Help with remote

[abaratian]

Hi
I am using another remote with 5922 using winlirc.
the problems are:
1. long response time. specially when watching HD channels, there is a very long lag.
2. the remote acts silly some times. key presses are misunderstood or sometimes some are dropped, again mainly when high bandwidths of the card is being used.
3. if I press many keys consecutively in a short period of time, the green light on receiver is turned off, and the remote won't work until a power off-on of the card and restarting windows or tuning to another channel.

I can go on with first 2 but the 3rd problem is very disturbing. can you provide a driver patch or a workaround to this problem?

another thing:
the default remote (not using winlirc) works like a charm. but i couldn't manage to get another remote working through driver.
how can I find the infra red codes for other remotes? can you provide a code monitor? (the winlirc monitor codes aren't the same)

Thank you every one for very quick and accurate responses.
so I'm back to using the default remote.

the problem is that the "menu" key of the remote doesn't work. it is set to ctrl+D (100107) and the scan code is correct (9e) but it is not recognized at all! All other buttons work, even the ones I've changed, not this one
plz help!

Can you say what code can be used to simulate the keyboard "right click" button?

Hi abaratian


Would you mind telling us that which shortcut key you want to set with the "menu" key of the remote.
And do you means that you manual congfig the VHID's inf file as we said before, or use WinLIRC ?

Kind Regards

I am editing the VHID config file.
I want to assign CTRL+D to "menu" key
Here is the code:

Code: Select All Code

HKR,"DriverData","IR_Scancode_17",   0x00010001, 0x9e
;"Menu":KEYBOARD_D, CTRL_DOWN
HKR,"DriverData","IR_Virtualcode_17",   0x00010001, 0x100107,   0x00

This doesn't work!!

the right click button found on some keyboards has the same effect in media center, but i couldn't find its code in usb guide.
can you tell me that code, or a way to overcome the issue with CTRL+D?

Hi abaratian

From the config code,it shows ok,So can you have a test with manual press CTRL +D, to check this shortcut key is ok.

>the right click button found on some keyboards has the same effect in media center
right click button? mouse right click ??

Hi
Ctrl-D works fine on (any) normal keyboard. It doesn't work neither with this method, nor with winlirc + winlirc helper.
I mean the button below: (the one between alt and ctrl)

It's name is "context menu key"

Hi abaratian

It is the WIN key, Please have a config like this:
;IR_Virtualcode_*: application shortcut key
; 0x00x x x x xx
; |->ctrl key pressed flag
; |->shift key pressed flag
; |->Alt key pressed flag
; |->keyboard(1 for keyboard, 2 for system key)
; |->Virtualcode(refer to the USB HID usage table)

HKR,"DriverData","IR_Scancode_17", 0x00010001, 0x9e
;"Menu":KEYBOARD_D, CTRL_DOWN
HKR,"DriverData","IR_Virtualcode_17", 0x00010001, 0x100117, 0x00

Use this setting and then have a try again.

Kind Regards
