SageTV plugin for ATI Remote Wonder

[ptaylor]

I just installed the new version of the plugin (for Sage 2.1) and I'm seeing some slightly different results than before...

Previously, I believe I could change the channel with the up and down arrows and the volume with the left and right arrows... The channel up/down and volume up/down also worked. Now, only the channel up/down and volume up/down keys are working. The up/down and left/right buttons seem to do nothing.

Is there a way to assign the Channel Up/Down functions to both the Channel Up/Down buttons and the up/down arrows, and the Volume Up/Down functions to both the Volume Up/Down buttons and the left/right arrows?

Ok, so, I've modified the source code to only "deal with" repeating keys everyone time they are seen. This appears to work well for me.

I did this by introducing an integer that gets incremented everytime the repeat_key function is executed. The code only sends the message to Sage if the counter mod 2 = 0. I wonder if there is some identifier string that I could use to make this code universal for RW and RW2. Any ideas?

Finally, I know others have expressed interest in this adjustment, so how should I handle it? I could just post the fix here, or I could send the source code back to neilm to buld and distribute.

It'd be great if you could just compile and post the binary here.

Ok, I got permission from nielm to post the changes I made.

Here's the source code change and the compiled SageTV.dll. Enjoy!!!

okay, resurrecting an old thread. For some reason, after a recent reinstall, my custom commands are no longer showing up in my RW software. I can not select them in the drop down menus to bind them to one of the A,B,C,D,E,F buttons. I had it working before. I tried editing and adding the plugin config file but still can't get them to show up. i did restart evertying too and make sure that the app was not running when i edited the file. Would anyone be willing to post their RW plugin config file that has the custom commands lited and working. This would help me out a bunch. Thanks

The assignment of SageCommands to A-F buttons is done by the RW software and stored somewhere in the registry...

Check that the Sage plugin is listed and enabled in the Plugins tab of the ATI RW software properties page (and re-import it if not)
In the Program Tab, select 'Specific to the currently active feature', and that will show a dropdown:
Whenever [Windows [v]] is active
Change the item in the dropdown to the Sage plugin and you should then be able to select the SageCommands for A-F buttons...

thanks nielm, i've definatly passed that part of the problem. It's all imported, i can select a bunch of different sage options for the A-F buttons, just not the custom commands. Like i mentioned, i had it working before, I used Custom 4 and 5 I think with the commercial advance. Now that sagemc supports it i need to get it working again. Basically, the custom commands just aren't showing up in the ATI software dropdown menus. all the other sagecommands are. I remember i had to manually put in the custom commands in the config file to get them to show up. I did that but they are still not their. Any more thoughts? basically, if someone has access to their config file that lists the custom commands that should do the trick. Or any other thought's would be great.
Thanks

Sorry, completely misunderstood you

You need to add the definitions of the custom1-5 in the [SageTVFunctions] section of the ini file and then restart the ATI application...
eg using the following items:

Custom1=Custom|Custom1,1258,1,78
Custom2=Custom|Custom2,1258,1,79
Custom3=Custom|Custom3,1258,1,80
Custom4=Custom|Custom4,1258,1,81
Custom5=Custom|Custom5,1258,1,82

Nielm, I have tried putting the lines in the ini file but the custom commands are still not showing up in the ATI application. I added the lines when the app was closed as too. If someone could post their ini file I think that would help me out. Thanks

This one worked for me.

If they still do not show up, then your ini file probably is not in the correct directory: Mine is in:
c:\Program Files\ATI Multimedia\RemCtrl\Plug-Ins\SageTV.ini

[JUC]

Thanks, I will try it when I get home. the ini file is in the right directory. Not really sure why the added lines aren't showing up though. Hopefully this will fix it.
Thanks again,

Thanks, that did the trick! I'll save a copy in the rest of my backup sage folder.

I have used this ATI Remote Wonder plug-in with great success for SageTV v.2.0.10 Server. Does this same plug-in work with the Remote Wonder II and SageTV 2.2.8?

I see the latest version on the first post is ...

Ver 2.1.0.1 : 28 Oct 2004

I then saw that on 12-01-2004, Beefcake550 posted the following file ...

ATI_RW2_SageTV_Plugin_v2_1.zip

I assume you install 2.1.0.1 first, then replace the DLL from the zip and it will work with RW II ... If so, does it work with SageTV 2.2.8??

If not ... Any other options??

Thanks, T.

Nielm ... I have used this plug-in for Sage 2.x with my Remote Wonder. Is there a Remote Wonder II Plug-in for Sage 4?? Or will this plug-in work just as well??

Thanks, T.

This plug in works great with my remote wonder II.

Excellent! Thanks lotusvball

Thanks again ... T.

[mightyt]

So ... Now that I got my Remote Wonder II installed and added the SageTV Plug-in, I see that it works just fine!!

My only question is this ... The A-F options are limited to Internal Screens available in 2.x. Is there a chance that Nielm, Beefcake550 or anyone might add 4.0 Internal Screens to the plug-in options??

Anyone .... P-L-E-A-S-E ....

Thanks, T.

The A-F options are limited to screens that have Commands mapped to them (Search/Library/Recordings). There is no way of adding new Commands (in the same way that you cannot map any keystroke to a specific screen through the Detailed Setup/Commands page)

So , for example ... additional Internal Screens can not be added to any of these lists?? (See Attachment) ... Say Weather, IMDB, RSS, Etc.?? Just like View Guide, Music Jukebox, Etc. were programmed in to the plug-in A-F options??

I am probably not asking the question right (sorry, too many late nights & early mornings I guess what I was not really asking for is there a way to do it in the plug-in's current state, but more asking if someone could update the plug-in to add more Internal Screen options to the list that are now available in Sage 4?? Of course I have no clue if this is a somewhat simple 10 minute task or days ... But, thought I would ask / beg since the RW Plug-in has been around a while and works very well ...

Thanks, T.

The answer is still no -- neither in the current state, nor in an upgraded version.

Because you cannot map a keypress (on the keyboard) to go to weather, IMDB, RSS, etc, you cannot do it either using a remote. The reason is that there are no Sage-internal commands to go to these screens (There are commands to go to the TV Guide/Music Jukebox/Library/Sage Recordings etc) and commands cannot be added to Sage
