Plugin for USB PC Remote Controller

[molitar]

Anybody know why the latest plugin breakes fullscreen button again? All the other buttons work but not full screen.. I forgot to backup mine before updating and the stupid latest Eventghost installs a broken USB PC Remote Controller plugin so it stops working.. so I restore the latest from here but full screen I can not get to work... does anyone know of a program that captures the values so I can modify this plugin value for the full screen button?

Hi I have a Technisat Remote (TTS35AI) and the Technisat Universal IR Reciever (0900/3704) running Win 7 64bit with no UAC

When I plug the receiver into windows it is recognized as a keyboard and each button on the remote is a predefined keyboard press.

When I tried to use the Technisat Universal IR plugin in EventGhost, it installs the custom drivers, but eventghost does not pickup any keypresses and the remote not work as a keyboard anymore.

From what I see the default Technisat Plugin found in the EG installation is based off the files found in USB-Remote-Driver.zip and WinUSB Add-on.zip (EG downloads section).

My IR receiver these following specs
VID: 147A
PID: E02D
GUID: {745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da}

When checking the init.py from the Technisat plugin and the driver.ini from the downloaded USB-Remote-Driver.zip everything from my IR receiver matches (VID/PID) except the GUID.

So far what I have tried was changing the GUID in init.py ( found in default technisat plugin installed with EG) and also changing the GUID in the driver.ini (USB-Remote-Driver.zip) then and updating existing driver with the new GUID valueed driver.ini. The problem with this attempt is that eventghost does not like the changed driver.ini and prompts to install its own previous non working drivers.

I have also tried installing WinUSB separately that I found the downloads section instead of automatically.

I think something is blocking EG from registering the remote presses.

I don't know if its a buggy driver setup, Win 7 64bit with no UAC, something wrong with EG, or maybe some third party app interference.

I know the IR reciever works since the default HID drivers. I've seen others in this thread with the same problem. Any resolution? Am I doing something wrong?

Is it possible to use the USB PC Remote Controller Receiver (VID: 073A, PID: 2230) with a different IR remote (e.g. a RC-5 remote of a Sony A/V Receiver)?

Is it sufficient to modify the event codes in the the __init__.py file?

Best Regards,
Nona

If anyone needs a plugin for the Emprex 3009URF http://www.emprex.com/01_news_02.php?newsid=98 I managed to modify one of the default scripts to work with it and all the buttons now register in EG

Hello all,
I have bought this ebay remote control with the unbeatable price in mind hoping for it to be an acceptable remote as i want to control my slingplayer (everything i needed was just number input and some "enter" button + some CH+ CH+ buttons - nothing extraordinary i guess). Well, i was quite disappointed finding out that the numpad is not like we are used to (e.g. u have to press key 3 4times to get the actual number 3 written/put), changing channels by pressing numbers is just the simplest thing and its been around since the very birth of RCs, so i think i just quite rightly expected it do the job. Then i found EG, im just a total noob as far as EG is concerned. I understand I have to instal proper drivers for the device and then get the plugin work by editing the init python file (ive read all the posts). I dont even know if i can change that alphanumeric input into just numeric input using EG. Anyway, I used the current Pakos plugin, modified it, it prompted to instal the driver, i agreed, the istallation routine seemed to be OK, but then it began repeat itself over and over and to no avail, the device is still identified as an USB input device and i still got the same EG error:

Error starting plugin: Deal Extreme USB PC Remote
Device not found!

Obviously there is a driver needed - smart of me . Well i thought about pointing to the driver manually,wanted to download it, but unfortunately there is no driver available anymore (i read all post, forum search, google search) as I wasnt able to find it.
You guys obviously know more about EG and this remote than I ever will, so if you just tell me whatever I have to do id be very grateful. Could you maybe upload the driver somewhere as id like to give it a shot, please. At least id like to get the numbers work properly. Thank you all a bunch.

Sorry for the driver upload request, i didnt notice the zip in download section. Already downloaded it, but i still got the Driver not found EG message Error strating plugin, Driver not found.
If i let the wizard download the driver it repeats itself again and again, informs me that all went well and driver was successfuly installed, but it wasnt, and the routine begins again...
Ive mmodified py file
Ive modified driver ...still no l uck.

Im gonna try again.
Thanks.

Well, this is where i got.



no warnings anymore, but when i press buttons on my remote i got no answer whatsoever. EG simply ingnores my remote. Driver seems to be installed OK and init file seems to be OK too. I dont know if this can be the problem, but my RC is kind of different from the remotes posted here. This is how it looks like:



Below i attached my modded driver.inf and init.py file. My hardware id VID_04B4&PID_0100 and guid {745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da}. Im done trying because i really dont know which way to go now, so i could use any advice.
Thank you a lot.
