Does anyone know if I can use my TV card remote control (linked to the TV card) as remote control for MC10 ? Eventually over Girder ?

Have a look at this page "http://www.dschnabel.de/irdoku.htm"

The site is in german, but explains quite well the possibilities for changing the existing "irremote.ini" found in the Windows directory.

I'm using a PVR350 with another remote as the 250 but basically you can reconfigure the buttons like you want.

First of all you have to add the application "Media Center=" below the line "[Applications]"

Afterwards you could add for example the following lines I'm using :

[Media Center]
FULLSCREEN={ctrl}w
BACK={esc}
MUTE={Ctrl}m
VOLUP={ctrl}{add}
VOLDOWN={ctrl}{subtract}
CHNLUP={ctrl}n
CHNLDOWN={ctrl}l
OK={enter}
STOP={ctrl}s
PAUSE={ctrl}p
PLAY={ctrl}p
REWIND={ctrl}{left}
FASTFWD={ctrl}{right}
SKIPFWD={ctrl}n
SKIPREV={ctrl}l
BACK={esc}
MENU={menu}
FUNC={tab}
0={ctrl}{shift}0
1={ctrl}{shift}1
2={ctrl}{shift}2
3={ctrl}{shift}3
4={ctrl}{shift}4
5={ctrl}{shift}5
GRNPOWER={alt}{f4}
********************

I use the numPad of the remote to give a rating to the current song.

In fact you can control other applications or even switch between applications using for example the following commands
"GREEN={close(wintv2k.exe)}{sleep(750)}{run(C:\Progra~1\JRiver~1\MediaC~1\MediaJ~1.exe)}"
The green button on my remote closes WinTV and starts Media Center.

You have to try different settings to suite your preferences.

Some remarks at the end :
1) When finished editing the irremote.ini file you have to use the "Restart IR" command from the WinTV Start-Menu.
2) You can't use the "Write Playing" Plugin because the remote needs the name appearing in the taskbar.
3) the remote acts only for the currently active window, so you have to use the "Go" key to switch between open applications.

Good luck

I know you could with version 9 i havent had time to try it with version 10!

I used my pvr250 ir with girder and d/l'ed a gml which enabled me to control media center.. www.girder.nl/mediajukebox/ is useful link and the file was called mc9_131.gml i eventually went on to program my pronto so i could get rid of hauppauge ir

Hope this is of use

I copied the settings above into my irremote.ini file, restarted IR, and it seems to work for most of the commands, but several don't.

I checked these commands against the hotkey list and they still appear to be correct. Can anyone explain why some commands would work and others wouldn't?

For example, I can skip to the next track and go to the previous track, but I can't ff or rew within a track. And the stop button works but the play button doesn't...

Thanks!
