[WINDOWS] HOW-TO setup Sony PS3 Bluetooth Remote Control to work with XBMC

Great application. Could anyone upload their settings file? the one early in the thread appears to be outdated. Also, is there a place that people have uploaded their settings files for other apps? Lastly, is it possible to set the repeat speed? perhaps even for each key. Thanks for your great work.

The one earlier in the thread will be for a MUCH earlier version.

No not yet, the idea was that people change the hotkeys in their applications so they are the same keyboard hotkeys for all applications. Then you assign these hotkeys to remote buttons in PS3BluMote.

I will look into making some default settings for popular applications.

In the next release you will be able to set the repeat speed overall, but not for each key (yet).

If you want to know when the next version is released, its best to follow my twitter account as I will tweet when it is.

Will have a look into this soon. Thanks.

You say "EVERYTIME" you reset your computer...does that mean you have lost them more than once, or are you assuming it would happen again?

I forgot to say is that I put a ps3 blumote shortcut in the start up folder of the start menu. So it opened at boot up then the error popped up and settings.ini was erased. (tried many times)
Thinking the problem originated from ps3blumote being a startup item I tried fixing it by removing the shortcut, restarted the pc, reopened ps3blumote and still got the error!
Finally I removed the sms entry option, opened ps3blumote no error! i put the shortcut back in the starup folder and bingo!

Thanks this works really well , the only issue i have is if the remote is not used for some time and then I try to use it it doesn't work , blumote says its connected and the icon is blue .... i then need to remove the PS3 batteries and put them back(basically reconnect) to get it working again.... any clue why this may be happening ?

Haven't used my PS3 remote for awhile but did anyone figure out how to stop the remote searching for a connection all the time and so stop draining the battery?

Thanks

dude jaks, the issue of that is the focus of most of these posts.

But if im not misstaken, the answer is yes on win xp and win7 32bit and no on win7 64.
ben is still working on that. we just had a major update of the application so check it out.
