Program MCE remote Start button to launch GB-PVR?

[qiuqiu]

Hi,

I just purchased a new OEM MCE remote. I attached it to a Windows XP laptop and it recognized it right away and works well with GB-PVR.

But the Start button doesn't seem to do anything. Is there anyway to program it to launch GB-PVR or to bring it to the foreground? It only works with GB-PVR if the program is "in focus".


Best Regards,

I know you can if you use hip.

Thanks. What I want is actually use the Start button to launch GB-PVR. I know we can use HIP to reprogram control send to GB-PVR. But is it possible to reprogram it launch a specific program under windows XP? eg. Windows media player.

HIP does exactly what you want i get why you dont use it
you program hip so when you hit start gbpvr opens easy as that
its a great little program you dot even know its running
it can also be programed to start/control any other program you want
i had it running gbpvr power dvd and winamp in the past

Does HIP work if GB-PVR is not selected (focused)? I want to use the remote's Start button to load or select it (if focus is on some other program that's running on the same box)

Thank you for your help in advance!!! This is my first post to the forum.

yes you just have to add it to alternate input
then you add any extra buttons to pvrx2.exe on the first screen of hip
you only need hip to start the program all the other buttons work natively still as you already have worked out
have you tried hip yet
just ask and i will try and help
there is a install guide for hip on the wiki (link at top of this forum page if you havent been there already)

Yes, I spent quite a bit of time with HIP. But with your help I got it to work. This Alternate Input/System wide key assignment is not too obvious!

Thanks again!!!

HIP used to work perfectly for me, but then I formatted my computer and I can get it to work right, I cant remember how I set it up the first time. I followed the setup steps in the wiki, but can't get rew, ff, vol, etc while playing movies in gbpvr.
I have the Hauppage 150MCE card and remote, XP Pro, PVRX2, and installed HIP with MCE Plug-in. Replaced the default drivers and the key map included with HIP installation.
Am I missing anything?
