hardware is in my case an Ipaq 5550. I will be programming a few buttons of my tv-remote with extra functions. Using Usbuirt and Girder

How is the range on that?

I use a "one for all" "Kameleon 6" with the code for the Topfield receiver (1206) since this gives me all the buttons I need. For reception I use a TSOP IR receiver I built into the HTPC that is queried by Winlirc. I use the winlirc plugin that "Jadz" kindly provided for sending commands to MP.

Range is about 10m and I can point to the ceiling etc. and the reflection is still sufficient to control teh HTPC. The kameleon has two strong IR Diodes built in.


In order to switch on the PC with this remote I made a small circuit that can receive an RECS80 code I programmed into the Kameleons "Power" button. the circuit effectively "pushes" the power button on the PC so it works regardless of the hardware.

This circuit also provides a toggle switching voltgage for my CRT projector to select 16:9/4:3. This is another RECS80 code programmed into the Kameleons "16:9" button.

If anybody out there has "soldering skills" I would be happy to provide the details of my circuit.


Cheers

I guess from this, that the mapping steps basically work. Please try to map some of the keys you mention to be not working and upload the log files afterwards. Maybe @Brownard can see something and a solution can be found. Please open a thread in the OnlineVideo section for this, we should not mix 2 topics in one thread.

I think I've solved the remote button issue, there was an unknown driver in Device Manager which I discovered was the Serial IO GPIO driver. Installing that appears to have solved the remote problem. Who knew? Thanks to all who contributed to my solution.
