Remapping remote buttons

Rate this Message:
Hi, My first post to the list. Many thanks to the developers for creating mvpmc. I've been using mvpmc with a D1 mediaMVP for a couple of years. My Sagem PVR now sits idle under the TV. I just got myself another mvp for a second TV. This time it is H4 revision hardware. I have both working OK with two instances of tftpd and one of in.mvp (http://inetdxtra.sourceforge.net/#mvp) running from inetd (using the instructions for booting flash based hardware in the wiki). The problem I have is the remote that comes with the H4. Though tt has more buttons (and poorer ergonomics/layout) than the one that comes with the D1, it lacks the fullscreen button. How do I remap one of the redundant buttons? Can this be done via the CLI/config or would it require recompiling the dongle? Also, can it be done in a such a way that it won't affect the operation of the D1 and its remote? Still like to use a single dongle and single config file. I'd be very grateful for any guidance.

If you want to change something you probably need to re-write the source code. Why? Different applications needed to deal with the buttons differently. Some applications wanted to know how long you held a button down. Or used one of the buttons as a "shift" key. So, I take it the D4 looks like this: > http://linuxdevices.com/files/misc/hauppage_media_mvp-thm.jpg And the H4 looks like this: > http://www.gadgetpeople.co.nz/images/products/Hauppauge_UPC01008_77992_t.gif And the D4 has "full screen" and the H4 does not. Also, you didn't say which application you were using. I'll assume the mythtv client. Ok, I've looked at the source code. In video.c I see both the FULL and PREV_CHAN keys mapped to the same action. Providing the mythtv client uses this function (method) both keys should do the same thing. Let's take another look at the remote I think you don't like: > http://www.hauppauge.com/images/new_remote.jpg Yep, I see just below the circle of arrows a "Prev. Ch" key. Try that one and see if it doesn't give you the full screen feature when using the mythtv client. Hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list Mvpmc-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/ |

The function of that button is to bring you back to the video occupying the full screen when you're in the mode of viewing menus with the video in a small window? If so, I can confirm that Stuart's research is correct and the "Prev. Ch" key on the big remote accomplishes this. This is documented in the chart at the bottom of this page: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/remote What isn't documented is the behavior of the "Full" button on the small remote. I've updated the chart to reflect that for the MythTV client it does the same thing as "Prev. Ch" key. Feel free to document what the key does in other mvpmc applications. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list Mvpmc-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/ |

Prev Ch works as you suggest. Since posting I downloaded mvpmc source to see if I could compile it, in preparation if needed! I managed to compile the dongle which was reassuring. Looks like I won't need to now though. Thanks for the help.
