Hi, I use PowerDVD 17 to play my content ripped from bluray discs. KODI successfully launches PowerDVD when it is supposed to, and PowerDVD does a good job of playing the content. My programmable remote does a great job of tying this all together. However I am not able to close PowerDVD from my remote. I know that PowerDVD does not really have this capability, but in the olden days (up until about 6 months ago) when I was running KODI 18.6 on a Windows 7 HTPC there was some way of "killing" whatever application was running and in focus, and I had this programmed into my remote. However this does not work when I now run Kodi 19.3 on a Windows 10 HTPC.
So I think the problem might be:
1. The possibility does not exist in Windows 10
2. The possibility does not exist in Kodi Matrix
3. I lost the set-up I had in Keymap editor (I think), which allowed me to send a command to close PowerDVD in the transition from one HTPC to another, one OS to another or Leia to Matrix.
I think it is probably the last alternative. I have reinstalled the add-on, and I am trying to reprogram it in such a way that pressing the 'record' button on my remote will emulate pressing the PC keyboard 'alt + F4' (which is the only way I know of shutting down PowerDVD without using a mouse to click the X in the top right hand corner). However, pressing alt + F4 of course closes KODI while I am trying to cretae my new keymap set-up
Has anyone been able to make a good solution for shutting down PowerDVD from a remote control. I don't want to have to use a keyboard or a mouse to get back to KODI from blueray disc play.
