EDIT - d'oh...should add I'm on win7 32bit.
I'm seeing ~25% CPU utilization on Vista 32.

The new experimental version doesn't seems to have an keymap import export function right?
I haven't found it yet.

Anyone else experiencing this or am I the only one?
I'm running the program on Windows 7 Ultimate with a IO Gear USB Bluetooth dongle.
Quite a few people have been reporting the high CPU usage...i'll definitely be looking into it.

And where can i get the ps3 remote application, the one on choochee's post (the one on the right).
Not possible to wake the PC, and highly likely that it will never be possible.
The application on the right is an old unstable BETA...a bit of googling and you might find it.

Hmm, I shall look into this tripple tap bug.

deadwolfbones Wrote:Using the experimental release... everything looks good, but I have two bugs:
1. Occasionally it's like the Windows key gets stuck, and if I try to type anything the keystrokes open all kinds of programs (presumably assigned to Win+N or whatever). Tapping the left Windows key once seems to fix this.
2. Holding down the PS button for 6 seconds doesn't do anything, with the remote hibernation on OR off. I have no way to de-pair the remote as things stand.
edit: x64 Win 7.
1. looking into this.
2. This is a hardware function....completely unaffected by my software. Holding the PS button for 6 seconds should disconnect the remote.

in Might work, but its not designed to do on a 64 system. sorry
I will work on x64 systems but the hibernation feature will NOT.

Definitely best to email the dev (me) as I rarely get the chance to look on these forums...
Alot of people have observed high CPU usage, so I am looking into it.
Tyler Durden Wrote:Just tried the standard build on my Win 7 32bit machine.
It appears to be working, but when inside XBMC my inputs seem to be doubled up. IE, when I press the left button the menu moves on 2 positions.
What can be causing this?
Have you got two instances of the application open?

Put fresh batteries in the remote and follow the setup instructions here: http://www.benbarron.com/applications

Thanks brett....CPU utilization should NOT be that high...what are you hardware specs?

That is correct....there is no keymap import/export yet.

ASUS laptop M50Vc
Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 @ 2.27 GHz
CPU usage is down to 13% today.

Hmmm, still not what it should be. 5% maximum is what it should be at. Wonder what is different that's causing the high CPU usage.

Any news on the CPU issues?

palmero Wrote:Just a quick update.
I have tested the Logitech PS3 adapter on Mac (Snow Leopard running on a intel iMac), using Remote Buddy.
First test: Using the Sony BD Remote.
The Remote Buddy software pairs the device and recognizes it as a SONY PS3 BD remote. Working flawlessly on XBMC (even changes subtitles and audio stream, aspect ratio... great)
Second test: Using Logitech PS3 adapter.
It is recognizes as a SONY PS3 BD remote. Exactly the same... And it works exactly the same! Plus now I can asign the volume buttons of the remote to control the A/V receiver and another button to change DSP sound...
Conclusions: For a MAC, the Logitech PS3 adapter is like a Sony PS3 BD remote, same in PS3, so it should be the same on Windows... or not?
I only have tested this with Windows 7 64 bits (Home Premium at home, Ultimate at work), and now in a Mac (and of course, with the PS3 itself).
I will test it on XP to see if there is any change... and it is a problem related to W7
Will keep you posted.
Update: Tested on Windows XP, using both the broadcom Stack with the integrated BT (VAIO Laptop) and with a Microsoft Bluetooth stack using a 2 USD dongle from dealextreme...
Both cases, SONY PS3 works fine, but Logitech does not work. It pairs, but after that it does not respond to IR commands....
Any idea?
Thanks!
I exactly have the same idea in my mind. I have a harmony 880 remote and a logitech Ps3 Bluetooth adapter. Although I do have the Sony PS3 Bluetooth Remote, i still would like to use Harmony as all in one remote for all the device including LCD TV and Yamaha A/V Receiver.
I am planning to add an HTPC to the setup and would like to control HTPC from the Logitech Harmony. A simple method would be to add usb Microsoft MCE IR receiver and configure it, however just to shelve the extra cost, I also would like to know the possibility which you have asked.
Which specifically is if we add a bluetooth dongle to HTPC and pair the Logitech PS3 BT Adapter with HTPC, then would it receive the IR commands from Harmony 880 remote, and would it translate them over the bluetooth to control the XBMC running on HTPC.
Yeah i know you had luck in Mac OsX Leopard, but I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit and would appreciate if you can update us about any latest findings.
You can also PM me for any replies.
Thanks.
