Asus Remote plugin for Mediaportal (2 Viewers)

Try setting the remote to MCE-remote in configuration.
Seems the remote does respond almost as good as the MCE remote

I managed to get the main buttons I need to work in MP by using the following script.

NOTE: This is just a rough script...... needs improvements.

; IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT GETTING STARTED: Lines that start with a
; semicolon, such as this one, are comments.  They are not executed.

; This script is a .INI file because it is a special script that is
; automatically launched when you run the program directly. By contrast,
; text files that end in .ahk are associated with the program, which
; means that they can be launched simply by double-clicking them.
; You can have as many .ahk files as you want, located in any folder.
; You can also run more than one .ahk file simultaneously and each will
; get its own tray icon.

; Please read the QUICK-START TUTORIAL near the top of the help file.
; It explains how to perform common automation tasks such as sending
; keystrokes and mouse clicks.  It also explains how to use hotkeys.

#IfWinActive, ahk_class WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.3ce0bb8
^p::Space					; 	Play/Pause
^s::b						;	Stop
^f::F8						;	Play Next

I'll also try enabling the MCE remote and see what happens

Thanx BennieBoy,
I tried setting enabling the MCE-remote option(both Europen and US), but that did not help. I also need to mention that I'm using MP 0.2 RC2 with cvs 03-13-2005.

hi, i am new here and the remotework nice, but some features misses. I have 4 buttons (my video, my music, my tv and my picture and it would be great if you get those to work as well. Also the volumebutton doesn't work and when i am in a movie i don't seem to stop it and get back to the previous menu.
Would be great if you could do anything about this!

Hi,

Someone asked me to put in the latest changes into the AHK file.
So, Hereby: http://www.profiler.nl/MediaPortal/Asus4MediaPortal.zip

4 extra buttons are define (radio/TV etc) so I can switch between different configurations of ffdshow.
You have to create your own reg files by exporting the configuration to a reg file (export button).
I put mine in d:\ffdshow\, but you can put them whereever you like (just change the script).

Furthermore, I use the
- 7 button to change aspect
- 9 toggle fullscreen

still need help

Hi Bennie,

I have a Asus 7131 tv card remote. I downloaded your program, unziped and put them in one directory. After I run the exe file, there is a green H button at the right side of the taskbar. However, in MP(1.00), I can only do up, down, left, right, enter, the numbers and channel up and down. I have configured MP to use MCE remote. In notepad, the numbers work, the back button work same as backspace.
So I need to do any registry change, where should I put your two files?
It would be great if I could get this remote work with MP. Especially Microsoft remote is not available in Australia anymore.
Thanks

Medaust

Medaust,

First you should disable the MCE remote in MP.
Secondly, you can put the files everywhere you like (you only need the exe if you do not want to change the definition)
If you want to tweak the keys, you need to download (and install) autohotkey.
To startup the program, you can add a shortcut in your startup folder in start/programs/startup

Have fun,
Ben

Hi Bennie,

Thanks for your reply. I tried in MP configure, in the remote section I unticked "use microsoft MCE remote", it is still the same. In notepad, I can not tell any difference with or without your program running. After I run your program, I have a green H at the right side of the taskbar.

What else do I need to do to disable microsoft MCE remote in MP? I even unplugged the MCE remote from the USB port.

By the way, I use a stripped down (nlited) version of XP, does this make any difference? I may try this on another PC tonight.

Thanks again

Medaust

The autohotkey script checks whether or not Mediaportal is the active program.
So it should give the same effect in Notepad with or without the autohotkey script.


I use an nlited version of XP too, so that should not influence.

Question:
Why use this remote when you already have an MCE remote?
