Lars_MQ Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I uploaded a Input plugin for the FireDTV remote into the Membersarea. This Plugin enables you to use the remote controls of FireDTV cards directly with the DVBViewer Pro. Installation ------------ - Extract the archive into the DVBViewer Pro Plugin folder. - Start DVBViewer und choose options -> Input -> Input Plugins - You should see the "FireDTV remote" plugin in the plugin list. - Activate it by checking the box in front of the plugin name. - Select settings (button on the lower right). This shows the settings dialog of the plugin. <-- only needed for V. 1.1 of the plugin. - In this dialog select the device you want to use. Leave the dialog by pressing OK. <-- only needed for V. 1.1 of the plugin. - Now you can learn the remote keys in the "Input" section of the DVBViewer options. Deutsch Quote Link to comment

JiTe Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Does someone have a working config file for the key layout? Quote Link to comment
arghhhh Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Does someone have a working config file for the key layout? I'va configured the remote, if you tell me hox to export config I'll send it tou you by PM. Quote Link to comment
hdv Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hello, you can save the configuration, Options -> Input -> "Save". Normaly your keyboard and remote keys are saved in the file "default.remote", who you can find in "C:\Program Files\DVBViewer Pro 3.6\Remotes". I'll send it tou you by PMplease post this as attachment in the forum, other users will thank you for assistance. Quote Link to comment

Jack Lelieveld Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I have three FireDTV receivers connected (DVB-S, DVB-C and DVB-T). When using the plug-in I get every command three times. Wood it be possible to select the receiver to be used for remote control reception like is done in the remote control software of Digital-Everywhere? At the moment I have covered to of the three I/R receivers with is preventing this problem, but it is not a very elegant solution. Is it possible to select a file (on disk) to be played using the remote controller (I don't use the OSD part of DVBViewer)? Thank for this great software! Quote Link to comment
Lars_MQ Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Is it possible to select a file (on disk) to be played using the remote controller Yes use the OSD for it. That's what it's for. Quote Link to comment
Lars_MQ Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 There is an Betaversion in the Betasection of the membersarea. Version 1.1 enables you to choose the device for using the remote. If you own only one FireDTV device you don't need this beta! There are no new functions. Please select the device in the Options -> Inputplugins -> Settings dialog. Further instructions in the first post or the readme of the plugin. Quote Link to comment
Saccy Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Here it is. Rename the attached file removing .zip extension. Erm, how? Quote Link to comment
Sarre Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Here it is. Rename the attached file removing .zip extension. This doesn't work, or maybe you have done a weird config of your remote There is only a few buttons that works with this config. But I can't config it by myself either. How do I tell DVBViewer to map a specific button to an action? Quote Link to comment
Lars_MQ Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 In the Options -> Input section. Quote Link to comment
Sarre Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 In the Options -> Input section. Forgot to tell you...that doesn't work for me. Should I have the learn button pressed? And then? I have used MyTheatre for three years now and in that program you choose the action and then press the according button on the remote. How does it work in DVBViewer? When I mark an action (i.e. exit function) and then press power button on the remote, then the zoom settings pop up The fact is that the remote doesn't recognize it is in learn mode. It uses the ordinary actions. Quote Link to comment
Lars_MQ Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 have you disabled the remote app in the systemtray? Quote Link to comment
Sarre Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 have you disabled the remote app in the systemtray? Ehm no...should I? But then I can not start DVBViewer with the remote, right? Quote Link to comment
Lars_MQ Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 But then I can not start DVBViewer with the remote, right? correct. either you use the native DVBV plugin control, or you have to read through the docs of the FireDTV remote app and adjust it accordingly. The internal control is a little more flexible though... Quote Link to comment
Sarre Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 It works now after disabling system tray app. Next problem...where's all the numbers 0-9? I have just luck with number 1 Quote Link to comment
Sarre Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Never mind...It was only a stupid layout in input section. The number actions are not in order. First comes number 3, then u have to scroll down to find number 1, 0 and 7. Further down comes number 4, and next comes number 5 to 9. Thank you for help anyway Edited June 5, 2007 by Sarre Quote Link to comment

Sarre Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Maybe cause I have swedish as language? Well it seems to be a bug anyway. Quote Link to comment
Sarre Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Another issue.... Is there a shortcut to switch from TV mode to DVD mode? I.e. when I press STOP button in DVD mode it automatically switch to TV mode. Then I want to return to DVD mode continuing watching the movie. But there seems to be no option for that Also, there is no option to use the SUB-T button on the remote to switch subtitle languages on the fly in DVD mode. Edited July 11, 2007 by Sarre Quote Link to comment
Moses Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 You can start the DVD Again through myVideos. In the next release there will be an action to start dvd playback, so you will be able to map that to a button, too. For SUB-T you could map the action "OSD Show Subtitle Menu". You have to add an input for that. There are some more interesting OSD Actions to discover Quote Link to comment
crion Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I can't get any commands acknowledged from the remote. I tried the regular and then the beta and selected my device. I have installed the latest BDA light drivers and DVBViewer. Nothing else. I don't have an RC icon in my taskbar. Is there anything else that needs to be installed for this to work? Quote Link to comment
Moses Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Just to be sure: you tried to learn some keys on the remote for some commands and that didn't work? Quote Link to comment
crion Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) Learn? No I'm just trying to get my FireDTV remote to operate DVBViewer. Do I have to learn the remote of commands for this? Edited August 2, 2007 by crion Quote Link to comment

arghhhh Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hi, after installing the 3.8 DVBViewer, the FireDTV remote is not working anymore.....Cannot event use the learn function Quote Link to comment
arghhhh Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hi again, so i've maybe found an excellent solution but need some informations to make it works. Using the RC modeul provided with the FloppyDTV, I can emulate keyboard keys, but in order to configure I need the exhaustive hexa codes list, and to know to witch button every hexa codes apply. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

arghhhh Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 there you go. Thanks a lot, with this pdf I can create a .keymap of my own and do not need to use a firedtv plugin for using the remote Thanks again . Quote Link to comment
Lars_MQ Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 I updated the Plugin to version 1.1.1. Please check your remote settings. Quote Link to comment
bratt Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 When I open the plugin settings the list of devices is empty. After pressing the learn button in the input section, sending remote commands has no effect . Quote Link to comment
Lars_MQ Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 1. close the firedtv remote programm 2. make sure the viewer finds the "FiresatApi.dll". Normally he should detect it via registry and the firedtv app installation. This may fail, to make sure the viewer can find it copy it from your programs\firedtv\tools folder into the DVBViewer program folder. Quote Link to comment
bratt Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 It's there in the list of plugins, problem is that when I open the settings ther is nothing in the list of devices. Quote Link to comment
keys Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hello, I've firedtv remote installed following the procedure. It's working , but i can't learn new mapping for remote ??? I can see mapping for firedtv in option/keyboard/shortcut but if try to learn nothing is learn. If i close remote control application in system tray i can't control DVBViewer from remote. Any idea ? DVBViewer 3.9 is installed Quote Link to comment
Moses Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Don't mix things up, please. There are two ways to use the FireDTV remote in DVBViewer: 1. with the external Aplication from Digitaly Everywhere included in the driver (shown as "RC" in Systemtray). The software has to be running and you can configure keys in some ini file for that software. Codes for the buttons are in the pdf some posts earlier. You just need to learn the keys in DVBViewer, but you need to do it manually, because the name of the options window isn't DVBViewer (if I remember correctly), so just look up the key strokes and learn them in DVBViewer. 2. Use the DVBViewer Plugin. You have to close the Application from DE and remove it from autorun! Install the plugin for DVBViewer and enable it in options->input->plugins. Select the correct device in its settings. After that you should be able to learn the buttons of the remote for your desired actions. You need to learn every button you want to use. If you want to use the remote to start DVBViewer, have a look at the DVBViewer starter beta. Quote Link to comment
keys Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) Even if i close the applicaion in system tray it doesn't work, no learning possible ! In plugin remote i can activate the api firedtv but if i click settings i can't see remote device, is it normal ? Edited November 25, 2007 by keys Quote Link to comment
