but i cant map the keys in mp

Can you supply us with some more information, maybe a web-link ?

If the remote is easy to support I'll look at adding support for it, but I'd need more information about it as I don't own one.

Cheers,

Basically this remote works as a wireless keyboard. It sends keystrokes e.g. Ctrl+P for play. At some point, I managed to figure out what keystrokes each button sends (I think I used autohotkey), but I do not remember anymore. There is a reference guide available at:
http://www.techexcess.net/downloads/ir_remote_and_receiver_reference.htm

This is not a technical reference but may point you in the right direction.

Forgive the formatting. it was a text document stored on my system.

Button - button you press on the remote
keypress - what the computer recieves (as if it were keyboard input)
scancode - keyboard scancode when pressed
mapped key - what I had the button mapped to in autohotkey.

 

[Mike69]

im working on script to use with autohotkeys.

ill post it here when im done

(it would be a lot easier if mp accepted keystrocks)

 

[Mike69]

hi again,

just wanted to say thanks for all your help in this issue, and autohotkeys is a good tool but the best one is HIP to work with this remote, it learns all comands given by the remote and then i reassign them to the MP keyboard shortcuts.

ps. just one more thing...the remote haves a power button and it shutdowns the pc, how can i configure that so it tells the computer to suspend?

 

[gxtracker]

I dont think you can, or I was never able to do so at least. From the research I did back when I had the remote, the power button actually sends a keyboard command that is specifically designed to send a shutdown request to the OS.

Even when I tried to remap the button with programs like AHK, it would still send the original command and the new command I had it mapped to. Part of the reason I gave up and got a new remote.

If you can get it remapped, then more power to you!
