OK, I'm in the process of setting up remote control for MC9. I've searched the forums and I still have a bit of confusion re using the ATI All-In-Wonder remote.
1) Is it possible to use the ATI AIW remote *without* installing Girder? Apparently the software included with it supports at least some functionality...
2) What is necessary to get Girder to work with MC9? My current understanding is that you need to:
- Download and install Girder
- Open the .gml file from Media Center
- Go through and "train" the remote for the commands you want
- Save the file somewhere as the Girder default config
Is that all?
3) Do you need an additional plugin to support Girder in MC9? I noticed that the Girder website has plugins for Media Jukebox, marked v7, v8 and v9. Also, most of the instructions for using Girder with *Media Jukebox* gave detailed instructions for installing a plugin.
4) It seems like the MC9 .gml file is designed so that remote commands will *always* go to MC9. Is it possible to set it up so that remote commands will go to the foreground app? The Girder forums make a lot of references to including all kinds of checking code if you are going to be controlling multiple applications with the remote.
5) How about Girder & MyHTPC? Do you disable the Girder commands for MC9, and create a Girder command set for MyHTPC instead?
6) I've heard some allusions to the effect that the X10 remote control and the ATI All-In-Wonder remote are identical, or at least compatible. In this case, can the MC9 X10 plugin be used?
7) The .gml file includes commands for mjextman Commands and WMessage Commands. Both lists include the same commands. Which set should I use? What is the difference?
