Remote in placeshifter?

[orangezero]

Ok, another wall I'm running into right now is with my remote.

I've read about the various remotes, and decided on the MCE remote for various reasons.

So, is there a way to run the sage placeshifter v5.02 with a MCE remote? Does placeshifter not have remote functions? I have looked up how to connect it to the regular sagetv installation, and didn't know how best to do it with placeshifter. Is the HIP a better way to do it?

thanks,

The Placeshifter client can't control a remote directly at this time, so you would have to use some other software, such as Girder or HIP, to control the remote & send keystrokes to the Placeshifter window. You have to use keystrokes because you cannot use the command event codes via Windows messaging w/the PS client.

thanks for the help.

I've done some more reading tonight and decided to try HIP to get the mce remote to work. I was wondering if anyone had a config file they could send me or show where to download to get sage placeshifter to work with the mce remote via HIP. I have used girder in the past but it was always a pain. I'd rather not have to learn one more program if possible. But modifying a config file a bit is probalby doable.
