hauppauge remote aspect ratio

[Gareth2061]

Is there any way to add aspect ratio change to the 45 button remote without using HIP?

Play around with the key mapping .xml files.

I'd be more specific, but my PVR is being used at the moment.

Specifically, to map aspect ratio control to the red button:

add this line to VideoPlayer.xml

<command name="VIDEO_ASPECT_RATIO" key="^R"/>


You can add it to DVDPlayer.xml too, if you want.

Or a few people change the irremote.ini and change the prev channel command to F7.

Thanks, but it didnt do anything. The red button always used to kill remote functionality before and it seems to do the same now. If i replace 'R@ with '*' will it work?

also have to add it to LiveTVPreviewPlayer.xml and LiveTVTimeshiftPlayer.xml and DvdPlayer.xml if you wish to use it in those areas..

personally i use the irremote.ini and set my sub/cc/# key to F7 in there...best...works everywhere..
[key only used for subs, so not missing anything if you don't use em]
search for SUBCC and changeit to:
SUBCC={findwnd(,PVRX2)}{SendMsg(32775,118,0)}
then hit # on remote for aspect

In general, you can modify Hauppage remote to whatever you like it to do by modifying irremote.ini file which is located c:\windows folder. Make a backup of the file, then modify it with notepad, save and restart remote.
When you go to GB-PVR configuration, DVD section and hit "Fix Hauppauge Remote Settings..." then GBPVR writes a section which starts with [PVRX2] and/or [GBPVR] at the end of irremote.ini file. You can add/change/remove commands there. To see what the remote does when a button is unassigned by PVRX2, go to [Default] section of ini file.
You also have to toggle off the "Use Direct Access To Hauppauge Remote" in GB-PVR config/misc, I believe.

You can find a lot of detailed info about it if you search either internal search function or google search (you can use google to search only gbpvr forum- go advanced).

Thanks for all the advice, its started working on its own now using the red button and im ok with it. Ill definatly give that ini file mod a try with a few other things though.

P.S. what do LiveTVPreviewPlayer.xml and LiveTVTimeshiftPlayer.xml do?
