Yes, I have a Hauppauge remote with similar buttons.

Yes, yes of course.
If you run MythWeb go to:
mythweb/settings/keys
My remote has a button called "Rec TV", for recorded shows.
I setup a jump point for that.
JumpPoints Editor
Destination Description Key bindings
TV Recording Playback )
So, in the frontend, if I have a keyboard I can type ) and that will take me
to my recordings directly.
Likewise I setup:
Main Menu ~
Next thing to do is tie these together with the remote.
In my /etc/lirc/lircd.conf I checked the "name" of those buttons:
RecTV 0x00007bb
Then in my ~/.mythtv/lircrc if that button "name" is pressed, I tell it to
press ")" in the frontend.
begin
prog = mythtv
button = RecTV
config = )
end
As easy as that.
So when I added more remotes to my system (since I have other multi task
remotes) I make sure in my lircd.conf file the "name" of the button is the
same as my other remotes (the code is different obviously). That way I
don't need to change anything else and it all works.
HTH,
Dave
