MCE Remote Green Button.....again (1 Viewer)

[yogi_bear_79]

I am sure this has all been covered, I read many posts, but still no luck. I have the MCE remote, the green button does nothing. I have mptray installed and running, many reboots later still nothing. Currently I have my HTPC setup to launch MP on login, and send it to the tray. I do most admin via DameWare, so sometimes when I come back to the TV my MP is still minimized. How can I get the green button or any button to maximize/minimize.

Finally, might as well figure out how to map a button to start MP if it is not started.

Hi

When you unzipped the files (4) into the C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal folder, did you run the install.bat file and then mptray.exe.

Check that mptray.exe is running in task manager and let us know.

Hi there

I answered similar question a few days ago in this thread.

Please see there if it will be of assistance.

Then you mentioned mptray. There is also a mptrayMOD that might work better.

edit: oops - beaten

mptray is definatley running in the task manager. WINXP PRO if that helps

"I am using IR Server Suite. A program called Translater is also installed. In Translater, I configured Green Button to launch MP."

I will look into IRSS when I get home, though I think I at least tried it once. Is Translater a plugin for MP?

Translator is a separate windows program. Not a MP plugin. You can configure various things for normal windows with it. Most common: launch MP.

Make sure in your system tray that it is running.

Also you do not need mptray if using IRServersuite, as you then have 2 components trying to do the same thing.

My MCE remote came with my Happauge 2250. I installed the small IR software that came with it. Do I still need that, or should I uninstall that, and use IRSS

Does this remote have a small plug that goes into the TV card itself, or does it plug into usb socket.

 

[yogi_bear_79]

USB with a 2" x 2" receiver. There are two smaller IR receivers about the size of a pencil erase that are not being used

Really not sure, as I was hoping it was going to be the other way around.

anyway see if running the translator (part of IRSS) does the job in launching MP when the green button is pressed.

I take it your remote is this one
