Title: Looking for plugin for ATI Remote Wonder Plus RF Remote
Post by: gminor on July 24, 2007, 09:41:03 pm

Greetings!  My ATI Remote Wonder Plus RF type remote works for several functions within the Media Console accept for pause and stop while playing a video file.  Does anyone know of a compatible plugin or other solution for this remote that might address this issue?   Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

There's no specific plugin for MC unfortunately.

For a long while I used the Remote Wonder Key Factory (http://remotew.free.fr/plugins.htm#rwkey) with my RW2.  This plugin allows you to reassign any key on the remote to match any keypress (such as Control-P) you want, as opposed to being able to just reassign the colored buttons.  The big downside is that you can't specify these actions on a per-application basis.  Meaning, you can't have a button do one thing when MC is "in front" and another thing when a different application is "in front".  It's all or nothing.

I've since bought a Snapstream FireFly remote and am using it via Girder.  (Girder also works perfectly well with the ATI remotes.)  I'm very happy with the setup!  It takes a little bit more time to figure Girder out, but Girder4 isn't bad and it works well and easily once you "get it".
