What do you mean ? I can press and hold the volume down button for example and the volume goes all the way from 100% to 0%.

There are no stupid questions. However, I am not aware of a function like this.

I hope there will be a way to use the gyroscope. I would definitively buy one

Hi!

thanks for the answers!

With long keypress I mean eg holding the Green button for say 5 secs.. Volume up and down is a repeat function. Eventghost has functionality for this, but I haven't gotten it to work with my Gyration remote.

thanks,
Jens

I have described the setup procedure as detailed as possible in this thread... what exactly is your problem ?

Hi there. I don't see how AutoHotKey would be capable of completely intercepting the Power button event on the Gyration remote. Could you shed some more light on this and post the code you are using?

#NoTrayIcon
#SingleInstance force

OnMessage(0x218, "WM_POWERBROADCAST")
 
WM_POWERBROADCAST(wParam, lParam)
    {
    If wParam=0
        {
	Process, Exist, MediaPortal.exe
	If ( errorlevel > 0 )
;		Process, Close, MediaPortal.exe
		Send, !{F4}
	Else
		Run, "C:\Programme\Team MediaPortal\RC.exe"
        Return  0x424D5144
        }
    Else
        Return
    }

Has anyone had any success with the MyKeys plugin that was mentioned on the first page of this thread? It's not working for me with the 1.0 RC1 version of MediaPortal. I dropped it into the correct plugin folder, activated it in the configuration dialog, but none of the key actions, even when using the keyboard, translate into a direct jump to Videos, Pictures etc.

Works fine here with RC1.

Thanks -- will have another look tonight. Perhaps I am accidentally intercepting the key actions through AutoHotKey.
