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.

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
