Hi, I'm not sure If you have the same remote as me but I have the Pinacle 310i.

I havent yet found a way of using my remote with the MP, but I know that it can be used with other applications, such as Windows Media Player. If It can be used with this then it should be possible to use it with the MP.

Because of the nature of the Pinnacle remote (it talks to the PC using an IR port connect directly into the TV card) it unfortunately needs Pinnacle's intermediate software to capture the IR signals and then to map them onto keypresses.

So, my estimation is that:
1. You need to have Pinnacle's remote recieving software installed

2. You need to edit the Pinnacle remote mapping file. This is just a text file and is found in the Program files of Pinnacle's software (unfortunately I do not know the folder or the file name as I presently have not installed Pinnacle's software, because it isnt very good)

3. The remote mapping file must now be changed to transform button presses into the relevent keyboard strokes that you need

I hope this helps. Let me know if you get anything working

I have a Pinnacle PCTV 2000i Dual DVB-T Pro card and the remote is working good with MP.
As superted says you need to install the pinnacle remote application for it to work. Then you have to edit your profiles.ini file.
There are some threads about it in the forum, do a search.
If you want I can send you my profiles.ini file.

Thanks for the replies.
Will the profile.ini for the pinnacle 310i on the forum work??

 

[EasyTargeT]

It didn't for me, I used it as a base and edited it to get it working.
It also depends on if you have the remote type a or b, I have b.

Awesome, I'm glad you got it working,

If its ok could you send me your .ini file?
