MCE Remote and IRTrans (1 Viewer)

[stdly]

I bought a new MCE303 Silver HTPC case with a IRTrans reciever and a MCE remote. I already had a Vista MCE remote that works with the new case and IRTrans. The problem is that the Vista MCE remote (which is way nicer looking) has more buttons than the stock MCE remote and some of the extra buttons do not work like "zoom", is there a way to map these buttons?

I just helped a friend with irtrans and we ended up editing the config file for irtrans

go to program files/irtrans/remote/apps.cfg open it with notepad ( also backup this file first just to make sure it never hurts)

at the top you should have something like this

[APP]*
  [ACTIVE]
  [TYPE]KEY
  [REMOTE]mediacenter

    1		[KEY]1

    GREEN	[KEY]\ALT\SHIFT1
    BLUE	[KEY]\ALT\CTRL2
    YELLOW	[KEY]\ALT\CTRL\SHIFT1
  [END-COMMANDS]

Try adding this after what button you want to use [KEY]\S

We actually had a problem where the back button wouldnt work but we fixed this by adding

    BACK	[KEY]\ESC

Thanks for your reply. Mine file is a bit different but your suggestion to look at the apps.cfg file was a good one. I had another problem this helped. I had a pop up error from windows mediacenter when I used the dedicated buttons for video, radio and so on. I noticed the [RUN] command at the end of these items as in the code below. I removed the [RUN] text from the file and Mediaportal reactes as it should now.

Still can't get ZOOM to work as you can see I added the command at the bottom of the code as seen below but it doesn't work. Yet!
I will try /S as well thanks again!
