streamzap remote

[kirk]

I purchased and recieved the streamzap remote. just downloaded the driver, installed it, and have been getting aquainted with the remote.

the basic buttons work, but when setting any of the macro buttons to 'toggle full screen' nothing happens.

if i set up one of the macro buttons to 'toggle mouse mode', i can press that macro, then press 'exit' button, highlite 'toggle full screen' then press 'ok' and i can switch back and forth.

i would really like to find an eaiser way, as i am setting this up on a dedicated pvr connected to my tv.

thanks for any help provided

"SageTV.exe -event 27"

Here's the whole list: http://www.sagetv.com/2_papers/SageT...wsMessages.txt

Or use girder, see the link in my sig ----------------------this one ---\/

I would definitely second girder. The whole thing of passing events is kinda slow. With Girder, it's almost instant response (my response slowness I'm pretty sure is my machine).

thanks everyone for all the posts. learned just what i needed to know to make the remote do what i wanted it to do.

this weekend i think i will try the 'girder' application to see if i can make the remote even more functional.

thanks again

I'm gonna go against the grain here and recommend not using Girder. I don't have any response problems.. besides, the StreamZap remote only has 4 programmable buttons.. and my remote, albeit basic, does everything I need it to do.

Macro buttons from left to right:

* SageTV.exe
* SageTV full screen (toggle)
* SageTV DVD Menu
* SageTV miminize to system tray

With girder, all the buttons are programable. And you can set up fancy stuff like toggles and such.

[korben_dallas]

Granted, but they are not necessarily intuitive, since you are overwriting the default button behaviors.

Hey! I was here first so my button mapping are the Default (I was using my streamzap with girder before the streamzap supported sage ).
