IR Remote

[jwells]

The Hauppauge remote only works whe GBPVR is selected on the computer screen. Is the a way to use it when GBPVR is minimized?

If you have a capture card that supports direct access to remote, then this setting in the config app would help. Otherwise, the simple answer is no. The complicated answer is "yes, it's possible, if you use girder and an ir receiver that works with girder". The half way answer is that if you search the board for this, you'll find a way to edit the irremote.ini in a manner that would make gbpvr gain focus every time you hit a certain (or one out of several of you choice), thus making it possible to control again. But then, of course, it won't be minimized any more.

I have the WinTV 350. Does that support direct access?

[stefan]

Yes. At least if you have the 35 button version of the remote. I have no idea about the 45 button version. I think sub has mentioned some time in the past that there might be some features not supported in the direct access mode. I still haven't figured out which features that would be though =)
