Problem:
Hi,
I've been trying, for two days now, to get my Logitech Harmony 555 remote to work with the IRTrans reciever from my OrigenAE S14V case. I followed all instructions in the MP manual and read almost every post on this forum I could find on the subject. Currently the remote only has the arrow keys, OK button and the Info button working.
So what I did so far is:
- made a harmony555.rem file and learned it all my keys.
- changed the remote name in MP config under IRTrans to harmony555.
- selected the IRTrans as my remote in MP config.
- removed the entries mention in MP manual from the apps.cfg. (I had the problem of it skipping a line)
- in the apps.cfg I changed all the default [remote]mediacenter into [remote]harmony555 (also tried it at default settings)
- made all the names in the harmony555.rem file the same as the names in the MP remote mapping section. (I did this as I thought it might communicate by name)
- copied the IRTrans mediacenter.xml and changed it to IRTrans harmony555.xml
To my knowledge these are all the settings people tell me to change in order to make it all work. But it doesn't work yet. The problem I think is that there has to be something else that tells MP what IRTrans is telling it. By that I mean for example:
- When I press Stop IRTrans has this code in it's .rem file and is named [Stop].
- MP has Stop also in it's mappinglist as Stop, but there is no way for me to link the two, other than the name.
I think the problem is in the link between the two programs, do I for example need to make a file that converts the IRTrans received information to a keystroke?
At the beginning the remotes arrow keys, OK and Info button worked out of the box. All the changes that I made so far has changed nothing. Also the Stop button is working, but not doing what it needs to do. It made my HTPC hang in between sleepmode and awake and the screen turns to black. Also the power to my USB front hub goes out, but the PC powerled does not change to orange (which means it off or at sleep).
I would really like some help as two days of trying is really starting to frustrate me.
