bought my self a MS IR reciever,
because the remote of my case doesn't work with XBMC,
but does with MC7+MB+TMT3.

i'm using a logitech for the main remote control.
read most of your topic and your site.
seems you done a great job with it.
i would like to know if i would apply your reg-patch and all.
will it still work with MC7 ?
and will i still be able to control TMT3 (using the MC player)

Very easy

All you have to do is find out what your exit button sends using "showkey" then use that combination in keyboard.xml! At the moment if you are in XBMC home screen and you press the "END" button on your keyboard then it will exit XBMC.

You can find this under in Keyboard.xml in the <home> <Keyboard> sub section, also comes under "Global" and "LoginScreen" but "Global" uses another command so do not worry about them.

Code:

<Home>
    <keyboard>
      <i>info</i>
      <end>XBMC.ShutDown()</end>
    </keyboard>
  </Home>

Now change this

Code:

<end>XBMC.ShutDown()</end>

The <end> and close command </end> to whatever your remote exit button sends.

Want more help, then post here!

Cheers,
EG.

TRaSH- Wrote:Thnx,
i will see if i can test it this weekend,

i wonder do you got a cheat sheet with all the buttons/key you made/edited.
i tried to look at the change log but allot of things have changed.
so a cheat sheet would be nice.

When I use the top right key (power off) button the xbmc menu comes up and I select the SUSPEND option. The laptop goes to suspend mode.

I normally open the laptop and press the space bar once to wake up the laptop. Can I wake up the laptop using the remote instead?

adrianf74 Wrote:Almost there... Been fighting a really bad virus the past few days so trying to think about computer stuff has been the furthest thing of importance.

Just thought I'd try finding out what exit sends and realize I'd made the EXIT button the "return" button so I could go back with relative ease.

So, I've remapped a customized button called "EXIT" in my programmable section and mapped it to "*". When I press this button, I'm getting the following:

<eight mod="shift">Notification(Key, eight, 3)</eight>

Is this what I would want to copy into the section above and how would this look when done up? Consider me a bit of a noob in XML. Thanks.

If the "Shift-8" combination does not work for any reason try to map your button to a single letter like "e" for example and try again. but this should work anyways :-)

Cheers,
EG.

adrianf74 Wrote:Still not 100% --- feeling slightly worse today but I know this will pass. Thanks for your thoughts.

So, I tried the Shift-8 and Shift-3 combos as they're both available on my remote but neither wanted to work. Had to live with "Zero" as exit. I don't really enter anything as far as timecode jumping, etc., so it's not a critical button. There was no way to add any letter like "e" the remote under Harmony's setup software (as far as I could tell).

vskatusa Wrote:elitegamer360,

I monkeyed the reg file to SLEEP per your instructions and yes it goes to SLEEP. However, after the laptop goes to sleep the power button does not wake it up. I have the ASUS Nettop-Model 1015PN-PU17-BK.

In device manager, the IR dongle shows up as eHome Infrared Receiver (USBCIR) and the "Allow this device to wake the computer" is ENABLED.

Is there any other settings I must change in the BIOS for this to work? I looked at the BIOS and do not see any verbiage USB -- Can u please let me know what I am looking for in the BIOS?
