Change default Remote settings to open a different app than Front Row?

Hello!
Forgive me if this is not the right board for this post, but I'm not sure where it should go exactly - this seemed best.
I have a fairly new MacBook Pro running Leopard, a rather large video library on an external drive, and a 24" display attached. I've been using Front Row to view these files, but have run into several file types that play back perfectly fine in Quicktime, but not Front Row (such as MKVs...), even with Perian. I discovered a solution however - Plex - which is what amounts to a much more feature rich, third-party version of Front Row. After some use, I've discovered that for my setup, it's a much better way to view things. It's still a beta, but it works fine on my system.
What I'd love to do, however, is to reconfigure the included Apple Remote so that when I press the menu button, it opens Plex instead of Front Row. Is this possible? Apple certainly doesn't seem to have included an easy way of this.
Thanks,
-Dan

This little piece of software will do what you want:

I use it just to enable my older mini to use an Apple Remote and it works well.

  • To change "Default Report Settings"

    Hello All,
    In the interactive report, I am wondering to change “Default Report Settings”.
    Thanks in advance,

    Make sure you're logged into the builder as a developer, pick the columns you want, filters, ordering...etc. When you are done, click Save Report - developers have the option of saving default report settings.
    Again you will only see this option if you are logged into the builder.

  • Changing default cursor settings

    Hi,
    I need to change the default cursor settings on an xy graph.  Currently the cursor positions itself at the beginning of each data set.  See attached.  You should be able to see the cursor displayed in bright yellow.  How do I change the default conditions for displaying the cursor at the beginning of each data set from say: 04:19:38 PM, 09/28/12, (as in the attached example) to say: 04:19:38 PM, 09/28/11.  I just changed the two digit year - to keep it simple!  Thank you.  John

    Hi John,
    It sounds like you may not have your VI updating to show changes to controls when they are changed. I would recommend using an event structure in a while loop to poll for changes to the cursor and update them on the graph. I attached an example I wrote (opens in LabVIEW 2010 and more recent) to show you what I am talking about.
    It is hard for me to understand what you are talking about with the small snippets of your code I am seeing. If you have further questions, please post an entire VI (or a smaller example VI that reproduces the issue) so it will be easier to help you.

  • Change default table settings

    How do I change the default table settings in Pages? I usually want 2 columns without headings or borders, and it always defaults to 3 columns with headings and borders.

    You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them. Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version.
    Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.
    About the only thing you can’t set a template to do is remember to show invisibles & the window position. It is possible to get a template to show invisibles when opened, if you want. Save this document as a document then, in the Finder, change the extension from .pages to .template & put it in your My Templates folder in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.

  • Changing default printer settings in SAP Portal

    Hi,
    When i am trying to print the report in SAP Portal, the default page setting is A3 , i need to change it to 8.5 * 11 inches.
    Is it possible??
    Thanks
    Janc

    Hi,
    You can change the Page Settings in your Internet Explorer.
    File --> Page Setup.
    Try doing this.
    Are you on BI 3.5 or 7.0?
    Also, you are using the Query Designer or WAD ?
    In WAD7.0 you can Export the Template with the Query and set the size as A4 or 8.5 x 11 inches.
    While viewing the Query designer output also, you select the size. Default is A4.

  • Change Default Import Settings

    This has bugged me for a while now. I have created an Import Preset to import my photos to my "F" drive. Works perfectly but sometimes...the import Preset reverts to the original Lightroom Import setting which imports to my "C".drive. If I right click on my Import Preset, my Import to "F" is checked.
    How can I prevent LR4 from reverting to the default import settings and is there anyway to either remove the old default altogether or make my Import to "F", my default?
    Bob

    I found a previous post that appears to work.  Since the netbook doesn't show an OK in the preference window, I just had to hit enter to accept and change the setting. 
    Thanks to all.

  • Change default MIDI settings in Logic.

    Hi there,
    Just bought Yamaha DTXplorer digitals drums. When I record the MIDI part in Logic Pro 8, it doesn’t play the right notes concerning BD, SN and so on. Is it possible to change the default MIDI settings in Logic so it fit to the Yamaha DTX – or other applications?
    Thanks for your help – KGL.

    There is not really any such thing as "default MIDI settings". Logic just gets the notes you play from your controller, and sends them to whatever other instruments you are using.
    Does the DTX not use GM mapping? If not, I'd suggest you alter the notes it sends to be more suitable for your needs.
    You can use Logic to remap notes in realtime (in a variety of ways, using environment transformers or mapped instruments) and this is the more flexible way of doing it, if you are comfortable with environment routing and so on.

  • Changing default subscription settings

    Hello all,
    According to <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=37365">this SDN forum post</a> from 2005, it is not possible to change the default subscription settings.
    With EP7, is this still the case?  I can't find any documentation on doing this... so I'm hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst. 
    Thanks in advance,
    Fallon

    Hello Pradeep,
    When I display the 'subscribe' command in a layout set, the user can click it to subscribe to a folder.  However, it uses the default subscription settings automatically when the user clicks that command.  Then the command changes to "Edit Subscription" where the user can modify their subscription settings... but I'd like to be able to control what the default settings are that are taken on that first click.
    Thanks for your reply,

  • Changing default render settings?

    On CS5.
    Every time I render it's reset to the default seetings.
    Is there some way to change the default, or save and easily recall settings?
    Cheers!

    As Mylenium says, using render settings templates and output module settings templates is the way to go. Here is some more information, including how to set your templates as the defaults:
