Beyond Media Basic Applications

In addition to providing a media interface that allows you to access media applications and control your PC from the comfort of your couch, Beyond Media Basic includes several native applications for using media files on your PC. You can fully control each of these applications using only the Firefly Remote Control and run them simultaneously. The document Create a Photo Slideshow walks you through setting up a slideshow of images in Beyond Photos Basic that is set to music playing in Beyond Music Basic.

Beyond Music Basic

A simple player that allows you to listen to CDs and audio files, such as MP3s, on your PC. Launch this application by pressing the "Music" Media Button.

Beyond Photos Basic

A photo viewer that allows you to view and navigate image files, such as JPEGs, on your machine in a full-screen slideshow. Launch this application by pressing the "Photos" Media Button.

Beyond Video Basic

A simple player that allows you to watch video files, such as MPEG-2s, in a full-screen interface. Launch this application by pressing the "Video" Media Button.

The Beyond Media Basic applications are the default applications for using music, photo and video files with the Firefly remote. You can specify other applications on your PC if you prefer. For example, if you prefer to use Windows Media Player to watch video files rather than Beyond Video Basic, use the instructions in the document Media Button Settings to specify this preference.
