buttons for special commands instead of just the tv channels?
Almost the perfect remote and for 15.99 on amazon one of the cheapest
Harmony 300 & my movies, is it possible?

I use Autohotkey on the PC which when it detects a keyboard combination sent from the Harmony remote such as Ctrl+Alt+M it will either launch WMC in to My Movies or if WMC is already open it will just go in to My Movies. Can the Harmony 300 be taught IR commands? I doubt it but not sure, some Harmony remotes can be taught IR commands from other remotes, I used my MCE XP IR keyboard to teach my Harmony a keyboard command. If the Harmony 300 has no learning you could maybe use the "Windows Media Center SE" device in the Harmony software which has some inbuilt keyboard combinations such as Alt+1 and use Alt+1 with the AutoHotKey script to launch WMC / My Movies.

This blog post is old and where I talk about creating Windows desktop shortcuts this is not the way to do it, instead read the comments about using AutoHotKey instead.

yes the 300 you can teach IR commands
Did not think about setting up a keyboard to teach IR commands, nice workaround and i give it a go
So i guess i can launch straight into my media, anyone know now i could launch straight into a filtered view (in my case childrens films)
Getting much closer thanks cw-kid

I'm not aware of a way to open my movies in to a filtered view but it could be possible ask on the my movies forums. I just enabled parental controls in my movies so when it opens on any PC / MCX you only see kids stuff until you enter the pin number.

If you go to to options in collection management, media center interface, movie library list type (right at the top), select Filter and the filter you want.Trouble wrote:yes the 300 you can teach IR commands
