Hauppauge IR Blaster problem / Sky TV (NZ)

[mattyb]

Sounds good. I'm trying to give IR Server Suite a try now - with a home made serial port IR Blaster I've rigged up - but I've encountered another problem....

When I go into Learn IR commands in IRSS I'm not able to select a port. All I have is "None". So when I try to learn a code from the remote I get a Failed message.

Etacovda: Was this something you encountered? Did you find a solution?

Anyone else have any ideas?

The IR receiver I have is the one supplied with the PVR150 - plugged directly into the card with a 2.5mm plug.

Thanks in advance.

I dont know, i use the MCE blaster, not the hauppauge one.

[mattyb]

So you use the MCE receiver as well? (I know you use the MCE Blaster).

[Etacovda]

yes, they're one in the same (blaster plugs into the reciever)

So I have now acquired an MCE remote and am able to blast channel changes through GBPVR manually using my set top box remote. What I'm missing now is the ability for IR Server Suite to instruct GBPVR to change the channels. At the moment I press '1' on the MCE remote and expect the channel to change to '1' on my set top box - but nothing happens. GBPVR reports the channel as received - I know this as a '1' appears in the top left of the screen - but this is not being translated into a '1' for my set top box.

Etacovda - are you out there? How do I setup IR Server Suite to translate the GBPVR commands to my Sky Digital STB? Was there anything you had to change from the default settings (ie. other than importing the gbpvr_mce.xml file) in IRSS?

Or can anyone else help?

I have performed the registry edit set out in the mediaportal forum.

Thanks in advance!
