Green power button

[Tulex]

I haven't been able to tell from on here wether or not the 45 button Hauppauge is fully supported. I have seen the codes to make sure are in the .ini, and that config has a setting for it, and even that you can give GB full control of it. I only use the remote for GB, so don't care about the other programs. I installed the full set of apps with the 150, and so when I push the top green button I think it is, it loads the app that came with the card. I don't seem to be able to get it to load GB, even when I take the programs out from infront of GB in the .ini. Should I be able to? What steps do I take to make the remote work best with GB?

Thanks a ton

On the old forum I think there was a way of tying the green button to start gb-pvr but I cannot find it now. Have a look you may have more luck. Yes the 45 button is fully supported. I use one so I know it works OK. How I do it is leave gbpvr running (I start it from a shortcut in startup). You dont need to do much. Leave the other junk in there. I did try and cut it all out once but was a waste of time.

Thanks Darx. Are you using the "Use direct access to Hauppauge Remote" setting, and therefore not using the start haup IR to get the fullest use? I don't seem to be able to get consistant use of the remote, but that's most likely from not having the right combo of settings.

No I dont use that mode. I had a bit of bother with it early on and have stayed away from it. I prefer things to stand up on their own so-to-speak. I think this mode only works for the old "Silver" remote and its not supported in the latest 45 button jobie.

Wow, thanks for the heads up, I was leaning the wrong way then.

I use these settings in the Irremote.ini file to start and stop gb-pvr from the hauppauge remote (old style). I know I found them here, so I won't take any credit for making it work, I just can't remember who I copied it from

Code:

[Default]
GRNPOWER={run(C:\Programmer\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.exe)}{sleep(5000)}{FindWnd(GBPVRWndClass,)}{fgnwnd()}
; starts GBPVR, waits 5 sec and brings it foreground (is already so), change path to your installation path!

and then

Code:

[GB-PVR]
GRNPOWER={alt}{f4}

Thanks nkh, I'll give that a go. You have 2 codes entered. There seems to be a lot of junk in that file. It looks like the first part goes after the first GB reference, and the second goes lower in the button call outs?

[nkh]

Just pop the first part in after [Default] in the file (and remove any other GRNPOWER= lines in the same section). The GRNPOWER={alt}{f4} part just goes into the gb-pvr section (probably at the end of the file) and it's just there so I can shut down gbpvr from the remote.

In case anyone else tries this and uses the default location to install GB-PVR, make sure your ini entry looks like this.

[Default]
GRNPOWER={run(C:\Progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.exe) }{sleep(5000)}{FindWnd(GBPVRWndClass,)}{fgnwnd()}
; starts GBPVR, waits 5 sec and brings it foreground (is already so), change path to your installation path!

I ran into an issue where the Hauppage Remote program didn't know how to properly handle the space character and therefore would not launch GB-PVR. My small edit should help in that scenario.
