How do I assign the play button on my remote control

I made a simple menu with two buttons and it activates the buttons when I select using arrows and push enter, but not when I push play. I would like to be able to start the movie by pushing play as well. Thank you to anyone who can help me!

Open up your menu and then select the menu.
Then go to the advanced tab and see what buttons you can enable or disable for the remote. Look under "playback control", "stream selection", "menu call", and "button".
If you have everything enabled, and it doesnt work, then it is just your player.
I am pretty sure it just depends on the player you have.
If hitting play doesnt start the track, then you are just barred i guess with that player. Try another player to see if it works.
Read the manual as well to see what it says.

How can I prevent Aperture from playing slideshow when hitting the play button on the keyboard?

I am getting a bit frustrated by the fact that the play button on the keyboard, which I use all the time for controlling audio playback in iTunes and now Spotify, is assigned to starting the slideshow in Aperture. Playing a slideshow is something I never use, and is something that causes the beachball of death to appear every time. It does not make sense to me that the slideshow overrules the audio playback in iTunes. Help is much appreciated...

In Aperture the keyboard shortcuts are defined in the Command Editor.
To open the Command Editor, go to the Aperture menu -> Commands -> Customize
and in the search field enter "slideshow". Remove or replace the key binding you find there, if it is the one you want to use in iTunes.

My iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?

Hello Friends,
I've two iPod Nanos (4th gen - 8GB). I'm facing a severe problem with both of them. For both iPods, I tried to do this method Simultaneously press the top button + home (central) button. But of no use.
1. My first iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?
2. My second iPod is facing more severe problem. None of the buttons are working. When I connect it my PC it showing "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting". But it is not ejecting with all the usual methods. When I manually and physically disconnect it from the PC the same "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting" is still showing till the battery goes off. After that if i press any button it is showing low battery signal. And when i re-connect it to the PC the same process is repeating. When I tied to restore it to the factory settings I'm getting "Error" report.
(I'm using windows 7)
Friends, Please help me with the above problems. It will be a great help.
Thank You.
R.SAMALA

Sounds like some hardware issues, meaning you'll want to take or send the iPods in for service or repairs. You can choose to have Apple do an out of warranty exchange for the prices indicated in the link below or find another third party service perhaps even local to your area.

I cant fined the play button for a movie ive already rented... How do you restart a movie???

Once you rent it it will tell you when its 'ready to watch' and you can then hit play. You can also access it by going to the movies tab, and the poster image for the rented title will appear in the top left. You can also go to settings - general - itunes store - check for rentals.
Note: a 6mbps connection is required for instant HD rentals. If you are much lower it may take some time before you can watch. Accessing other content during this time or turning off the device will flush the rental, requiring a reload.

How to set target to Play button on begining DVD

Man you dont use this program for a few months and you gotta take a course on it all over again.
Ive completely forgotten how to set the PLAY button to activate at the beginning of the DVD. As in I was burning several DVDs and I tested them on my computer, and they worked fine. But the whole time I was using my mouse to navigate (I only put in one button "PLAY"). When at one point I happened to use the DVD navigator I realized I hadnt set it for a stand alone. So while if you watched it on a computer and were using your mouse you could hit the play button. But on a stand alone you cant get to it with a remote.
I remember it being a simply thing, but for the life of me I cant figure it out. HELP!

So are you talking about moving between the buttons on a menu screen (i.e. navigation in the menu) or are you saying you can't get the button to activate any video? Or both?
The first issue is sorted out with the 'Settings' drop down box and choosing 'assign buttons now' or 'auto assign buttons' (but this slows down the menu creation and gets really frustrating at times). You should then be able to get to the menu (which will have the first button highlighted and ready by default) and then use the handset to move from button to button.
The second bit is setting the target for the button - where it goes to once you select and activate it. Open up your menu in DVDSP and click on the buttons in turn. Look in the property inspector for the 'target' and make sure that each button is going where you intend.
Alternatively, use the connections tab - this is far faster, IMO, but is slightly more abstract in concept...
If you have done these things and you still cannot get to the button using the remote control then there is something else wrong - it could be that you simply forgot to create a button but have the text there ready... without the button rectangle being drawn out over the text (or next to it) there will be no button and no way to activate anything.

Function of the PLAY button versus the ENTER button

Hello gang,
I had a quick DVD / DVDSP related question that I've been trying to get a definitive answer for, and I've had great luck and some very helpful responses over in the Final Cut forum so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Anyways, I'm editing some video and authoring a DVD for a group who intend to make an instructional DVD. It's divided into about five chapters and each one begins with some sort of voiceover and text/graphics. In the opening segment of the DVD, there is a voiceover that explains the way to navigate through the DVD and select chapters, etc. etc. The voiceover has already been written and recorded, but I have some concerns about the power they have designated for the "Play" button. Here is an excerpt:
"We use the PLAY button in a couple of ways: to select and play an item that is currently highlighted in a list of items on the screen..."
and also:
"Almost all DVD remotes have a set of buttons that are arranged like a set of arrows (or triangles) pointing to the top, bottom, right and left of the remote control. These keys are used to move the selection pointer on menus presented on the screen. When an item is selected, it is highlighted to distinguish it from the other items in the list that are not selected. Once you have moved the selection point to the item you want, push the PLAY button to actually select and begin playback on that item."
Now here is my concern– I was under the impression that the "Enter" button was typically used to select menu items, etc. I decided to test this on some commercial DVDs I had lying around, and it seems that the Play button does in fact work to select items. I had always assumed it was assigned just one specific role, for example playing the main title on a DVD.
I looked it up in the DVDSP manual and this is all I found:
"A button is selected when the viewer navigates to
it. Only one button at a time can be in the selected state. The selected button becomes
activated when the viewer presses the remote control’s Enter button. Depending on the
button type, highlights or layers are used to indicate each button’s state."
I couldn't find anything regarding the function of the Play button. I suppose my question is this: do these instructions sound okay? Are they universal? Can the Play button be used to select menu items on EVERY DVD player? I am only really stressing about this because this DVD is being targeted towards senior citizens, many of whom have extremely limited knowledge of DVD technology. I'd like to come up with the most universal, simple, and solid instructions for navigation through the DVD.
Okay, thank you in advance. I appreciate any comments or advice you might be able to offer.

Ah yes, Jake, but which UOP? Surely, you've seen me address this issue of there not being a Play UOP before?
The project can be set up for Play to be Enter on a very high percentage of players, but it would be good with Christopher’s project to get the announcer to add "and Enter".
The way it works is make sure that the "Still Off" user Op in DVD Studio Pro's Advanced Playback Controls is unchecked. DVD SP started making this default UOP denial in recent versions, which will mess up the Play remote key on a lot of players, including the Apple DVD player.
And it would be good to take notes here Jake, since you do some Scenarist authoring. This Play remote key could bite you big time, if you're not careful (I've rescued two good authors who had trouble with what I'm about to describe; luckily, we caught it before it was submitted for replication).
Still Off, which is what a lot of DVD player manufacturers map their play remote key if they don't directly map it to "Enter", when the DVD player is in infinite pause mode, i.e., the state a cell/program is in when displaying a still menu, causes the menu PGC to execute it's post command area (leave the PGCs still phase).
A check of DVD SP's abstraction layer will show that navigation out of the post command area of all DVD SP's menu PGCs is determined by the current value of SPRM 8, the last selected/activated button. All of DVD SP's menu domain buttons are "LinkTail PGC" commands, so the effect of Operating Play is identical to activating a button with Enter, in the case of Still Off being the trigger.
This can be verified by setting a button command in AfterEdit to jump somewhere directly which is different location than it was set in DVD SP. With the Still Off user op enabled, hit Play on the selected button and find that the original command in DVD SP will execute. But hit enter on the same button, and navigation will go to your test location. This is how it works on many players (you can check it out right in the Apple player).
So it's good for spec based authors to use LinkTail PGC, which most do, on their menu button commands for still menus (in single PGCs), just in case users use Play instead of Enter in those players; or navigation can get pretty wacky! Or, if you don’t use LinkTail for the menus’ button commands, then it would be good to at least provide for code in the PGCs post command area to receive navigation in this case. But LinkTail has lots of other advantages, which is why it's used so much.
With motion menus, Most players map the play remote key to "Enter", well, except the Apple DVD player. It turns the Play remote key to a Pause key during motion, so Christopher’s viewers would definitely be out of luck there.
All that said, the play remote key should not be depended on as the primary for bullet-proof navigation, as you said.
Take care,
Trai

Can;t see the red line border around the text when I hit the Play button

On the last page I have a burgundy red lined border. However, when I hit the Play button, that red border does not show. I clicked onto it and then clicked onto: Send to front --- but when I did that, all of the text disappeared, presumable “sent to the back” since the line border was sent to the front so it could be seen.
I would like to see both text AND red border. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
~ Lorna in Southern California

Lorna,
With your text box selected open the inspector and go to the shape tab. There select border then you can choose the type of border that you want the thickeness, color and even a shadow if you want. You should be able then to delete the other border that seems to be hiding your text.
Hope this helps

HT204370 What can I do if the PLAY button for a movie rental doesn't play?

Help! What to do? Wanted to watch rented movie again within the 24 hour time and the play button doesnt play?!

You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

I can't link up the play button in Encore

I just want one button, THE PLAY Button.
The project has no errors and will allow a build.
Then When I add a button It will not link.

If you added a background, you must have a menu. So I'm going to assume you have the very basic question of how you link a button to a timeline. See screenshots.
On the left is the project panel, with a menu, an asset (the video file with the .wmv extension), and a timeline. The middle panel is the menu viewer, where one of the buttons is selected. The right panel is the properties panel where you can see the properties of the selected object, here a button.
In the first screenshot, the section for "Link" is empty. In the second screenshot, you can see that the "pickwhip" has been used to drag from the link to the timeline. (You link to a timeline, not to the asset.) In the third screenshot, you can see the button properties for link, now shows the timeline.

How do I stop audio play button in embedded plugins from starting without being clicked?

I am trying to used embedded audio plugins in my podcasts which are posted weekly. But when I add a new plugin each week it starts playing as soon as one clicks on the site. I can have six programs playing at once. How do I set the parameters so that one must first click on the play button for them to start playing?

That's bad. Really bad. And I can understand how you might get complaints about that.
For HTML5, the way you insert audio is this way:
<audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls">
<source src="podcast.ogg" />
<source src="podcast.mp3" />

You also have to make sure that your .htaccess file does know about ogg files and I assume you have done that.
In the case of my example above, take out the autoplay="autoplay" that will cause the audio to not play when you load the web page.
Now, you didn't say if you're using Flash or some older means of putting your podcasts on your website, so I've just given you the HTML5 information, which is what I am currently using for audio on the web.

The play button on HTML5 video doesn't work, however the play option in the context menu does

I have embedded a video using HTML5 using the mp4, webm, and ogg formats.
In Firefox the video poster displays as do the native controls. When the video is clicked on (either on the poster or the play button on the controls) the poster disappears to be replaced with the first frame of the video. However the video then fails to play.
If i right click over the video and select play it plays fine, similarly if i then click the pause button it pauses, the play button still does not work though.
The video plays in all other browsers that i have tested in without an issue.

Hi Obverse,
Thank you for contacting support. To better understand how the video is embedded, could you please post a link to the video or an example of where the HTML play button does not play a video?

How do I assign the play button on my remote control
