Asus Remote plugin for Mediaportal (2 Viewers)

[medaust]

Hi Bennie,

Thanks for your reply. I have a MP machine in the lounge, which I am using all the time. I am in the process of setting up another MP machine, and incredibly I can not easily find a Microsoft MCE remote on sale in Australia. I have an Avermedia TV card, an Asus TV card and a Winfast TV card already, just don't want to get another Huapauge card just to use the remote.

Your program will be really handy if I can get it to work, I will try it on the new machine on weekend. In fact, most of the time, I only use the UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, ENTER(OK), BACK(ESCAPE) and HOME. Although, direct access to TV, Video & Music would be great.

Thanks again

Medaust

Hi Bennie,

I still need your help. I install MP on a new machine, and run your program, but there is no effect. I can not use Escape, Home or volumen up & down.

Could you point me a direction I can look into? Or how can I remap the keys with AutoHotKey? I need to find out what the original keys are for the Asus remote - like home, volume up & down. If I use notepad, there is nothing appears when I press those keys.

Thanks

I added 2 extra files to the ZIP
They are called Rude*

This new file will not check whether or not Mediaportal is running, so should always send the converted keys.
Another way to check if the normal script is working is by creating a new file with he name mediaportal.txt
Open it and see if the 7 and 8 keys are normally working. If they are sill working, than the script does not what it should.

With kind regards,
Ben

Hi Bennie,

Thank you very much for taking the time to upload the files. I tried them in MP and notepad, they don't seem to work. What could be missing?

Does your script also change the keyboard input too? When I typed with keyboard, they don't have any effect either.

Cheers

Just a small question, does this file work for the ASUS remote that's included in the ASUS eee Box B206?

DreD,

Try the following:
Do not install a thing (but the usb receiver)
Open notepad
Press the 1, 2, 3, 4 button and see if they are shown in notepad.
If so, you are able to control MP.
Maybe without doing a thing.
Maybe you have to play around with the different controls you can set in MP.
Or you can use autohotkey to program the keys yourself
If it is 100% compatible with mine (which looks completely different) you can use my scripts.

Greetz,
Ben

I'll have to give it a go then and see what happens.
I'll return with the results in a week when I'm back home again.

Hi, just tried it on my new ASUS eee Box B206 and the numbers appeared! Does this mean it should work?

Thanks

 

[BennieBoy]

Yep, it should work.
You may use the script provided or install autohotkey and make your own mappings if you want.

Succes,
Ben
