ok iv been trying allsorts to get my medion x10 remote to work with xbmc for windows

as default the direction keys and enter key work, and the volume/mute keys control system volume, but no other buttons work
if i press the MediaCentre key it opens windows media centre witch is really annoying.
iv been trying to get event ghost to work but to no prevale. i can get it to work with windows but as soon as i focus on the xbmc window the remote does nothing with xbmc.

ideally i would like to unassociate this remote from windows media centre so i can have the mce key open xbmc.

is there anyone else who has got there x10 remote to work and what tools are they using, event ghost seems like a really good program, its just a same that when i focus on my xbmc window it has no effect

Hello,

I was searching a solution for the same problem, with the same remote.
Nothing, Nada, Rien !

I decide to develope my own soft for this remote.
Just finished yesterday & in test for the moment.

What is supported :
- Start / Shutdown (Quit) XBMC PC
- Play, Stop, Pause
- Left, Right, Up, Down
- Volume Up / Down
- Jump Forward / Jump Back
- FF / RW
- Shutdown PC

I already placed the soft in the start program & the soft goes in the systray.
After 10 seconds, it start automaticly XBMC (Once).

Kind regards,
Dav.

Hello,

i believe XBMC needs DirectInput, but x10 don´t using it. For the keyboard that´s no problem, because it´s an DirectInput device.

There is a little tool called "simkey". Google for "Controlling MAME via Hauppauge remote" with the ".

This tool can send left/right/down/up and another keys as an DirectInput command. But you will need an application for your remote like eventghost, because on every button press the program simkey.exe must be start, therfore it´s not fast.

Another solution is edit the keymap.xml. Perharps like this...

from:
..
<up>Up</up>
<down>Down</down>
<pageup>PageUp</pageup>
<pagedown>PageDown</pagedown>
..
to

<f9>Up</f9>
<f10>Down</f10>
<f11>PageUp</f11>
<f12>PageDown</f12>

With the F-Keys navigating will working

cheers for the replys.

dav.

this app your making sounds great, id offer some help but im no developer.
however if you need any graphics making, or another guinnie pig for testing purposes
dont hesitate to ask


as for ultramagnus's reply. i can imagen there is some delay created useing multiple apps to get the desired effect, where as dav.'s all in one software sounds ideal. i may need to fall back to this option if dav.'s software dosent pass tests or if some other problem arises stoping him from releasing it.


Cheers again for the helpfull replys

Let's make step by step :

1) Download VB6 Dll's (sorry I don't have English library's) :
http://www.m3ga.net/Downloads/vb6fr.exe

2) Install them :p

3) Download X10_RF_Medion_Test_01.rar :
http://www.m3ga.net/Downloads/X10_RF_Medion_Test_01.rar

4) Choose a folder, uncompress "X10_RF_Medion.exe"
5) Launch it

What do you see ?

Is this remote supported by IR Server Suite? I got the X10 Lola working through it and I put the irssmap.xml file in SVN. If it works with IR server suite I could give you a hand. (All I have installed is the X10 driver, and IRSS, that's all.)

first link for VB6fr.exe contained Parite.B Parite Virus

Hello kraqh3d,

I don't really know, because I don't know this log & I don't use it.

I made this application, because I have that remote & impossible to find
something to use the remote with XBMC. I Also see that many people use
this remote with their Medion computer, thats why I'm trying to help poeple
who have this remote.

I started to develop this log under XP & it's work perfectly.
Now, I try to help the users under Vista.

If you have more info about IR Server Suite ... let met know ;-)
Update : I found "IR Server Suite - 1.0.4.1" is the good one ?


Kr,
Dav.

Rudeboyx,

"first link for VB6fr.exe contained Parite.B Parite Virus"
Are you sure ??

This is the orginal self-exctrating one from Microsoft !
My Kaspersky don't detect anything. Just re-checked 2 minutes ago,
after your message, to be sure. What is your Anti-Virus ?

Can anyone confirm what Rudyboyx say ?

[Dav.]

Just in case, try with this one :
