TIP: volume controll

[Koenie]

Hi,

Maybe this is explained elsewhere, but nevertheless. There were a few posts of people telling volume controll with the Hauppauge remote works in recordings, but not on music. I figured out how to get both.

In the irremote.ini (windows directory) in the GB-PVR section VOLUP is mapped to + en VOLDOWN to -. Simply put a semicolon in fornt of both lines (can be found at the very end of the irremote.ini filein the GB_PVR section) and the remote will use the default controll for the volume defined elsewhere in the irremote.ini.

Remarks:
After this action press the + on your keyboard untill full volume and leave it like that (you can now controll volume with the remote).
Restart the Irremote software to activate the changes.

The GB-PVR section then looks as follows:
[GB-PVR]
0=0
1=1
2=2
3=3
4=4
5=5
6=6
7=7
8=8
9=9
NAVDOWN={DOWN}
NAVUP={UP}
NAVRIGHT={right}
NAVLEFT={left}
CHNLUP={pgup}
CHNLDOWN={pgdn}
CHNLPREV={ctrl}W
; VOLUP=+
; VOLDOWN=-
YELLOW={ctrl}Y
GO={f11}
OK={enter}
RED={ctrl}R
GREEN={ctrl}G
FASTFWD={ctrl}F
FULLSCREEN={alt}{enter}
REWIND={ctrl}D
BACK={esc}
SKIPFWD={ctrl}{right}
MENU={home}
PLAY={ctrl}P
SKIPREV={ctrl}{left}
PAUSE={ctrl}Q
STOP={ctrl}S
BLUE={ctrl}B
REC={ctrl}K
FUNC={ctrl}O
GUIDE={f1}
TVNEW={f2}
VIDEOS={f3}
MUSIC={f4}

Thank you for the tip! Volume control is now working in music

Thanks

This is probably only useful for the newer 4x-buttons remote. Not for the old 35 buttons one.
Or am I wrong?

I don't know what the syntax is for the old remote but i expect that this is quite similar.

No, it wont work on the old remote since the volume is shared with the left/right arrow keys.

Beautiful. I remapped VolUp and VolDown to Ctrl 1 and Ctrl 2 ... and Mute to Ctrl = ...

After I did that, I set those hotkeys in an Application called "Sound Control" over at ReallyEffective.co.uk ... Then voila, integrated with gbpvr. No memory footprint. OSD and volume control. Should give 'er a shot.
