Media Center 12.0.240 and later support user defined keyboard shortcuts. These shortcuts can be made global so that they are available even with Media Center minimized.

Currently, defining these shortcuts requires working with XML in a text editor. Below we'll step through how to get them up and running.

Setup

Place this sample file: ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/tmp/Resource.xml

In this folder: (you'll need to create the Custom Resources folder) C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 12\Data\Custom Resources\Resource.xml

Then edit this file with Notepad. It has some instructions at the top of the file.

The shortcuts specified in this file will be merged with the default keyboard shortcuts specified here: C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 12\Data\Default Resources\Resource.xml
