• PostMessage API function access to send Windows type messages.
• Volume control.
• Computer log off, reboot or shutdown.
• Windows management.

IR Assistant

• Control almost all Windows applications, e.g. DVD, MP3, CD-players, TV-cards, slide shows etc, and especially SesamTV Media Center, full multimedia software for TV viewing.
• Download SesamTV Media Center!
• Emulate mouse actions (cursor movements and button clicks)
• Launch applications
• Execute macros on different target windows
• Execute mouse clicks on predefined locations (useful for example with Windows CD player)

Can be used with media players like BSPlayer and Media Player Classic

Also Girder is a good tool for windows control using the remote

[mario_pant]

wow mann.....
this workz GR8!
i made one today on a GP-PCB it works wonderfully!

just looking for how to trap the mouse....

 

[mario_pant]

which is the BEST control app among those?

 

[Chirag]

I have Lightwave tuner card. My bro got it frm Dubai.

 

[mod-the-pc]

@mario_pant Girder is my choice.
@chirag, this is the first time I'm comming across Lightwave. Definitely its worth a try using its remote as winlirc supported even cheap chinese dvd player remotes!!!

 

[kjuvale]

is there any way to create usb dvice?

 

[mod-the-pc]

Yes that should be possible, do let me know if u manage to make one.

@mod-the-pc will be off to a no-pc-land for somedays and hence will not able to spend time in this board for sometime

Secondly is it possible to use the larger female connector. Larger as in greater than 9-pin

 

[mod-the-pc]

@chesss not sure though they have same op voltage. Do try and let us know the results.

[eureca_eureca]

i am using PCTV pro , pctv software not installed , can u tell meif i can use the remote and the reciever i got with the card for controling , i tried but it didnt recieve any signal , but using *www.pcremotecontrol.com software , iam able to see the signals recieved on each key press ..but i dont know how to configure to play winamp or any other software. please help me do that..do i need a plugin for winamp too for this to work ?

 

[mod-the-pc]

@eureca_eureca WinLIRC requires a receiver different from the one bundled with PCTV. There may be other softwares to use ur PCTV remote & Receiver.
PCRemoteControl supports keypress simulation so
1. Enable global hotkeys in Winamp5
2. Map appropriate remote buttons to simulate the global hotkey for winamp.

Doing this does not require a plugin !!!

However I' not sure of PCRemoteContol's support for PCTV remote support
