[QUOTE="level20peon, post: 193709, member: 28613"] Hey, I would like to (re-)map some buttons on my remote. It is a [URL="http://www.gyration.com/p-21-universal-remote-control-for-pc-media-center-and-audiovideo-functions.aspx"]Gyration GYR3101US[/URL] but I think this concerns other remotes as well. It basically is an MCE remote but the problem is that it uses RF instead of IR so the standard MCE plugins as well as the MediaPortal Configuration -> Remote -> Microsoft MCE don't work (I have to use "General HID"). What I am looking for is hard to explain so I will just try to give it a shot: ([I]I am refering to "[COLOR="Lime"]standard buttons[/COLOR]" when the button works inside MediaPortal with the "general HID" option activated and refering to "[COLOR="Red"]non working buttons[/COLOR]" when I wasn't able to see an event triggered by it anywhere[/I]) I am looking for a possibility to map buttons which aren't mapped by default inside MediaPortal or even Windows. I first tried by mapping EVERY single button available inside the MediaPortal Configuration -> Remote -> General HID -> mapping. The [COLOR="Red"]non working buttons[/COLOR] didn't trigger anything I mapped inside MediaPortal. So I tried [URL="http://www.autohotkey.com/"]Autohotkey[/URL] which allows to monitor every keystroke by using a keyboard- / mousehook. Some [COLOR="Lime"]standard buttons[/COLOR] triggered an event, others didn't (note: even the ones which don't trigger an event work inside MediaPortal). The [COLOR="Red"]non working buttons[/COLOR] didn't trigger anything at all (neither in AutoHotkey nor in MediaPortal). I also tried [URL="http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/"]AutoIt 3[/URL] but according to their [URL="http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/docs/"]documentation[/URL] the buttons I am looking for are not supported at all. Note: I use [URL="http://www.autohotkey.com/"]Autohotkey[/URL] and [URL="http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/"]AutoIt[/URL] for other purposes and have remapped some buttons in the past so I tried them. I also read quite some threads about [URL="http://www.girder.nl/"]Girder[/URL] and [URL="http://www.byremote.com.au/HIP/"]HIP[/URL] but they seem to need the original way of MCE remote input via IR. MCE input via RF seems to be unsupported. So I would like to know if anybody of you has an idea on how to get a hold on [COLOR="Red"]these buttons[/COLOR] at all. How are they refered to in Windows basically ? Which other applications could I try ? I created this image to show you which buttons I am talking about specifically. I took their description of the manual of the remote. [IMG]http://www.wt-trepels.de/FTP/mpforum/GYR3101US.gif[/IMG] Any help would be highly appreciated -level20peon [/QUOTE]
