Asus Remote plugin for Mediaportal (5 Viewers)

[BennieBoy]

You have to install AutoHotKey (just search for it in Google)
Then you just put the script in Programs/ Startup.

The script runs independent of Mediaportal.
It just maps certain keyspresses to other keypresses and events

I installed autohotkey and have it auto start in Programs/ Startup but im not sure whats next as your file will not download for some reason ?

I just repaired the link. Should work now

Hi,

maybe not a real plugin, but an executable which will make your Asus Remote work with MediaPortal.

It is ment for the HID remote which is silver colored and delivered with the TV/FM 713x card.

This plugin will send the appropriate commands to Media Portal.
Most keys do what you expect them to do.

The "Tab" key will give you the possibility to enter Shifted mode.
In the shifted mode, the back and Home key gets different meaning.

Home = Switch aspect ratio = x
Shift Home = Show Info = F3

back = go back = ESC
shift back = switch fullscreen/preview = x

You can find the executable & ahk file here:

If you have any remarks, please shoot (but not with live amo)

Have Fun,
Ben

Hi BennieBoy, thanks for your work! But I followed your steps but it doesn't work yet. The script seems to work but nothing change in remote. Trying to type 7-8 numbers on a notepade's file called "mediaportal" it writes just 6-7-8 numbers.

It runs on a windows 7 x64 and MP is laterst version. My remote is the silver one.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance
