How to : Start MP with Hauppauge 45 buttons remote

[cedric]

- Open with notepad (or what you want) IrRemote.ini in C:/Windows
- Find the line : [Default]
- Under [Default] there are differents buttons (1=, 2=, TV=,...)
- Choose wich button you want to use to start mp
- Or add the name of the button if it isn't there (Green power Button --> GRNPOWER)
- Add this command line : {run(C:\Progra~1\Teamme~1\Mediap~1\Mediaportal.exe )}
- If you don't use the standard path, the path is in dos command (8 letters max, no space, ...), the exe is normal

Example: the green button start MP :
GRNPOWER={run(C:\Progra~1\Teamme~1\Mediap~1\Mediap ortal.exe)}
the videos button to start VLC
VIDEOS={run(C:\Progra~1\Videolan\VLC\vlc.exe)}

After that "restart IR"
To use this tip you have to add "Restart IR.exe" in the "automatic windows start menu" (I don't know the english name)

thanks! I just wanted to add, I had so much trouble getting the 8.3 filename right that I just added my MediaPortal directory to my PATH environment variable.

Works brilliantly!

Is it possible to map the home button to send the PC into Sleep mode?
