possible to remap remote to work with mpc-hc

doubt its possible, but just wondering if its possible to map volume, pause/play/fastfwd and rewind buttons to mpc-hc so I don't have to use two remotes on my phone while watching a movie.

For just the remoting part you can use Yatse Widget (check my sign).

But i don't provide browsing functions that the official remote does pretty well.

Yes, you can achieve it by setting up MPC-HC Keys as shown in my screen shot below:

You need to do these for volume buttons-
-View--> Options--> Keys
-Scroll down to Volume Up and Volume Down
-Scroll to the right to App Command and double-click "VOLUME_UP" and "VOLUME_DOWN".

doing this will cause mpc-hc to work with the official xbmc android remote?

just got to look at this, so this is a separate remote that will control xbmc and mpc-hc? so I wouldn't use the xbmc remote anymore if I used your widget?

I'm not sure about Andriod remote, because I never use Andriod remote. I can control MPC-HC and XBMC with the same MCE remote.

@rol45 yes the remote works with Xbmc and Mpc Hc used as an external player.
You'll just miss the browsing library part if you use it.

@bluray, you settings makes mpc works only with ir remotes that send real keypress, android remotes does not so it don't works.

i just tried it, works for xbmc, but did nothing for mpc-hc, is there something else I need to setup?

Well I don't know what happened but it works, this is awesome! Only thing that would make it better is if it had the time remaining like xbmc and mpc-hc remotes do

In the detailed now playing you have the length and position.
You just want the subtraction of the two ?
