Back to top

 

CAN I CHANGE THE DEFAULT KEYPAD SETTING?

YES. You can program whatever key you like to trigger whatever command you like, even your own scripts. You can even program a key to trigger two different commands, depending on if you give it a short or long press.

 

To change the keypad setup, go to the preferences. Select ÓHotkeysÓ. Select ÓClick actionsÓ to bring up a list of the keys on your keypad and their corresponding short-press actions. Select ÓHold actionsÓ to bring up a list of the keys on your keypad and their corresponding long-press actions. Select the key you want to program. This will bring up a list of all enabled commands. Select the command you want to assign to the selected key.

 

If you want to revert to the default keypad setting, select ÓRestore defaultÓ.

If you want to revert to the default setting for a single key, select ÓRevert/ClearÓ in the list of actions.

 

The More menu is automatically populated with every command that is not assigned to a key on your terminal. If you prefer to populate the More menu with all enabled commands, you may do so by disabling the "Hotkey filterÓ option in the preferenceÕs ÓMore menuÓ option.

 

You can program all keys except the play/pause, help and options key.

 

 

Back to top

 

CAN I HAVE A DIFFERENT KEYPAD SETTING FOR MY OTHER TERMINAL(S)?

YES. You can have as many different keypad settings as you like: one for your phone and one for your PDA, etc. The appropriate setting will be loaded automatically.

 

 

Back to top

 

WHAT ÕS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLICK AND HOLD ACTIONS?

A click action is a command triggered by a short key press. A hold action is a command triggered by a long key press. You can program a single key with both a click and a hold action. This will reduce the length of the More menu, since all commands assigned to the keypad - either as a click or a hold action - are filtered out in the More menu (unless keypad filtering is disabled in the preferences).

 

By default, there are only a few hold actions assigned to the keypad: giving the play/pause key a long press will toggle full screen or activate the playlist if no movie is being played (navigator mode). Holding the help key will toggle mouse mode. Holding the options key will open the preferences menu.

 

Some commands are repeatable (such as Adjust sub delay, Volume up/down, etc). If you assign a repeatable command to a key as a click action, it will automatically be assigned to the keyÕs hold action as well.

 

 

Back to top

 

 

CAN I CHANGE THE ORDER OF COMMANDS IN THE MORE MENU?

YES. Go to the preferences, select "More menu" and ÓDisplay orderÓ. This will bring up a list of every command listed in the More menu. Select the command you want to move and enter a new value for it. To revert to the factory settings, select ÓRestore defaultÓ

 

 

Back to top

 

CAN I ADD MORE SCRIPTS TO THE COMMAND LIST?

YES. To add a script, go to the preferences, select "Menu Extras" and ÓAdd actionÓ. This will bring up a list of every available action script category of Salling Clicker. Select the category containing the action script you wish to add to the command list, select the action script, and voila! A new menu called ÓExtrasÓ will now appear in the More menu. The ÓExtrasÓ menu will bring up a list of all available menu extras. To remove a previously added script, select ÓRemove actionÓ.

 

Tip! Menu Extras is also a convenient way to enable Salling Clicker actions that are currently not available on your terminal, eg. scripts that arenÕt neccessarilly useful within the controller but that you, in the comfort of your sofa, just realized that you have removed from the Clicker menu for some reason but now feel urged to use again. Instead of having to get up, open ClickerÕs preference pane, locate the script, drag it to the menu list and apply your changes, you can simply add it as a Menu Extra to be able to execute it.

 

 

Back to top

 

CAN I DISABLE COMMANDS I DONÕT USE?

YES. To disable a command, simply go to the preferences menu, select ÓCommandsÓ, ÓEnabledÓ and then the command you want to disable. To re-enable a command, select ÓDisabledÓ and then the command you want to enable. Once a command has been disabled, it will disappear from the More menu.

 

 

Back to top

 

WILL MY CUSTOM VLC KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS BE RECOGNIZED?

YES. VLC Controller will automatically detect and use all your custom VLC hotkey combos. You can safely change them to whatever you like, as often as you like. VLC Controller will automatically catch up.

 

Back to top

 

CAN I CHANGE THE BACKGROUND IMAGE?

YES. There are two different background images: ÓIconÓ and ÓFilmstripÓ. You can choose which one to use in the preferences menu, where you can also choose to disable background images completely or select your own, custom background image using the built-in filebrowser. The background image is displayed when the player is stopped (navigator mode) or if the current movie has no jacket.

 

 

Back to top

 

CAN I ADD MY OWN DVD JACKETS TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN PLAYING A MOVIE?

YES. Images fetched from the internet using the ÓFetch jacketÓ command are stored in /User/Movies/DVD Jackets/. Simply drop the .jpg image that you want to use as a background image for a certain movie in this folder. Just remember to give it the same name as the movie.

 

 

Back to top

 

CAN I BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEREÕS A NEW VERSION AVAILABLE?

YES. Go to the preferences, select ÓVersion CheckÓ, and then ÓAutomaticallyÓ to automatically check for updates on launch. Select ÓManually (Now)Ó to check just this once if your software is up to date.

 

 

Back to top

 

 

CAN I GET HELP FROM WITHIN THE CONTROLLER?

YES. You can get a brief description of every command that is currently assigned to a key (click actions as well as hold actions) on your terminal by pressing the Help or # key.

WHY SHOULD I INSTALL XTOOL?

XTool is a free scripting addition. Scripting additions extend the possibilities of Applescript. Among other things, XTool allows scripts to move the mouse cursor to a certain position on the screen – a functionality that Salling Clicker currently lacks. VLC Controller uses XTool for this purpose only: to activate the VLC playlist by moving the mouse cursor to and selecting the first playlist item. To activate the playlist using XTool, give the play/pause key a long press in navigator mode (or select ÓActivateÓ in the ÓPlaylistÓ menu).

 

If you donÕt install XTool you have to switch to the built-in mouse mode, move the mouse manually to the playlist window and click on it to activate.

DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR UPDATES?

NO. All updates are - and will always be - free of charge for registered users.
