configuring irremote.ini to use windows messages

[Tjas]

Forgive me for my ignorance, I am just a poor schlub trying to learn his way...

I was reading about using the Hauppauge remote with SageTV, where you could edit the remote.ini file so that it sent windows message commands instead of just normal keystroke information, thereby allowing you to use the remote even when the program wasn't in "focus". I was wondering if anyone has tried to do this with GBPVR?

I don't really know anything about "windows messages". The message I was reading about this for SageTV can be found here: http://forums.sage.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=5253

BTW: I have the newer Hauppauge remote.

Thank you all!

If you mean that you want to control gb-pvr with the remote, while gb-pvr is not in focus, then I believe this is possible by ticking the "Use direct access to Hauppauge remote" box on the Misc tab in the config app.

Well, my understanding is that the direct access feature does not work with the new hauppauge remote (45 button).

I suppose even if it did, someone might still want to use the remote.ini file, so that they could customize the buttons as they saw fit instead of using only the pre-defined functions in direct access.

Thanks for the reply!
