Re: Scenarist: Activating certain buttons on remote

You can define a program chain in the Video Manager domain to be the "Title Menu". By default the first PGC you create in the Video Manager has the "Title Menu" attribute. This can be set or changed by selecting the desired program chain in the scenario editor, opening the propety browser and selecting the desired menu id from the drop down menu.

You can also define one program chain in each Video Title Set Manager domain to be a "Root Menu" using the same technique I described above.

If the end user presses the "Title" button on the remote control will pass to the program chain you have defined as the "Title Menu PGC".

DVD player remote controls have a number of different names for the key that will pass control to the "Root Menu". On some remotes it is called "Menu" on others it is called "Root Menu", and on others it is called "Info" or "Guide". When the user presses one of these buttons control will pass to the Root Menu that is defined for the current Video Title Set that the player is accessing content from.
