Summary:

Hauppauge is shipping a new 35-buttons Remote Control (model no. DSR-0112) with their USB DVB-T cards. The new remote shares the codes of the 45-buttons remote but has a different remote code. I added support to this remote code but I don't know how to upload the modifications.

Area: Hardware - Remote Control

Description:

Adding support to this remote is as easy as adding a new remote code to RemotePlugins/Remotes/HcwRemote/HCWHelper/HCWHelper.cs. The differences between the original (Revision 21478) and my modified version are as follows:

***** HCWHelperOriginal.cs
   41:      private const int HCWPVR2 = 0x001E; // 45-Button Remote
   42:      private const int HCWPVR = 0x001F; // 34-Button Remote
***** HCWHELPER.CS
   41:      private const int HCWPVR2 = 0x001E; // 45-Button Remote
   42:      private const int HCWPVR2_35BUTTONS = 0x001D; // 35-Button Remote
   43:      private const int HCWPVR = 0x001F; // 34-Button Remote
*****

***** HCWHelperOriginal.cs
  294:              case HCWPVR2:
  295:                remoteCommand = keyCode + 2000;
***** HCWHELPER.CS
  295:              case HCWPVR2:
  296:              case HCWPVR2_35BUTTONS:
  297:                remoteCommand = keyCode + 2000;
*****

Also, I have added a new section to the XML file defining the remotes (MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\defaults\Hauppauge HCW.xml) to support this remote.

I am attaching HCWHelper.cs (zipped) and Hauppauge HCW.xml

Hope a developer could include it in the next release.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem as you were with the DSR-0112 Remote. I'm really pleased you've come up with a solution to the problem. I've download the HcwHelper.cs and the .xml document that you have posted. I've put the .xml file in the right folder and I now have the option to choose the 35 button remote. However I'm new to MediaPortal and C# and am unsure how use the .cs file.

I'm assuming the HcwHelper.cs replaces HcwHelper.exe in "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal" after it has been compiled? I've tried compiling the .cs file but I get errors on line 31 "using MediaPortal.Configuration;" (also on lines 32, 33, 35 & 50).

I'd be really grateful if you could explain how I could get this working, it's driving me crazy!

Thanks in advance.

I don't know why it is not compiling. Probably you tried to compile just the file instead of the whole HcwHelper. Nevertheless, since the developers don't seem to incorporate the patch to the MediaPortal distribution I am attaching my compiled version of the HcwHelper.

Hope this help.

Nothing but immediate fixes are getting put into code for 1.0.2 atm, so yes very viable addition, just not yet

Thanks for compiling this for me. It works a treat.

Thanks again.
