How to get your PCTV Stereo remote working! (1 Viewer)

[DarkWader]

This will only work on the SERIAL/COMport remote. USB is not supported by the program.

First, download the free PCTV remote program from Boogersoft or sourceforge
Dont bother with the one that came with your installation cd. This one IS better.

I have created a config file that works on Mediaportal, Meedio and MCE.

The P, L and I buttons will launch the different mediacenters.
The OFF button will close the active window/application (does not work with Meedio)
Some buttons are not what they appear, because the lack of buttons on the remote.
Just try and memorize what the individual button does, or change it too your likings.

Now when you have installed the program and started it, rightclick the icon in the tray and "Edit Config File"

Copy paste the following code and save. Restart the remote application.

Here is a picture of the remote that I use, and the one the config fits.
There is also a key-map, so you can edit the config.

I used your config with great success ! However I am missing a very important function for me :any chance to map a button for changing subtitles (vobsub) ... somehow I cannot make it work ...
