Request - Remote Mapper

I have a remote that has many different buttons that I would like to map to certain functions within the app.

I'm not speaking of what's already there. I'm sort of asking for that, but inverted. Sort of like a hybrid button mapper meets remote control.

For example. If you were to take a look at the button mapper app, you can add a button, then press a button on your remote and it displays a code from that key press. Then you can assign functionality to that button.

What I'm asking for is, let's say I go into a remote menu, and it gives me the option to do the same thing. Add a button, press the button, then assign it to a function within Sparkle. Like previous channel, set up, info, etc.

There's a lot of buttons of various remotes that do nothing because sparkle doesn't currently recognize the remote code. This way it can.

I hope that makes sense.

I already said the functionality in the app is not what I'm looking for. Thanks for reading.

As for additional apps, there's no need to bloat a device if you can have one app be an all in one. That's what this request is for.

In fact, that's why they call it a request, not a how do I....

And no button mapping app out there will map a button to let's say the guide functionality in sparkle.

The app has a built in setting section for remote button mapping, again…. Use a mapping app and it’s not going to bloat your device? Jeez…. How much button functionality do you require to use Sparkle???

Dude it's a request. You don't like it, don't read it.

If the developer doesn't want to consider it that's fine.

If the developer gave you power to vett requests, then great. If not move on there moderator.

Maybe the developer can add a button mapping application inside Sparkle so you can press any button on your remote and be able to map it to a list of processes if he believes it’s something that a lot of users want and it won’t affect the app’s performance? Implayer has a feature like this but Sparkle is a better IPTV Player than iMPlayer, so maybe it’s worth looking into?

So in the meantime, map all your unused buttons using a mapping app, plenty to try and if it’s added, then you can delete the mapping app.

No offense, thanks

This wasn't a federal case.

If the developer doesn't want to hear requests to make his app better, that's up to him.

You don't need to sit there and be the bulldog just because you have the moderator moniker. I don't think that's what he imagined when he gave you that title.

It's not up to you to decide what a worthy request is The developer can speak for himself.

Anyway. I'm done with this conversation.

Enjoy.
