What does it do?
This Yahoo! Music Engine DLL plugin installs a new item in the service drawer called
“Mouse Remote”. This page allows you to control the YME with very simple
mouse actions that don’t require looking at the screen:
- Left mouse button: Go to previous track
- Right mouse button: Go to next track
- Middle mouse button: Play/pause toggle
- Mouse wheel: Controls volume
These settings are actually customizable on the Mouse Remote page in case you don’t like the default mappings.
Note that these mouse mappings are only in effect when you have Mouse Remote selected in the service drawer and you’ve clicked the “Enable” button on the Mouse Remote page – this is necessary because otherwise
you wouldn’t be able to use your mouse for other things!
The ideal use case for this plugin is when you’re using YME to play music at a party and you don’t want to have a monitor in the living room just so that you can pause the music or skip a song. Ideally, you’d be
using a wireless mouse (e.g: Logitech MX-1000, etc.) so that you can just grab the mouse off the coffee table and issue commands.
