Ongoing Silverstone lc16m, MediaPortal and front-panel help? (1 Viewer)

[BoelShit]

I got the front panel minus wheel up and working after some googling, without going the dreaded Girder route =)

Thr key (pun intended) was a little program, www.autohotkey.com

By using the scipt below (save as AutoHotKey.ini so it will be executed on startup), the front panel keys can be mapped up to pretty much anything.

;previous track
SC110::F7             	         	

;next
SC119::F8
             		

;stop
SC124::b

;play/pause
SC122::p              	      	

;mute
SC120::Enter            	

;vol up
;routed to arrow up
SC130::Up

;vol down
;routed to arrow up
SC12E::Down

You mean the front panel keys or the knob. I don't quite understand. Also.. my front panel keys are working fine like they supposed to? I only hate that wheelknob which I cant configure!

ahhh maybe I see your point.. you redirected the 3 panel keys which are represented in the knob already..

Lemme know!

I will try to formulate my "problem":
I have a Silverstone lc16m HTPC case. This case has a number of buttons as well as a control wheel in its front panel. Up until now, none of these has been used at my place. If Windows Media PLayer was used, these buttons could be used to skip track, play/stop etc. If any button was pressed while inside MediaPortal, nothing happened.

By doing what I described above, essentially remapping "multimedia hotkeys" to any other "key-press", I was able to use all front-panel buttons to control corresponding functions in MediaPortal, except the wheel. For me that is progress.

with regards
Knut

Knut,

I also have the lc16-m case.. I had those buttons working a long time so that is why I asked.

If you're running latest SVN there is also a possibility to select General HID devices to be used... Such as the front panel knobs...

I really am gonna try your suggestion regarding the autohotkey: Using the knob for volume/mute and the three buttons to be redirected like you did!

If you read my posts carefully, you will see that I did not get any thing out of the wheel =)

What did you do to get those buttons working? I think there is a lot of info floating around here, but not enought guides in the wiki. Setting up a lc16m/iPAD would be an excellent topic for a guide.

Remapping the Volume Knob for LC16-M

I didnt find any info about this "keyboard" extension
My plan was to use it to play music without turn on TV

It's almost done but in strange way.

I use girder and only the wheel can be manage.

I assign "turn left" to Down, "turn right" to Up and "push" to Enter

I can now navigate to music menu

According to the documentation or test review (I dont remember) the other front keys can manage directly Microsoft Media Player.

It works ! I can use play, stop, previous and next track.

The only bad thing is that the title of the track stay always the same on the display.

Hi

Can you tell me how you achieved this in girder, I would like to remap the vol button in exactly the same why, so i can navigate the menus.

Thank you
Mike
