Using the Hauppauge remote with MP (2 Viewers)

Nope, because I don´t know any way contacting a operating system while its off. So I wake the PC up using the BIOS.

I only started to make use of my hauppauge remote today. Thx a lot to FlipGer for the irremote.ini. Works fine for me to navigate through MediaPortal

The trouble is that I can't start MP by using one of the coloured buttons

YELLOW={run(d:\regcleaner\regcleanr.exe)}
BLUE={run(d:\monitortest\monitortest.exe)}
RED={run(d:\mediaportal\mediaportal.exe)}
GREEN={run(d:\mediap~1\mediap~1.exe)}

These lines start the appz associated with the yellow and the blue button but MP won't start actually giving me this run time error:

This happens with both, the red or the green button. Funny enough, I get similar run time errors by trying to start MP with the same commands at the XP console. Whereas typing them into the "Run" line opens MP!?!

What is it I can't see/ made wrong?

------------------
MP 0.0.0.13 / Win XP SP2

This is because MediaPortal needs to have a start directory. You can get around this by creating a shortcut to mediaportal in the mediaportal directory, and programing the remote to run that. For instance, go to your mediaportal directory, right click on MediaPortal.exe and choose Create Shortcut. Rename the shortcut to mp.lnk (for simplicity) then insert the following line into your irremote.ini:

GREEN={run(d:\mediap~1\mp.lnk)}

And be sure when you rename it, known endings are set as visible. Otherwise the link is named "mp.lnk.lnk" and nothing will start although you see a file called "mp.lnk".

Could you post your irremote.ini? I saw, that you have the same PVR as i have, but i am getting crazy to make the remote working. I read a lot of threads about it, but none covers it. Main problem is the fullscreen mode. Also the wiki just misses the stuff with the window title ([Media Portal - My TV/fullscreen] , which in fact doesn't work! I use 0.1.0.5.1.

Thanks

Sorry, but I changed to the MCE remote some time ago. It´s supported "out of the box" in MP and works great. My ini file was the one from FlipGer.

I had this problem too. What worked for me was this:
Open your irremote.ini. Search for [Applications]
Comment out the Fullscreen= line by putting a semicolon in front of it. It will then look like this:
;FullScreen=

Now search for [Fullscreen]
Comment out the [Fullscreen] line and all lines beneath it until you get to the next section header (in irremote.ini that is [WinTV32]). Do not comment out that line.
Save your file.
Restart the IR program.

Hopefully, it should now work in full screen mode if you have the [Media Portal - My TV/fullscreen] section set up.

Thanks. Will try it when i get home.

Why did you change to the MCE? Just compatibility reasons or are there any advantages with the MCE?

Tip:
Im using the green and the blue button for volume.

In MP configuration under keys and sounds i have assigned f10 to Action_volume_up and f11 to Action_volume_up

F10 and F11 is mapped to the green and the blue button in irremote.ini

Works fine.
