Hauppauge 45 Button Remote Question

[bay_wolf]

Can I have the Green Power button turn off the computer (it can't turn it back on I know) so that I don't have to get up and turn it off.

Regards and thanks in advance.

you could try adding something like this to your irrremote.ini file under the gbpvr section
GRNPOWER={run(SHUTDOWN -s -t 01}

Edit..
I have not tried this but it should work...

or download the shutdown plugin http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/Shutdown

Aren't there options for Standby, Hibernate, Shutdown, and Restart under the "System" Menu?

And is there some reference as to what you can put there for what buttons do what. I have the 34 button Hauppauge, and there are buttons with no labels I would like to assign to features.

Thanx in advance.

where is the irremote.ini file?

The irremote.ini file can be found under your windows directory, and you can basically apply whatever keypresses you want to the remote buttons. The settings under the [Default] section near the top apply to all programs if there is not a program-specific mapping listed further down. ie if you just want it to affect GB-PVR, do a search for "GB-PVR" and edit that section, whereas if you want a mapping to be universal, edit the mappings in the [Default] section.

A good example is that if you want to assign the remote power key to start up GB-PVR/bring it to the foreground, you would place a mapping such as this in the [Default] section, as it needs to work when GB-PVR isn't active:

Code:

GRNPOWER={run(c:\Progra~1\devnz\GBPVR\GBPVR.exe)}{sleep(750)}{FindWnd(GBPVRWndClass,)}{fgnwn d()}

cheers,

OK - but where would I find all the commands I can assign to a particular button? And how is an application specific section identified - by the executable name or some other way??

most of the buttons would have a command associated to them - just check out the ini file and you should be able to figure it out - http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manual/Irremoteini i dont know if this is what you were after ?

cheers

Each section, except for the default section, is identified by the text in the title bar of the window. This isn't always visible to you however (like when you're watching TV.)

There is no list of commands; the file is part of Hauppauge's software, and documentation is not high on their list of concerns. Common problem, that.

If you want to find out how to refer to unlabeled buttons, you'll notice a section in the irremote.ini labeled 'debug.txt' so make a file with that name, open it up in a word processor of your choosing and start pushing buttons.

Could you give an example of how to do this? I think I would create a file in the C:Windows directory called "debug.txt". Would I then push the unnamed Hauppauge remote button that I want to program such as the underscore button between the * and the # number button (and if I do, will something show up in the word processor file I am working in), then press the equal sign on the keyboard followed by quote, space, quote? Or is it a matter of simply typing the symbol for underscore in the word processing program? The reason for my confusion is that it seems that the other buttons, red, green, etc., are labelled in the part of the irremote.ini file that says RED="F7" or something similar. If I don't know what to put on the left side of the equals sign, I don't know how I can make my own label.

What I would like to do is make the underscore key create a space when I am using the search functions. If I try to search "Rick Mercer", I can't enter the space (because I get "Rick0Mercer") so I am limited to searching one word of the title.
