[HOWTO] Make VC-1100 remote work in Windows 8 - Jackie78 - 2013-07-17
Hi,
it took me quite some time to figure out how the VC-1100 remote actually behaves under Windows 8: while I had success making the green start button work using this tutorial in Windows 7, it seemed not to work at all under Windows 8. Why? Well, I don't know why, but under Windows 8, this remote sends a keystroke on the Green Button press:
L-Win + L-Alt + Enter
So I basically followed this tutorial here:
http://xbmccustomregis.sourceforge.net/remote_manu.html#Green_Start_Button
But I changed the script to monitor to the correct key-sequence, because they assume that the Green key causes Alt + Ctrl + Enter to be pressed, so you have to change this line in the .ahk-file:
^!Enter:: ;Ctrl-Alt-Enter is the shortcut for greenbutton_Win64bit
to
#!Enter:: ;Ctrl-Alt-Enter is the shortcut for greenbutton_Win64bit
(note: ^stands for Ctrl, # for WIN in the Autohotkey-script language).
I also set the path in the script correctly to match my XBMC installation directory, and added -fs -p parameters for running it in portable mode.
That was all. Worked for me, maybe it helps somebody who faces the same problems with that very special remote
