In my ongoing quest to ease the eventual transition from Windows Media Center to NextPVR for my wife, I'm looking for a way to reprogram the iconic Green Button on a WMC remote, which is used to launch WMC from the desktop, to instead launch NextPVR.exe.
Now, I'm aware that this is a pretty "niche" topic and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot about it on the Web, or even on this forum. So, rather than direct instructions specific to NPVR, I've been looking around the Web for directions that I might adapt from some other application, but have come up empty. I found instructions for pairing a WMC remote to (or from) some other remote by using a transmitter. I discovered the Advanced MCE Remote Mapper, but after launching it I didn't see any self-evident way to change what the Green Button does. I also came across something called EventGhost, but most of the documentation details are locked away in a community forum that was taken down at some point and is only in the process of being brought back.
None of these appear to be suited to what I need to do. I learned that the Green Button calls the shortcut Win+Alt+Enter, but this doesn't help me much since that's precisely what I want to replace with a combination that instead will launch the NPVR UI client.
Took a look at the KeyMappings.xml file, but I wouldn't know what to add or change there to do what's needed. I saw a reference somewhere to a Key Mappings section in Settings, but I have yet to find it in the settings for either the web client or the UI client.
Chances are I'm simply not expert enough to figure this out on my own. Hoping that someone reading this will be.
