Hi all!

I have a Windows 7 machine set up running XBMC for all my media and TMT5 launched as an external player to watch Blu-Ray discs. It's controlled by a Microsoft MCE remote with XBMCCustomRegis 2.60.12.
All is working fine in XBMC, but in TMT5 most keys don't work - only the arrows and OK buttons seem to do anything. My question is: how to set up the remote to have it working in both?

^^ What I have done is to create an autohotkey script which captures keycodes from the MCE remote and sends keycodes for TMT5. For example, my MCE stop button sends 'X'. I have configured autohotkey to capture 'X' and send the stop command for TMT5 which I think is 'O'. The code is written in such a way that the hotkey functions only if TMT5 is running and active.

Another option is to configure the mce remote to send key press for TMT5 and then change the XBMC keyboard.xml.

The first version looks better, as it doesn't interfere with the configuration of the apps themselves (which might cause problems urther down the line).
Would you mind sharing your script?

My MCE codes may be different from yours. Follow the snippet below. I think you are familiar with autohotkey scripts. You can get the shortcuts used by TMT5 from the help file and MCE keycodes by using a tool like showkey.exe.

Code:

#IfWinActive, Total Media Theater ; If TMT is active

X:: ; stop button
SendInput O
return

S:: ; Power button
SendInput ^X ; send CTRL+X
return

These autohotkey help files will be useful:

Thanks, I'll work with that.
