Control Media Portal with Pinnacle PCTV Remote (1 Viewer)

[Anonymous]

A Tipp:
I dont know if anyone post this before (nothing found on search, i swear ), but i setup the Pinnacle-Remote to work with Media Portal and make (basic) control of Media Portal possible:

First, setup PCTVRemote to start with Windows.
Then open C:\Programme\Pinnacle\Pinnacle PCTV\Remote\profiles.ini (or just search for profiles.ini).
Copy and paste the following, save and enjoy Media Portal with no girder or other plugin stuff. Stay tuned, more controls to come...

Hopefully it works for you

hi.

when the usb2 tuner have the remotecontrol where the yellow icon is diplayed in the taskbar, i should work.

you need the following content:

under section [title -] you must have

Media Portal -=Media-Center

and then the complete section [Media-Center].

Sure you can rename this... (but only the Media-Center !!)

if any question, please post.

greets

HI letouriste,

its very easy to add some more functions. You only need the original keycodes for the remote. This one you can find in the same folder as your "Remote Folder" (C:\Programme\Pinnacle\Pinnacle PCTV\Remote\remote.pdf). At the end of the pdf file u will find a picture with the original code. (pm me if u dont find this). There you can look up for an free key and add a new entry in the profiles.ini (at the end where the other MP functions listed) i.e.:

key37=KEYBOARD x+^x

Now u can swith to fullscreen by pressing the button below the zoom button (dont know what it is originally).
If u know a Keyboard control for shut down MP u can add this one too. Hope it works.

MfG Bucky

Have any of you tried IRAssistant? I programmed my Pinnacle remote using that and it works great. Very powerful. They have a Pinnacle driver too.

Thanx for the code!

But now I have another problem. I have the serial ir receiver from Pinnacle. When I push a button on the remote for instance when testing the remote in the yellow shortcut, the green lights keep on flashing and processor load is 99%!

What can I do to stop this?

The funny thing is that sometimes when I reboot and start Medioportal it works for a couple of seconds (this is how I tested your code and it works!)

Can it have anything to do with the optical mouse and its red light?

 

[dm15644]

Hi,

what do I have to do in MediaPortal setup to get this working?

How can I verify that the changes to profile.ini have an effect?

Thanks for help!
