USB IR Remote Receiver Input Plugin (1 Viewer)

[Portisch]

Hi!

I am the developer of this multiprotocol USB IR Receiver:
USB IR Remote Receiver - Mikrocontroller.net
(In the download is an english description included)
It support almost every IR protocol as you can see in the list.
It's a selfmade receiver which cost less than 10,- €.

In the download there is already a DLL Plugin included what is supporting DVBViewer, Girder, selfmade software and EventGhost. Now I want to add native Mediaportal support.

But I don't find any real example how to write an remote plugin. The example in wiki shows only a skin plugin.
Is there a description how to handle the inputs to MP? As String, as keyboard event,...?

Is it neccassary to do the IR-Code mapping in the plugin or can this be done in MP?
The USB IR Receiver just send the IR-Code to the host. The mapping to key strokes have to be done by the application itself.
the comunication with the hardware is over USB 1.1 with HID protocol.

thx!

AW: USB IR Remote Receiver Input Plugin



I found this source already.
Looks like the code get sent by the InputHandler.MapAction(Key:Integer) to Mediaportal!?
Now the bigger problem is that the DLL is writen in Delphi Win32.
Is there any example for Delphi how to access the InputHandler?

Perhaps it would be a good idea to teem up with the guys maintaining IR Server suite (IRSS). Would be nice to include your IR reciver as one of the supported devices there.
