Controling ffdshow with a remote (1 Viewer)

[Henkie Flits]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone has a good guide on how to make ffdshow, which now has a important role in MePo, be controlled using the RM200 remote which is included with the Antec Fusion Remote case. I would love to hear about it, thanks in advance!

In case it helps anyone out there... I figured it out myself.
I activated a few hotkeys in FFDshow and then setup my Imon-remotesoiftware to place certain FFDshow hotkeys under buttons which I don't use (f.e. eject etc.) I then added a few custum buttons to my Logitech 555 remote which then used f.e. the Eject-command. Now I can switch Subtitles, Audiostreams and the OSD-functions using my remote.

Works great!
