LM Remote for MCE, Hauppauge, USB-UIRT, and more!

[smajor]

Folks, I've seen more than a few posts about remotes and NPVR - a couple from myself.

I stumbled upon and HIGHLY recommend LM Remote http://www.lmgestion.net/

It is simply amazing and by far the simplest way to reprogram ANY button on your remote to anything else. Keystrokes, command keys, app launching. Click on a predefined picture of your remote, and say "I want this button to do this" and you're done. All the common remote "pictures" are included such as the 45 button Hauppauge and a ton of various MCE remotes.

I reprogrammed every key on my "far east" MCE remote (ORtek 1100, aka Adesso 1100, aka HAMA), including the color buttons, to every keyboard shortcut NPVR had to offer using the keyboard shortcuts available here: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manua...dReference

And I did so in less than 10 minutes and it works perfectly.

You can even have OSD that shows on NPVR - like for the volume level! (It does so by default).

You can also define sets that apply only to and change the keymappings for specific programs.

I only needed the free version to remap some keys, the donator version supports pre-defined keymappings for software (they have a library and GB-PVR is included) as well as IR blasting for supported devices.

This, obviously, works with GB-PVR too.

It's is good. I couldn't get sohing to work in HIP. Gave LM remote a wirl and have been using it ever since

I second. I've been using LM remote for a year now and I think it is great.

Are you guys using the free or the donate version ?
To be honnest: with GBPVR I used the native keymaps with the hauppauge 45but remote. With NPVR this doesn't work well. But I find this free version somehow complicated. Or is it me ?

I'v had no trouble doing the same in the free HIP

I suppose it all depends, I find LM Remote to be extremely simple. I used the free version and modified the default template to my liking using the application. Specifically, check out the wiki for the keyboard shortcuts for GB-PVR (almost all the same as NPVR). Map the keyboard short cuts to the buttons on your remote. All you really need to use in that menu for the buttons is the "Keypress" option, don't worry about the other ones unless you want to get really advanced. If you're still stuck, let me know and I'll nab a couple of screenshots from my setup and post them as a guide. I should probably do this in the wiki at some point to help out the project...

Alternately, here are others that swear by HIP or EventGhost, but to me those interfaces are so complicated that I really didn't want to devote more college years to the advanced theoretical physics degrees necessary to work with them. But that's just me.

To each their own as the saying goes!

I installed LM Remote, but I have an issue: My remote control keeps on listening to the native keys by MS . (as there is a wiki article about). Even deleting them, setting back to default, no way to make my remote listen to what LM Remote has as config.

Do you still have Windows Media Center installed? e.g. are the keys launching it instead of what you want for NPVR?

nope
But it works. It is indeed simple, think that last reboot did the trick.

But the coloured buttons don't work. Have you tried those with NPVR ?
