Using StreamZap to get in/out Sleep

[willgill]

Is there any way I can utilize the StreamZap remote's power button to trigger "sleep"? I've got the IR receiver that came with the StreamZap remote. I've also got the USB-UIRT but haven't hooked it up yet. The only software I have loaded right now is SageTV and the native StreamZap software but I'd be willing to look into Girder or anything else if it will do it.

I think girder is the only way, check the link in my sig, there's a guide that should get you going with the streamzap and girder.

Mucho thanks. That's just what I needed. I'm really new to this stuff and didn't think I wanted to take the time to learn Girder. It's pretty daunting. However, that guide was great and I've got my power button working great. Now I've got to take the time to tweak in the other buttons.

This is really OT, but has anyone thought about using Logitech's new Bluetooth Media Desktop?. It's a pretty interesting concept, especially for people that may use their system equally as a PC as well as DVR.

Actually I've got a Gyration combo that works really good, just wave the mouse in the air, and the keyboard is nice and small, perfect for casual use/maintinence. The DiNovo looks really nice, but I'd rather have a real remote.

FWIW, I attached a GML with my Streamzap config if you're interested. Just remove the .txt from the filename if you use it.
