Watch online using remote only

Postby Ultimatepip » Mon Jan 02, 2012 11:07 am

Hi,

Like the look of the lovefilm app. I understand the limitation with steaming filter, I would recommend searching for films on the iPad app, then once made a selection switching to mce to watch on big screen. My only issue is I don't want to get the mouse out, can I watch using the remote control only... The playing full screen in 5 seconds doesn't work. Any way you can activate control of the mouse pointer using the remote control directional buttons?

Thanks for thr great support of mce!!

Hi. The auto play should work, but sometimes lovefilm is very slow. You can try going back and then in to the film again, by which time it will have cached the page.

What film are you trying though? I will check it my end too.

Thanks, it was girl with dragon tattoo. Perhaps because I use lovefilm through a natwest bank subscription, the page layout may be different? Also sometimes I see advertisements appear, in this case I have to reach for the mouse again...

Thanks again

Upgraded and new version works great. I just bought the premium version now too. Thanks!

Might be nice to add pick of the week and most popular to the genre list?
