Hauppauge MCE Remote and Sagetv issues

[dblk22vball]

I am having an issue with not all of my buttons working with my remote and sagetv.

I am using the MCE remote that came in the MCE kit with the HVR-2250 of hauppauge's website. So I am using hauppauge's ir blaster that plugs into the card itself.

The Green Windows button, recorded shows, live tv and aspect ratio buttosn do nothing. When I press the power button, the whole computer locks up.

I also cannot get it to go in and out of standby with the remote (possibly due to above.

I have modified irremote.ini as below.

What am I missing?

If your remote is really a MCE remote, it will not use the irremote.ini at all. The irremote.ini is only used for Hauppauge remote.

So you either have to set SageTV to use a MCE remote, or set SageTV to not use any remote and let another software handle the MCE remote (like mine LM Remote KeyMap, see signature)

When I press the power button, the whole computer locks up

Usually the power button on the MCE remote put the computer to sleep (Hybrid sleep with Vista / 7 by default => that is sleep + hibernation)

So are you able to put your computer to sleep otherwise (for instance through the start menu)?

Stéphane.

ok, I used your program, although only partly successfully.

Although it looks like a MCE remote, I could not get it to work at all with your program set up to use the MCE remote. I tried looking at the live trace, and it was getting nothing.

I then changed it to the 45 button option on your program, and then I was getting stuff in the live trace. But it would not "do" anything in SageTV. I have to have WinTV Remote Controller running for it to do anything.

I changed the configured remote in Sagetv from MCE to the 45 button, but I am still getting the same behavior as I had initially.

Hauppauge is doing tricks lately... Do you have some directions / manual / faq about using the remote. I know there is an utility for the blaster to make it work as a MCE blaster or an Hauppauge blaster, there may be is an utility for the remote.

Anyway, if you go into the device manager it should tell you what kind of remote you have indeed.

I then changed it to the 45 button option on your program, and then I was getting stuff in the live trace. But it would not "do" anything in SageTV. I have to have WinTV Remote Controller running for it to do anything.

Ok so it works as an Hauppage remote. But I guess then LM RKM layout will not be correct for the remote.

Usually for an Hauppauge remote to work in LM RKM you need to have the IR32 program installed but not running.

If you have the remote working in LM RKM, you still need to create a SageTV profile in LM RKM for controlling SageTV (otherwise you are using the default profile which will not completely work with SageTV)

I changed the configured remote in Sagetv from MCE to the 45 button, but I am still getting the same behavior as I had initially.

This option does nothing really smart (as all configuration info is carried in the irremote.ini)

Stéphane.

The utility I had in mind in the last one you can found here : http://www.hauppauge.com/site/suppor...t_hvr2250.html
