[these were from a HP 'enhanced' remote so i assume has regular keys plus some extras...[visualization,etc.]
i still have to get with the key map and cross-reference to make sure everythign i want is included and nothing else...
[done: rebuilt from scratch]
and possibly only the ones with 0x04 in 3rd to last pair need to be remapped,they are IR only keys..

oh if anybody has a mce keyboard,i'd be greatfull if you tried this to see if it disables mcekeyboard keys too...

i'll probably rebuild it from the stock registry entries just to keep things consistent...[Done ]
[i don't see the colored keys in there..hmmm]

[reven]

anyway you could just make a simple util/installer to do all this for you?

just run a little tool, and you get hip installed, and correctly configured with your mce remote to work with gbpvr ?

[pBS]

well, almost...
just install hip with mce plugin, run that reg file, and i can give you a hip config file to import and you'd be done...how's that? even preprogrammed for a mvp remote also.. using only sendmessages for all keys..

again, these fixes are only for real MCE remotes, any other remote type should work out of the box with mce dongle..
[cuz you'll have to 'learn' those remote keys from scratch]

still cleaning up my custom stuff in the hip config file, then i'll post that too..

im just thinking, all these little steps, for new users (even forgetful ones like me) might miss something. where a tiny little one click app could save ppl a bunch of headaches.

if you dont want to do it, ill give it ago after you've posted everything. running custom scripts and manually doing crap just reminds me of linux, and how much fun that is to get setup...

[pBS]

might be able to use zip setup of hip, or just use silent install options if they exist for the installer.. [lots of steps to skip in hip program installer]
found it: HipInstallComplete_XXXXX.EXE /s
then copy custom file over and create a file named LASTFILE.TXT with that file's name in it to autoload it when run..

just not sure if there's a one size fits all.. lots of different remote flavors out there..
but a generic setup that users can tweak should be doable..

[reven]

i wish thinking that a set of known remotes would be available to choose from and automatically configure them, and if you're remote wasnt known, just do a custom one, and they would have to setup their own ir codes in HIP.

but there are only a few MCE remotes out there that are often used, and i also have a IRTrans remote that i could provide the ir codes for.

it would just be nice if we got the remote configuration as simple as possible, its the worst part of setting up new gbpvr system in my opinion.

[pBS]

well, i can automate regular MCE remotes installation and should get all of them, but other remotes can also be added later on, but we have to have the naming conventions consistent so an import of remote keys will matchup and work automatically...

i just made a keymap for my mvp remote..
and there is a gbpvr keys file to import, but it's really old..
but i think a base of a full MCE install with separate alt remote files to import would do the trick..

blasting would have to left up to user as we don't know what box they'll have to blast to..
but i'll include the number template so just have to edit/learn box codes..
and the setup for my net2hipsend if users want to use that...

[reven]

and the setup for my net2hipsend if users want to use that...

by blasting, i just meant the mce remote to the pcs ir receiver, those codes should be exactly the same for each remote type. so the user doesnt have to go through hip and associate the "up" key on the remote with the "up" function etc.

[pBS]

oh yea, those keymappings will be pre-setup with the .hip file in lastfile.txt..

but i meant actual blasting, cuz everyone uses same 0-9 digits and that's it,so they are all common in that respect, users would just have to learn their remote keys to make it work, the keys would already be there...so blasting would be simpler to setup also..

i need help making a good master pvrx2 keys reference, i'll post what i have now and see if you can think of any others...
[i know i'm missing several]

here's what i have so far:

Reference: [GBPVR message Label codes.txt]
the old gbpvr.hpg file had the old 32771 keys which don't work anymore, must use 32775 ver. keys...

the volumes are app cmd keys,and mute too...[systemwide]

this file can be imported if you select Program1 then at top it'll say in blue "insert predefined key commands" if there's a .hpg of same name in hip dir..
[has to be saved in hip dir as pvrx2.hpg to import]

[pBS]

after much futzing with the keys names and how not all remotes have all keys, and many don't have enough buttons for all the gbpvr commands even if you remap, i'm going to start labelling them as the keys they send, that way clearer and easier to edit and understand in the HIP menus..
but maybe not...we'll see..

like instead of "GUIDE" name it "F2", "CTL-W" for "PREVIOUS" instead of what it does, because in diff. screens they have diff actions..
these are only labels, but the have to match the remotes label to auto-sync up..
[when importing new remote key map, they attach to proper keys automatically]

all the remote key maps i found included were missing tons of keys...none matched up very well, mce remote doesn't even have colors,etc...

i did get it to install the mce plugin finally, it doesn't install any plugins with /s
almost there, just have to decide what to name all the keys and adjust..

any thoughts?

i've got a new pvrx2.hpg key cmd set file and a mvp remote.hkm and new mceremote.hkm files that are almost there..
and pretty much all the files needed to install it without installing it are ready..
and fixed the lastfile.txt to be relative path..

so if you just want a quick setup file you can load let me know..the .hip file contains almost everything that needs to be customized..
