Remote problems. Antec Fusion Micro 350

[SN33K]

OK i got a problems with my mediacenter. I had a asus pundit P4 2.6ghz before this build but it was not fast enough to play HD content so i decided to upgrade. But it seems the old system was way more easy to configure then this system. I'm already playing like 2 days with the configurations etc... but i cant seem to get things working.
maybe you guys can help me out? i even reinstalled VISTA 64 bit to see if a reinstall could solve the problem.

My remote ain't working with mediaportal.
OK i got Imon software running on my Antec Fusion Micro 350 to let the display and remote work. Then i installed the plugin MCE replacement tool because on my old configuration it worked like a charm. but now it gives me an error. See the image.

So i gave up on the MCE replacement tool and took a try on the IR Server suite

I used these settings but still no luck

Hi,

Have you loaded translator and under the programs tab tried to launch a program with a remote press WITH version 1.4.2.

Granted this isnt ideal but it should get you going.

check out my post here: http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/297385-post5.html

maybe this helps. I could set everything I wanted for my Antec Fusion 430. Even Display infos, equalizer from Mediaportal.

No need for IR-Suite or anything else strange.

i have a 350 and i got it working using the imon software... basically set it to whatever remote you use... go to program setting or commands or summin and create a new profile for mp and then jus set up the buttons corresponding to the shortcut keys in mp... i did this using my mce remote and worked like a charm... but this wasn't on vista so i dunno but its worth a shot

I tried to do this but some keys are greyed out? Do you use IR built into the case? i dont have mce IR connected? is this is the case?What version of IMon do you run?what about the settings in media portal rc3? do you sleect MCE remote there? Only four arrows keys work by default and the back key is mapped to back and NOT to escape...

i tried this but stil no luck


1. do not install Antec software. Get iMon 7.020.0502 from their website :undGraph::: Innovation of Human on Digital Network and install it (without imedianHD)
2. Install iMon and CybrDisplay v.782 Plugin for Mediaportal, configure it as described in its thread (choose display type and connection, and iMon Driver; see 2nd screenshot)

in iMon Manager you have to do the followings:
- set MCE as remote device
- map the left, right, up, down and OK keys of the RC in Settings/Windows commands/ (or like that, i have it in german). Deactivate the rest (to avoid conflicts with other apps)
- add PowerDVD and Mediaportal under Settings/Application commands to create a profile, you can delete rest if you want (I had Internet Explorer, Powerpoint etc there; see screenshot in german)
- map your RC-Keys to the functions you need (just check out the keyboard shortcut lists of MP and PDVD) or load mediaportal.imo and pdvd.imo file (.imo config files attached as zip!, import them and modify them to your liking!!!!)
- choose your default sound device to get controlled through the volume knob of the Antec case (this does not work with Vistas normal driver, you have to install the dedicated driver of the manufacturer like Realtek etc; my setting is "realtek hd audio HDMI")

Imon switches between the profiles according to the application in the foregroung ("in focus"). If you load PDVD from MP, it switches to PDVD mode, on return to MP it switches back to MP mode. It works great!!

needed files:
- iMon 7.020.0502 from their website
- CybrDisplay v.782 (latest from MP), configure it for the iMon Driver 7.20.0520

this happens to me also with different versions of iMon. Sometimes is the "back" and "menü" buttons are greyed out (the up, down, left, right and OK are always). If I am at home I will post a config file where they are not locked. btw which buttons are greyed out?

good decision, this works always.

but the fact that the up-down-left-right keys are greyed out is normal. This means they work only are not configurable. This is not a problem because you would configure this like that anyway!
