Chinavision RC with Harmony - PoweRoy - 2011-07-06 Hi all, I've ordered recently the Chinavision CVSB-983 (only for the IR receiver). It arrived yesterday I'm looking how to set it up my logitech harmony (555) to use the IR receiver + XBMC. Now I don't find any good topics about it, lots of 'receiver is crap' etc. I also find contradicting topics: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use Logitech Harmony Universal Remote Control without EventGhost Here they say you have to add a 'MCE keyboard' to the logitech harmony software. [LIVE] Cheap USB Receiver - What do i setup Harmony one as?? Recommend buying an other one because this one is crap:mad: Harmony 880 will not work with Chinavision CVSB-983 I've tried to add the remote as the chinavision CVSB-983 and had to learn some extra buttons. But now a quick try in XBMC it didn't work. Do I need to configure something in XBMC? Or in keyboard.xml"? Anybody using the IR receiver in combination with the harmony and got it working? Please let me know - jhsrennie - 2011-07-06 According to http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Remote_Control_Reviews#Unbranded_MCE_remote: It can be used with Logitech Harmony Remote Software by picking Computer>>Media Center PC>>Chinavasion>>CVSB-983 The rceiver emulates a keyboard, i.e. when you press a button on the Harmony the PC receives a keypress.

I setup my remote with the above mentioned configuration- Computer > Media center PC > Chinavision > CVSB-983 The problem is, only a few buttons are functional. I can navigate up,down,left,right but there doesn't seem to be any mapping for "Enter", "Backspace" or "Esc" which make it impossible to select a menu item or back out of a current menu... Any thoughts or advice from someone who has setup a Logitech harmony with the Chinavision receiver? - jhsrennie - 2011-09-13 ARCHA1C Wrote:Any thoughts or advice from someone who has setup a Logitech harmony with the Chinavision receiver? Sorry if it sounds a bit trite, but the best advice is to throw away the Chinavision remote. If you want a cheap remote buy an ORtek VRC-1100 (http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Remote_Control_Reviews#VRC-1100) or one of the many rebadged varients of this remote. If you can afford a bit more buy an eHome remote like the HP or Microsoft remotes. JR RE: Chinavision RC with Harmony - Legolas - 2015-02-02 I don't have an account on the Wiki site, but as there is a link to this post, wanted to share some info I captured using ShowKey.exe Code: Button KeyID Mod I guess this reciever doesn't support MCE IR keyboard presses, as my XBMC keyboard mappings were not getting recognized. Can do simple scroll/start/stop/etc. Not bad for $5. |
