Quicker navigation through big movies section?

I have a large selection of movies and am looking for a way to scroll down the section quicker. Ideally jump to letter of the alphabet. I have Rasplex latest version on a Pi 2 with Flirc dongle.

I know I can sort by name etc, but the family are looking for an easy way to scroll down the list. Any ideas please?

Think I’ve come up with a solution - programmed page up and page down to two keys with the Flirc. Seems to help :slight_smile:

You can also use the number keys on your remote, works like the old SMS keys on old phones, 1=a,b,c etc, press the number key as many times as you want to get the letter.

I’ve just tried this on my music & movie libraries & I’m unable to get this to work. I’ve tried using a remote on the RPi2 & also a keyboard on OpenPHT with no success.

Usually your pro-tips work perfectly so I’m assuming I’m doing something wrong here. Also should it not be 2=a,b,c etc?

Could depend on which remote you are using, I use the RemotePi board with a generic RC6 remote, not sure this tip works with keyboards, will have to dig one out.

Yeah, 2=a,b,c, not old enough to remember those phones, he, he, (I wish!).

Will try some more remotes and a keyboard, will have to wait until I complete regression testing on 1.6.2, need to get this out as soon as possible.

Boy, I need to dive back into figuring out custom programming for my remote (Mele F10). It’d be the cats meow if I could sort it all out.
