I've never seen it. Usually devices have 4 buttons for this. <<,>> and <|,|> (These are Rew, FF, Next, Prev respectively) The problem is you fumble around with FF and you don't hold it long enough and boom song gone (you execute a next track). The whole thing of changing it's function based on how long you hold it is bad. As far as remote strength goes, that has nothing to do with it and strength is excellent from stock remote. I can blast it off walls etc. Harmony works well too. The basic edit I did in the map was to get rid of the HOLD thing and map the 4 functions to 4 buttons (with no holding). And map them to the standard 4 buttons found on any universal remote. >>,<<,|>,<| After this it is fairly normal. You have to pick 2 buttons to give up though. I used volume keys because I use an external DAC and Volume is locked any ways. When you're done you get. One tap on FF and it's fast forwarding instantly. Want it faster, Tap Tap. No Tap HOLD, Tap HOLD. You can't screw it up. And you can't accidently Tap to Slow or Fast and get unwanted behavior (i.e. the next song, grrrr). Next Track is then just a tap too on a seperate button (you won't accidently start a FF if you hold it too long). I think I posted MAP file once, don't have access at the moment to server. -- mswlogo Thinkpad XP SS > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF-COAX > Meridian 861V4 (Trifield, Room corrected, Upsampled) > DSP5500 Mains, DSP5500HC Center, DSP33 Rears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36287 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
