Cool. I'd appreciate it if users can confirm if this works well for them.
Generic Keyboard/Remote Input Plugin (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter rsenden
- Start date
I'am also using this on 1.1 RC2, but I'am having some problems. I used the zip file from user heck, a few messages above this one.
It is working for a while but then suddenly it don't work anymore.
For example I have de key code 10079 (Control O) added to button name Info (for context menu). When playing a video en pressing this key nothing happens anymore. If I press F9 (MP context key defined) it show the context menu again.
I used the original version at the start of this thread on XP without any problem.

No this has not been fixed in any versions released. I had it in all versions....

After reading the post from hioctane, it occurred to me that you guys are maybe suffering from the same loss of focus that my MP has every time I start it. In my case this is caused by an option in the MiniDisplay plugin (restart driver) that I need to get my IR sensor working and "seeing" input from the remote control. I have put a crude workaround in place, which would explain why I haven't seen the "loss of mappings" described by some people in this thread, assuming that what really happened in all those cases was that MP lost focus.
So if any you have a problem with MP losing focus, here's my workaround for that issue: I wrote a very small script for a freeware tool called "autohotkey". The script can be compiled into an executable and autostarts on my MediaPC. It then checks every second if there is an open window that has "MediaPortal -" as the beginning of the window title, and if such a window is found it makes that window active, basically bringing focus back to MP.
This is what the script looks like:
--------------------------------------
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
Loop
{
IfWinExist MediaPortal -
{
IfWinNotActive
{
WinActivate
}
}
sleep, 1000
}
return
---------------------------
The tool can be found at: AutoHotkey - Free Mouse and Keyboard Macro Program with Hotkeys and AutoText

glsf91 could you please explain in detail what settings you are using in the KeyboardInputPlugin for that key that doesn't work (what action, condition, for a specific plugin or general fullscreen video, ...).
Maybe I can reproduce it and fix it. But I can't promise anything.
