InputDeviceMapper has been updated to work with MediaPortal 0.2.0.0. However, most of the functionality of InputDeviceMapper has been superceeded by the InputMapper system included in MediaPortal. The main reason for my updating this plugin was that InputDeviceMapper is able to "learn" a remote, whereas the included InputMapper system requires a predefined set of inputs for each device.
Anyone wishing to write device plugins for InputDeviceMapper should consider using InputMapper instead.
InputDeviceMapper accepts events passed to it by other plugins, maps them to Actions or Keystrokes, and then passes those Actions or Keystrokes on to MediaPortal for processing. Essentialy, InputDeviceMapper provides a centralized location for user-configuration of input devices (remote controls, gamepads, etc.).
By itself InputDeviceMapper does not "do" anything, but, when used in conjunction with an input device plugin such as NewWinLirc or iveDriveIR, it becomes a powerful means of controlling MediaPortal.
The mappings used by InputDeviceMapper are completely configurable, allowing any event to be mapped to any Action or Keystroke, at the user's dicrestion.
Version 0.5 of InputDeviceMapper has now been uploaded. This version updates the plugin to be compatible with MediaPortal 0.2.0.0.
The latest version is available here.
