    Hello,
    Since age, Irtrans config buttons wasn't modified in MP.
    Then, I changed and added little things.
    1/ I modified the fullscreen and tvfullscreen "prev" and "next" buttons then, when I watch a "DIVX" movie or timeshift the TV, I can do +/-15 sec navigate with these buttons.
    2/ The most important is the "0".
    I was not able to delete a video or, a tvserie file with this remote button, I had to go in file menu/delete item/blabla....
    And also, ability to use "0" for previous watched channel in tvfullscreen.
    Now, it is possible.
    I have to save and restore this file each time because, MP release replace it.
    Then, I put the xml here, if you think it's better for users then maybe, a future integration in MP ?

    CU.

    You can store it as custom files, in progdata folder? As hid device.

    Hello azzuro,

    The default folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\defaults\InputDeviceMappings
    The problem is not only MP release replace the .xml file.

    I give you 2 examples :

    1/ I am a user with a little PC and a little remote.
    I have a NUC PC with a compatible HID MCE IR receiver and a Logitech Harmony 350 remote.
    I install MP for the first time.
    Waouh, all my remote buttons are working, MP is really a great software, it works fine out of the box ! :cool:

    2/ I am a user with a big HTPC aluminium case and a big remote.
    I have a Origenae X15E with touchscreen, an embedded Irtrans IR receiver and a Logitech Harmony 900 remote with RF blaster.
    I install MP for the first time.
    What ? I can't use my expensive equipment out of the box ? Because I have Irtrans IR, I can only use partial remote buttons ? :(
    I need to add mapping ? :mad:
    Pfff, MP should at least give a correct minimal mapping for this. :(

    That's why this modifications are.
    Note that I didn't add extra or specific buttons for my personal use, only added some buttons existing in HID mapping and not for Irtrans.
    And even with that, I doubt Irtrans is at the same level than HID full mapping...

    I mean, when you edit this files, normally your copy is put to data folder with "custom" as prefix or suffix filename and and this files has priority on file placed in app folder.

    If I'm not wrong, I never see it for Irtrans.
    Also, adding a custom filename is not a good idea in this case because, filename need to be the same as filename in folder Irtrans application (as ecplained in the wiki).
    But for a VFD (M-Play Blast in my case), I confirm modified file is copied in progdata.

    Sorry to ask this but I'm not front of computer,
    Where is stored the xml?
    If stored close to irtrans exe file, maybe put original to "default device mapping" folder and create new button in configuration to restore defaut value under irtrans settings part, this allow to have custom file save in prog mp folder.

    It's not a xml but a .rem file :

    Maybe because of "standard" progdata folder ?
    I add to copy it manually :

    BTW, all you explain will not fix the partial remote working with Irtrans receiver at first stage...

    Bon, je vais la faire en francais, j'y pige pas trop.
    pour ma part quand je modife le mapping IRtrans dans MP config, il me crée une copie dans %programdata% à l'emplacement et utilise celui la par défaut en remplacement de celui d'origine, donc normalement toutes les modifs que tu fais ne doivent pas être supprimé, concernant le fichier rem, je ne sais pas comment il fonctionne.

    si je comprend bien, ton dossier data se trouve dans "mesdocuments" .

    mais bien sur si tu as un fix pour le fichier d'origine, je suis preneur (pour les autres) ;)

    Donc en français :
    Chez moi, le fichier ne se copie pas, je ne sais pas pourquoi et, ce n'est pas important ni le sujet.
    Le fichier .rem est le fichier de config de l'appli irtrans, chez moi il a cette forme :

    zz1.png

    Mais comme tu peux le voir, MP demande à ce que son fichier .xml ait le même nom que le fichier .rem :

    zz2.png

    Le fix est tout simple, je l'ai déjà fourni, il n'y a rien de bien compliqué là dedans.
    Il suffit juste de remplacer l'actuel fichier "IrTrans mediacenter.xml" intégré à MP par celui que j'ai posté au début de ce post, afin d'avoir un peu plus de commandes qu'actuellement, c'est tout. ;)
