Hey All,
I recently posted about hotkeys to select playlists... currently not a possibility.
So, there is always a dozen ways to skin a cat so here is my scenario:
I have an IR USB receiver (Flirc) that can send as many keyboard commands as programmed upon receiving a single keypress from a remote.
So I found a way to select a playlist and play it, this is the set of shortcut commands:
<clear playlist><Playlists><Select 1st Item><Arrow right X times to the Desired Playlist><Play Shuffled>
This works with one *big* caveat - focus.
If the focus isn't in the right pane, then the "select 1st" and "arrow right" to the next item simple doesn't work.
So close, but no cigar. I'm guessing there is zero ways to set the pane focus. Anyone think of another workaround / kludge that may improve the success rate?
This is a conversion of a 1946 AMI Jukebox, and I'm piping the sound through the original tube amp, the UI is my last step...
