Hi,
I have installed Media Portal on PC having the PCI dvb-t card mentioned in subject.

The remote that came with the tv card has exactly the same buttons of this, http://www.hauppauge.com/Pages/press/presspictures/HVR-1300_board+mceremote.jpg
but different lay out.

Does this means that I have an Hauppage card so I have to enable this function in the set up in order to have the remote working?

Thanks

    Unlikely, since its different hardware (both remote and IR receiver) I would imagine they would be using different remote codes. And if its anything like the MCE2005 remote, it will work off identifying hardware IDs. Cant hurt to try though can it? :wink:

    Somehow it would if I ignore if it "has to work" or if "it may work". :wink:

    However please be aware tha Media Portla works perfectly on a Toshiba dvb-t hybbrid analog digital tuner integrated on a notebook qosmio g20.

    I have anoher question but I will open a new post. I hope this is wha you want, if not, please let me know.

    ciao ciao

    As I wrote in PM, pinnacle remotes works associating the key on the remote control to a key in the keyboard. So, when you press a key on the remote the effect is the same as a key pressed in the keyboard. In every application.

    In order to edit the association between remote and keyboard, you have to edit the profiles.ini file in one of the sudirectory created by pinnacle installation.

    Thanks for the help, but still I would like to know how to set the remote in media portal setting. I understand that then it may not work perfectly, but some commands should work even if associated with the wrong key. I am asking this because I do not get any response using the remote with media portal, but the test signal that works perfectly.

    Ciao from italy

    Ok I tryed and found it is nearly impossible.
    I need to create a command set in the profile.ini for EACH window mediaportal has.

    It is too much in my opinion.

    Ok it works!!!!

    Thanks

    Only one small modification:

    [Media Portal] must be corrected in [MediaPortal] otherwise the windows is not recognized.

    I have modified the program launch line but it does not work. I do not understand why, because it is so simple and clear what the .ini line does!!!

    I wanted to achieve that pressing the P for Pinnacle on the remote Media Portal was launched instead but nothing happens.

    Ciao

    yes, you are right.............. i copy it from my old mp 1.2 config file and don't remember that starting from 1.3 correct string is [mediaportal]

    this is default part of my profile.ini and the "P" working great
