Hi Everyone,
I have had my media PC up for a month now and most things are working well now. I do have one query I have not been able to work out, and was hoping someone may know.

I have been using the remote that came with my Hauppauge HVR-4000 to control my media PC, its the 45 button Hauppauge remote and seems to work great, the problem I have though is that whenever I use one of the many other remotes in my home theatre room to control the TV, AV receiver etc mediaportal detects it as a remote code and processes it. What results is that im trying to alter the volume on the amp, or change a TV channel and media portal is changing menus etc.

I can confirm this is not a case of the Hauppauge remote having the same remote codes as any of my other equipment, and all of my remotes seem to trigger a response on the computer.

I am using the default Hauppauge plugin from the remotes section of the mediaportal configuration.

Does anyone know how I can 'narrow' down or select the specific codes that mediaportal responds to, so that the computer only responds to the Hauppauge remote, and none of my other 9 remotes!

Many many thanks
Jonathan

Hi

Try opening the irremote.ini (c:\windows or c:\windows\system32), and find the [SystemCode] section. Try to disable other sections than the one used by your remote. You have to run Restart IR after you have done the changes.

[SystemCode]
;Format: system code number=Name of section where command values are defined.
;0=HCWClassic
31=HCWPVR

Hi,
I have tried Lars K's advice of disabling different sections (and even tried disabling all sections) in the irremote.ini file however it makes no difference - other remotes still conflict. Because I disabled all sections from the [SystemCode] section im not entirely sure that its having any effect - as remotes still conflicted and the Hauppauge remote still works.

Does anyone have any more advice or helpful tips?

Thanks again
Jonathan

Have you disabled the other Hauupauge remotes under MP configuration? It might help.

MP Config -> remote -> hauppauge -> learn (!) -> mapping -> select the other two remotes, and delete them.

Hi,

as Andreas said. You have to delete the mapping for the hauppauge 21-button remote. This mapping is causing those problems.
