Pinnacle Media Center Serial Port

If you have BSplayer Pro you are entitled for direct support from BSplayer team members through this Anyway, you have to install and configure the application that came with your remote. I never saw that remote, so I don't know how it works, and without a configuration file, I can't analyze the commands used by the remote to control other programs (generally the commands and the applications the remote can control are set in a configuration file and not hardcoded in the main program.

But if your remote belongs to this last case, there's nothing you can do to control BSplayer with it). # # brand: HP # model no.

Of remote control: TSGH-IR01 # devices being controlled by this remote: HP Slimline S3100y # # Derived from MCEUSB2 lircd.conf file (lircd.conf.mceusb) found at: # # # RC-6 config file # # source: # # # used by: Philips # ######### # # Philips Media Center Edition remote control # For use with the USB MCE ir receiver # # Dan Conti dconti acm.wwu.edu # # Updated with codes for MCE 2005 Remote additional buttons #., #, Teletext, Red, Green, Yellow & Blue Buttons # Note: TV power button transmits no code until programmed. Are you sure this config is your remote correct configuration file for WinLIRC? RC6 IR is a protocol used by some remotes, not the name of the remote itself. Can you find out which one is the real remote model, maybe under the battery slot? This way maybe we can find more useful information on the net. The page you posted is a really good guide made by a (former?) user of this forum (and one of the most prolific plugins author for BSplayer) You can build your own IR receiver by following that guide, and you can use that receiver with every IR remote controller! The only problem is that that guide only cover IR receivers that connect to the serial port of your PC.

If your PC is not provided with a serial port you have to create a USB controller, but it's more expensive and you also need to install a driver on your PC (if you search the net you can find both of them;) ) My Pinnacle TV tune came with a USB IR receiver, and I wasn't able to make it work with WinLIRC, but I found a way to make it work with other applications by changing some configuration lines in an INI file that came with the application used by Pinnacle to drive the pinnacle tuner application by the IR remote. If your HP capture device has an application that is used to let communicate the remote with the capture application maybe you can use it to drive BSplayer.

But you have to find the correct configuration file and understand how it's built-up.

So here's a strange problem I'd like help with. I've tried as hard as I can to get my STB to work with Windows 7 media Center and an IR blaster (Pinnacle Remote Kit) and my Motorola DCT2224 Set top box. It appears that Windows Media Center is unable to recognize the IR code for changing channels correctly, nor can i find codes that work within the list of Motorola codes either.

I've even tried manually setting each button (1-9, 0, CH+, CH-) and I still can't get the channels to change correctly. What I'm looking at doing is directly connecting my computer and my Set Top Box via a 9-pin serial cable (COM1) through the STB Data port. I've read on numerous threads across the internet that it's possible with Sage and this specific model STB, however there are no mentions as to WMC. Is it possible at all to direct my STB via my COM port? I've also found that using the Data port still requires the correct IR codes, and I have found a downloadable set of codes for this STB in the form of a.ir file as well as a.ini and I would like to know if it's even possible to drop this in a folder somewhere and direct WMC to it and simply control the IR blaster too.

Anyone know how to fix this?it.
