I am using an X10 remote from another PC. I have installed the X10 drivers that came with the other PC onto this one and the remote is working. As yet, I have not installed the firefly drivers. Also my MP is just 0.2.3.0 with no SVN as yet.
The remote is working ok outside of MP, that is some of the keys seem to be already mapped by the driver and I can move left/right/up/down etc. I have not tested all of them yet.
In learning mode (MP Remote settings = X10>other) some of the keys are already correct so I change the ones that aren't such as left/right/up/down etc. When I do this I get a double press issue when in MP menu. If I don't change the codes in learning mode then I don't get the double press issue.
So I had a few questions I would like some help with please.
1) As for the double press problem, I know from a much earlier post that it was recommended to install the firefly X10 drivers. However I thought this issue was resolved in the latest build. Is this still the case or should I stick with my current drivers?
2) There are 2 sets of commands in learning mode to change the basic keys. (i.e. 2x0-9, 2xFF, 2xRW, 2xPlay etc.) When learning, do I change both sets or just the top/bottom set?
3) Is there a link for me to read up on what all the rest of the commands are for please?
4) I take it that any changes to the mapping /remote code I make in MP only effect MP. Is there a way to change/map different codes so I can utilise my remote outside of MP. (That's just a nice to have and isn't too important but it would save me having to use my remote keyboard for certain things that's all.)
I know I should spend a bit more time reading the forum etc. but I have just spent the last 2 weeks sorting out some hardware issues and my other half is a bit pi**ed off with the amount of time I been spending on this project. (She thinks that ‘plug and play’ applies to everything, literally!)
So any help anyone could throw in my direction would be much appreciated.
TIA.
