1Media Player Classic - Home Cinema LogoHow to set remote control jump keys for MPC-HC

As I’ve doc­u­mented in the past, I have sev­er­al HTPC’s run­ning Win­dows Media Cen­ter. I also use Medi­aB­rowser for TV series and movies ripped from disk. I’ve found that Medi­aB­rowser works much bet­ter with an extern­al play­er than the intern­al play­er — per­form­ance seems to be super­i­or — so I use Media Play­er Clas­sic Home Cinema. I also have sev­er­al Media Cen­ter remote con­trols for use with the vari­ous HTPCs, and one of the most fre­quently used pairs of but­tons are the “jump” or “skip” but­tons which in media cen­ter jump the cur­rent play­back for­ward by 30 seconds or back by 30 seconds. This is really handy for skip­ping adverts in recor­ded TVHow­ever, under default install­a­tion set­tings these keys don’t work when play­ing videos in MPC-HCAfter much tri­al and error I finally figured out the cor­rect configuration

Today Media Browser 2.5.2 code­name Apollo was released.

The main new fea­ture is the sup­port for 3D movies. Oth­er­wise this update does­n’t bring as many changes as some pre­vi­ous releases, but it is worth not­ing that Win­dows Vista is no longer supported.

0Images by Name Studios LogoNew IBN Studios upload

A user called “Chip­monkery” has uploaded a new stu­di­os pack to the [int­link id=“2659” type=“post”]IBN project[/intlink].  This doubles the pre­vi­ous num­ber of stu­dio images. Hope­fully it will include many (or at least some) of the icons I lis­ted in my [int­link id=“78” type=“post”]earlier post[/intlink].  I will update that post accordingly.

0Images by Name Studios LogoMissing studios from IBN project

Below is a list I’m slowly com­pil­ing of Movie Stu­dio logos that are miss­ing from the [int­link id=“2659” type=“post”]Images By Name project[/intlink]. I hope to even­tu­ally loc­ate sources for them all and at a con­veni­ent point will sub­mit them to the project.

Crossed-out items are now included in the avail­able down­loads. Grey items are items that are altern­at­ive names for exist­ing stu­di­os — these can be added by duplic­at­ing the rel­ev­ant folder and renam­ing it.
