Assign Quick Button

[bumperbee]

Hi Everyone, I had tried with “Setup Quick Button” and something like “Movies Quick Button” but all didn’t work. Please tell me how to assign the colored button? Thanks very much!

I used to have Setup QuickButton installed but now I prefer have the original behaviour. Anyway, to assign functions to buttons (not only the coloured ones) you have to enter its setup from plugins menu.

Hi Alexwilmac, thanks very much for the advice! Which software you use?

If you mean Setup QuickButton, I did use it before and now I had try again and it’s still the same, didn’t work. I had try setting the Red button to Timer, in default it actually display Timer at Red button but can’t work. Please advice!

Yes, If I remember well, this was something that didn't work, probably because the SHORT press of red is managed for HBBTV functions. When I had Quickbutton, I chose Long press for Timers.

Hi Alexwilmac, very sorry I had miss your message!

Yes you are right, only can use the long press and can’t use the red button. But this is funny, nothing happen when I press the red button, even after setting back the red button to “nothing”, wonder why?

 

[AlexWilMac]

The red button can't be used, it seems. I don't remember if it was due to the HBBTV function or not (as I now don't use Quickbutton any longer) but the other k_e_y_s can be set up.
As a curiosity: why do you need quickbutton? Maybe there are alternative ways of getting where you want to get

Yes, the red button can’t be used. I would like a single button select for Timer, Epg Graphical and Plugin, as I often use them.

When I used Q.B. I assigned Long red to timer and long yellow to Graph Multi EPG. But I didn't know that BH already shows the Graph MultiEPG if you long press the EPG k.e.y.
And I used the "Menu sort plugin to put in first position Timers, so that just pressing Menu/OK I have access to timers. Other Plugins, like EMC, have in their setup the chance to be assigned to a specific k_e_y. That's why I uninstalled Q.B. preferring the original functioning of coloured k.e.y.s.

Yes agreed, it is in Long Epg button but a little inconvenient as I needed to select again for Graph Epg, meaning I needed to depress 2 times and another time to select before I could bring out the plugin.

Bright idea you have to make use of Menu Sort to quickly deliver a plugin of your choice. Good advice, I am going to Copycat you, hehehe!

Thanks very much for all the precious recommendation.

Best Regards
