Remote works only on active window

[mayerg]

I would just like to start off by saying that GBPVR is awesome.  I just received my 350 card installed into computer.  Installed GBPVR and it worked straight away.

Everything works great.  I have a question on the remote working only in an active window.  My system will reside next to my tv which is receiving signals from the 350 out.  I have no keyboard or monitor connected.  I use windows remote desktop to get at the computer.

My wish is to have the system stand alone and not have to remote in to use GBPVR.  Can anyone give me some direction on how I can set this up.  Currently, I need to be remoted to the desktop, GBPVR needs to have the active window so the remote control will work.

I tried shutting down the IR software and setting the direct access to the remote in Config but the remote stopped responding.  I have tried just disconecting from the remote desktop which should leave all programs running, but the remote would also stop responding.

I have uninstalled everything.  Downloaded all the lastest drivers from SHSPVR.  Installed all the Hauppauge software with IR software and then reinstalled GBPVR but this does not change anything.

The remote that came with the 350 card is the new style remote.

If anyone can point me a good direction, I would much appreciated.

TIA.

The new remote is not compatible with the direct remote access, sorry.

So is there a remote that I could buy that will solve this problem? Firefly?

You could either use the old Hauppauge remote, or any remote with the USB-UIRT.

Hello, before I ask my question, let me say that the new version is really nice, lots of improvements!

Are you saying that the new remote will never work with direct access, and thus the only solution is to get a different remote, or will the new remote be supported in some later version?

I thought I had read somewhere that you were planning on adding direct access functionality for the new remote in the "next release".

Thanks

No that was never the case. I added support for using the new 45 button remote, but only via the original Hauppauge IR software.

You can use the new remote, but not via direct access.

Direct Access will never work on the PVR150. Hauppauge changed the driver interface, and it is not compatible.

The existing direct access functionality available to PVR250/350 users *may* be extended to support the new 45 button remote, but I wont be able to do it until Hauppauge fix the IR software so that the PVR350 IR hardware will work with the PVR150 software installed on the same machine. This is the situation on my machine, so the direct access wont function on my machine and I have no way to test or improve on it until the problem is resolved.
