Control4 Halo Touch remote control HTPC
« on: August 12, 2024, 09:18:04 am »

I know this may be a shot in the dark but I wanted to ask if anyone is using a Control4 remote to control JRiver when HT mode is enabled?   I have always done this with my Harmony but over the past few months I have been setting up Control4 for the theater and didn't think about controlling my HTPC while watching a movie.   

Thanks

At £882 GBP, I'd be surprised if you get a lot of response here. I'm sorry, but my jaw hit the desk when I saw the price!

I paid £140 GBP for two harmony smart controls ten years ago or so, and they're still going strong here. Such a good product, shame Logitech decided to shut it all down :(

Yeah...
I'm using an equally ancient Phillips Prestigo with resistive touchscreen, which whilst battered is still going strong.

You can probably also set it to emulate a standard Windows MCE remote, which JRiver will use.

The Halo is nice. On the Harmony, how were you communicating with JRiver? Like were you sending IR and picking that up with the HTPC?
