A few question on first time use of Net remote

[Hunter]

So far I have a Jriver server and 1 computer that controls zone 2. Here are the questions:

1. *Important* The net remote PC needs to control zone 2 by default. I notice that once I close and reopen net remote it defaults to zone 1. How can I change this??? I would prefer to only allow it to control ONLY zone 2.

2. My screen resolution is 800X600. I will not be using any other functions (so far) other than controlling zone 2 of a J river server. In order to change the buttons, screen appearance etc I would need to do this using net designer?? If so then
3. It looks a little complex is there anywhere I can read about it or do I need to play with it?? Basically I would like to get rid of some buttons and make the library appearance more touch screen (finger touch screen ) friendly. I would also like to change some of the button functionality (I found it to be quite resource consuming if you accidently add say 50 or more songs at once to the qeue.

Thanks for any help that you can provide

I do this by having a button on the Home page that first sets the zone to the zone I want to control. Let's say the name of the zone is Kitchen, then you have "Set Zone(Kitchen)" as the first action and "Jump: Media Center Control" as the second command (well, whatever you're calling the page where you have the JRMC control).

Just play with Designer, if you just make sure you have a backup of your original file you can't really do much wrong. Worst case scenario is that your CCF will be broken, and then you can start again from fresh. And you can make backups on the way (like I do), so you won't loose much work if you manage to mess up the CCF.

Well I am not much of a programmer but I was trying to break down a downloaded CCF. I wanted to modify the code behind a button on the skin
The skin is off the download page, it is: mc_800X600_2
the button is titled "MP.zone"

is it possible to change the code so that it automatically controls a specific zone.

Here is the code behind the button

MP.Zone;Send

The zone name is simple "zone 2"

Pleeeeeeease help with this mod
I really appreciate any help that can be provided

Can anyone help?? Net remote designer doesn't seem that easy to build skins etc. If I could just get some help modifying a current one it might meet my needs.

Pleeeease

Hi Hunter - I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Do you mean you want to select a given zone and send to it?

Are you running multiple zones under one instance of JRMC?

[Hunter]

I have 1 J River Server with 3 zones (zone 1,2 and 3). I am going to have 2 other computers accessing a specific zone. Right now I have installed one other computer. I want it to access zone 2. I want it to only access zone 2. It cannot access zone 1 or 3.

A little background. I installed net remote and noticed that when I set the computer to access zone, then I shut down net remote and restart it. It defaults back to zone 1. This would be bad in the environment it is in. So now I have been looking for a solution to my this problem.

So when I solve this, I will install another computer and I will want it to access only zone 3.

Thanks
Can this be done???

Hmmm. You could write some lua in the OnCCFLoad function to have it set the current zone automatically.

Unfortunately there isn't a way (currently) to hide the other zones automatically, but you could do this by hard coding a zone list and not showing any other zones.
