Support for remote sending keyboard shortcuts (1 Viewer)

Hi @Stéphane Lenclud

Can you help me? How can I use that remote which provides this when I press dvd menu button?

This is when I press record button.

The two examples that you have shown correspond to the signals that the Hama/Ortek remote control sends. If you are in fact using the Hama/Ortek, you might like to try using the "Centarea HID" support package, available here:

Vista MCE Remote Control VRC-1100

The discussion on the pages following that post might also be of value.

If you are using some other remote control, the "Centarea HID" might provide a useful starting point, even if it requires a bit of tweaking. (I have wondered whether the Emprex RF remote control would work with the "Centarea HID" , but I don't have one to check.)

@regeszter You could do like @CyberSimian suggested.

Alternatively you could customize the existing Full HID profile for your remote.
Make sure you enable HID Keyboard.

'Back'

'Apps'

The names of the button code in MP1 HID mapping configuration are the same than the ones displayed in the HID Demo.
So if there is a key you can't find try it in HID Demo, that will tell you its name in our configuration.

The name themselves come from a .NET C# enumeration I believe.

@regeszter If and when you get a working HID profile for your remote we should consider integrating it as part of the release.
Either by replacing the existing 'full' profile or by adding a new built-in profile depending if it overlaps with existing configuration.
