Anyone have GBPVR.exe in Irremote.ini?

[stefan]

Supposing I wanted to use the Green Power button to bring up the "shutdown" plugin. (I would want this behavior to be common to all modules... whether I was watching LiveTV, listening to NetRadio, etc.) Is there a particular mapping that could accomplish this?

Maybe, just maybe, you can do something like this?
GRNPOWER={run(c:\Progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\GBPVR.exe -direct “plugin name”}
I am not sure of the exact name of the shutdown plugin... I assume you do =)

could somebody post their irremote.ini file with all these amendments in it.

I having difficulty getting gbpvr to respond to the remote when it has lost focus, I am running gbpvr via the tvout of a 350 into a 2.4ghz av sender which can send the remote button depresses back to the pc this works fairly well unless gbpvr has lost focus

GRNPOWER={run(c:\Progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\GBPVR.exe)}

Worked like a charm...thx.

To all, just make sure it is forced foreground, or know the button to alt-tab w/ (menu works)

How do you force it to load on foreground?

How do you force it to load on foreground?

I don't I use the sendmsg function to to that control it, see my irremote.ini

I use the GRNPOWER to restart GBPVR (just in case it runs into something).
irremote.ini supports "close", and even "sleep".
For example:

Code:

GRNPOWER={close(GBPVR.exe)}{sleep(200)}{run(C:\Progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\GBPVR.exe)}

But, as I didn't trust the "close" (or in case GB got really stuck), I use the "pstools" from SysInternals (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsTools.html)

Code:

[Default]...
GRNPOWER={close(GBPVR.exe)}{sleep(200)}{run(c:\utils\pskill.exe GBPVR.exe)}{sleep(200)}{run(C:\Progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\GBPVR.exe)}

And, of course, in both examples, GRNPOWER is not used in the GBPVR section (much simpler approach for me):

Code:

[GB-PVR]...
;GRNPOWER=...

I'm having trouble with the mute button, sometimes it works then sometimes it quits. in windows XP Pro is there a keyboard shortcut for mute? so I might be able to bind the mute key to the shortcut.....

thanks

are you sure that is the correct path? do you have another directory in C: that starts with "Program" that would bump "Program Files" to "Progra~2"? you can always check the 8.3 path by bringing up cmd, cd'ing on over to the path of choice, then typing in "command" which runs the old command.com. the path will then show as the truncated 8.3.

also remember that any changes to irremote.ini require a restart of the ir app.

ejeffers: try this in your GBPVR setting
GRNPOWER={sys(0xF060)}

i like to be able to do just about anything from the remote except type. i have the GRNPOWER set to close apps everywhere, and use the LIVETV button to launch GBPVR.

here are my relevant irremote.ini sections for what it is worth. there are still a couple of things i have been meaning to "optimized" but given that i have been procrastinating them, these settings are working well enough for me...

Chud, on a slightly different note, I am curious as to what this line or lines in your irremote.ini does?

RADIO={run("c:\Progra~1\intern~1\IEXPLORE.EXE" -k http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather...ON0356.htm)}

I was able to get the weather plugin to work but my family prefers the weather from http://www.theweathernetwork.com.

I switched to the MX-500 remote and use a USB-UIRT and have hip do the middle work, I do wish that you could choose where the weather info is coming from.......theweathernetwork.com looks nice........
