TIP: start and hibernate using Hauppauge remote

[lif]

add these to irremote.ini to following sections:

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

[GB-PVR]
GO={alt}{f4}
GRNPOWER={run(rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState)}
; GO shuts down GBPRV and drops into shell (explorer or LiteStep), Green Power button puts pc into hibernation

Is it also possible to wake-up the machine from hibernation with the remote control? Moving the mouse will do so; but i haven't found a way to wake it up from my couch using a remote control

[lif]

Without special hw it isn't possible!

There are things that could be done using either WOL hack (if MB supports it), Wake-on-modem or so using serial IR receiver with programmable chip. Without this chip your computer wakes up to any ir activity (tv remote, stereo remote etc).

Hi,
which special HW are you talking about ? Can I use a MCE2005 remote + USB receiver to wake my GBPVR from hibernate ? These MCE remotes + receivers are 35 Euro, so it's affordable.

[Edwin10]

Anyone ?

Can I use the MCE remote + USB receiver to wake my GBPVR (ASUS Pundit-R) from standby/hibernate ?

[Darx-starz]

USB devices can wake PC's. The firefly remote works this way. Have you tried it?

[Edwin10]

No,
I haven't tried that. I only have the Hauppauge PVR-350 remote.
I'm thinking of buying another remote which has a USB receiver, so I can wake my GB-PVR PC from hibernate.

But I want to know if anyone has this setup working before ordering a MCE remote . . .
