Yes, already realized that. So if you want to open a menu, you can trick cRemote to send the plugin pseudo-key, let the main loop call the main menu action, catch that, and initiate a custom menu instead of the default menu. Talk about straight forward. ;) At least its more straight forward than calling SVDRP. :D If some other plugin decides to do the same thing just a moment later, the call is skipped, so maybe its a good idea to watch for a timeout between CallPlugin() and MainMenuAction(). And of course there's that nasty problem of plugins loaded twice with the same name, in which case the MainMenuAction of the first loaded plugin will get all the calls. ;) Cheers, Udo PS: Sorry for being such a PITA...
