Sorry Roxor, what do you mean by inputservice?

"...IR Server Suite\Input Service\Input Service.exe"
It's the Server Suite - Sevice

....
the switch to 24p mode is done by CTRL+SHIFT+4 back to 50hz mode is CTRL+SHIFT+5!
You should define this profiles in you ATI Catalyst Manager, for NVidia i dont know how to do that
...

Wich Resolution did you set up there?

Hi,

@MoPhat: thanx for the great plugin, it works super for me.

But:
I use MP, HD-Starter Plugin, PDVD7, Antec Fusion case with iMon IR Receiver with iMon software with a MCE remote control. The MP and PowerDVD keyboard shortcuts are mapped to the RC buttons in iMon Manager. Everything works fine besides:

I can map "H" for PDVD to toggle available audio streams playing Bluray to a MCE RC button but it does not toggle audio. Instead a context menü comes up. This happens only with PDVD started from MP. If I start PDVD manually, audio stream toggle works fine. Subtitle toggle with "U" works always fine. I tried PDVD8 before, I did not have this weird issue with it (abandoned because of lack of HDDVD and annoying resume nag screen).

I assume this is a problem of an active "HD_STARTER" in the tray. I guess it tries to send / translate MP control imputs for PDVD. But I don´t need this, iMon takes care of it already. Anyone an idea? Help/comments appreciated.

Edit:
I found the solution. I edited the hd_starter source code, deleted all the shortcut translation stuff at the end and recomplied it. This did the trick. For Antec and iMon users this can be very useful. If someone wants the modified hd_starter.exe, just ask.

Edit:
I attached this edited HD-Starter.exe file (source from post Nr. 1 of this thread, remote translation section simply removed and new compiled) for other iMon users.

Thanks for the file! i will try it out soon! the imon software doesnt seem to be all bad after all. i hope it will work with cybrdisplay plugin as well...that would be perfect!

Guys,

I noticed that on my system, when PowerDVD loads, the mouse stays center and never goes away.I dont know if anyone else got this problem, but it annoyed me. I wrote a simple c# app to get rid of the mouse. It's so simple infact, here is the source:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

namespace Hide_Mouse
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position 
                = new System.Drawing.Point(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height);
        }
    }
}

I've also attached a rared up exe of the app. All you need to do is set it to run at logon

I would like a way to map a remote key to my MCE remote to change between profiles in catalyst. (I've got three profiles - 24, 25 and 30 hz.

Also I would love to get rid of the mouse pointer in both powerdvd8 and media player classic.. anyone knows how to do it??
