Remote Mapping of MCE Remote

[mvallevand]

Looking at the wiki http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardw...eyMappings I see that the Clear and Enter keys are duplicates of the Back and OK keys. Can these keys be handled separately via KeyMapping and if so, how would I identify them without changing the Back and OK key functionality.

The OK/Enter keys definitely cant be handled separately. I'm not sure about the 'clear' key. I'll check this a bit later today.

With standard MCE mappings (if I remember correctly), Clear = Esc and Back = Backspace so you should be able to map them separately (probably want to reverse them for GBPVR though).

Thanks whurslton, they are certainly reversed, backspace would be perfect, especially given the location on the remote Where are those configured for GBPVR?

My mistake, Back actually sends the "End" key: http://www.mediacenterguides.com/sites/d...putINF.pdf

What is it you are trying to do exactly?

i guess HIP would be a swear word
but thats what i use

whurlston I'm trying to map keys for ML3 for MCE users who don't have the colour keys. There aren't that many free. I think using Back gives me one more option which is all I needed.

Yes, HIP is out of the question as a general solution.

In that case, I would capture the IMenuTask.OnKeyDown() or BaseButtonListUiTask.OnKeyDown() to respond.

Code:

// Override this if using BaseButtonListUiTask
        public bool OnKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            bool overrideKey = MyOverrideKeyCheck(e.KeyCode);
            if (overrideKey)
            {
                // Do stuff
                HandleKey(e.KeyCode);

                // Return true so GBPVR doesn't handle the keypress as well
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                // Let GBPVR handle the keypress
                return base.OnKeyDown(e);
            }
        }

You can use e.KeyValue if you want to process as an Integer instead of Windows.Forms.Keys

Also, by using the above code, you can utilize FF/REW/SKIP and Record keys too since they aren't really needed when you are displaying the plugin. That would give you 5 more keys to use. 6 if you use the Info key.

I wish ML3 was as simple as that!

FF RW = PageUp/Down for those that don't have Chan Up/Down
Skip Prev = Next and Previous Track in the play list.
Record = Queue Next overloaded as Delete from Playlist.

ML3 doesn't have just one KeyHandler but what I added (and released) was basic.

if (e.KeyCode == System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Back)
{
...
}
