Sub, could you Please please please change the title of the MVP server window so remotes will work right? not anything else but the window title..
it's already different from the main app title, but they start with the same things, so almost all remote software can't tell the windows apart..

i tested irremote.ini and it works with a mvp started if you change the window title to anything else..even "GBPVR Media MVPServer" [no -] just so it doesn't start with the same exact letters...we can specify the mvp server window cuz it's longer, but not the viewing app...
or better yet, add a bit to the viewing mode app window name..."GB-PVR Local" or something so wouldn't break mvp server utils that look for the name..

i also believe this would solve a lot of other remote's config problems, as i've seen several that couldn't match exact window titles, only starting strings..

i have found a way around it, using a little util to send messages,it renames the window title and everything works fine.. i believe it's just using a wm_app command itself...
i just use: send -h -a -n "MVP" "GB-PVR MediaMVP Server" ""
and it will rename all your mvp servers to "MVP" and remote messaging with irremote will work great...
tho would rather a name change as this is impossible to do with the auto-restarting mvp servers cuz it couldn't catch those events quickly..

pweese? Big Grin

excellent..i'll try to give a heads up to people that might be using the mvp server name to key on...i think only a couple of utils..

it's really bad programming on the other apps that creates the problem, but lots seem to have the same problem...Smile
thanx again..
