Custom Collection Button on Remote?

Is it possible to create a unique button on my remote to jump directly to the each of the custom collections I have created? For instance I have create a Tv Shows collection and would love to have the ability to jump right to it with one button push on my remote (not that the 2 or 3 button pushes now is that much of a hassle).

I am fairly certain it can after reading through the remote commands instructions provided by KSCAPE, for some reason I cant get my head around exactly how to program the command... My remotes are URC MX-5000's, one is using RS232 serial connected to my KSCAPE player, the other is using IR on the other KSCAPE player.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
 
I'm pretty sure you can't do that via IR, but you SHOULD be able to do it over TCP/IP with some clever programming on a control system. You'll have to talk to someone more familiar with how to do this via a control4 or crestron system, but the commands are there to support something like this over TCP/IP.
 
According to the Kaleidescape System Control Protocol manual this can be done via RS-232. I'm not familiar with the URC programming interface ( I do most of my programming on a Philips Pronto ) but if you program your button to send a command like:

01/1/GO_MOVIE_COLLECTION:<Collection Name>:\n

over RS-232, it should have the desired result. The manual is on the Kaleidescape website if you need more info.

Cheers,
Amir
