<br>
or in short...<br>
Device type: Computer -> Media Center PC<br>
<br>
Manufacturer: Microsoft<br>
<br>
Model: Windows Media Center SE<br><br></blockquote><div><br>Hey all,<br><br>Just wanted to follow up on this, to see how well anyone else has this working.<br><br>I found all this very useful and did manage to get my Harmony 300 working (mostly) using the Windows Media Centre SE device from Harmony, along with the MS Windows device selection in LIRC. This needs some tidying up, but most of the buttons work, which is great. I have had many failed attempts in the past, so thanks for the info here!<br>
<br>One thing I am struggling with though, is setting up some extra buttons, for example, I have allocated some buttons to "Alt+2" and other number keys, which I want to link to aspect ratio change etc.<br><br>
When running irw, I get output for all keys, apart from the ones I have changed, it doesn't just seem to be the ones that are 2 key presses either. I have mapped the "Delete" command to a button, but get nothing for that either. So it appears to just be "non-standard keys". I do see the receiver flashing when I press these keys. The exception to this is "RecTV", "Videos", "Music" and "Pictures", which get picked up OK.<br>
<br>I went on to try irrecord, but could not get that working with my receiver, it errors out at first with:<br><br>"irrecord: could not get file information for /dev/lirc"<br><br>So I instead ran with the "-d" to specify a device, "/devices/virtual/rc/rc0/input7" failed and I got the same error message. But "/var/run/lirc/lircd" did allow irrecord to continue until it was waiting for key presses, but pressing any remote keys and irrecord bails out with:<br>
<br>irrecord: error reading from /var/run/lirc/lircd<br>irrecord: No such file or directory<br>irrecord: no data for 10 secs, aborting<br>irrecord: gap not found, can't continue<br></div></div><br>If anyone has tried the same Harmony device setup and can shed any light, would be much appreciated.<br>
<br>Cheers<br><br>Martin<br>
