Windows HOW-TO use Logitech Harmony Universal Remote Control without EventGhost

timmi1000 - and that is actually sending ALT+F4 in your case?

Yes,
I tried it with my Harmony One and my Harmony 300.

cryodream Wrote:Hey guys, anyone can help me to remove (or at least reduce to minimum) the delay between Harmony One button key presses? I've made a little script to show me how long a delay (in ms) I have between key presses. A test is done by holding a key/button "1" on the regular keyboard and then on Harmony One.

Code:

Keyboard: 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33

Harmony One: 317 314 330 315 317 313 317 314 330 316 315 317 313 316 328 316 315 318 313 316 330

Now I know that probably remote can never be as fast as USB keyboard, but 300+ milliseconds delay, c'mon. It's just too annoying when I need to scroll thgrough movies or tv shows in XBMC...

If anyone can help me to reduce that, I would be eternally gratefull

Any news on this?

Reading this thread since I'm getting an IR receiver in the mail today to use with my harmony one. My Antec Soundgraph VFD has been pissing me off.

Are people also experiencing key delays with harmony one and this method? The sole reasons to get an extra IR receiver for me was to fix the stupid delays that I was getting with the Soungraph. Whats the best way to get it 100% working?

So, I fought for a bit to get my Logitech One remote to work on my new XBMC build, 10.1, on an Acer Revo 3610 and I was eventually successful. Now, I'd like to get some of the functionality from my original Xbox controller and XBMC ported over to my logitech.

Ideally, I'd like to get a right click function so I can queue music and have access to that menu. I also REALLY want to get the Display function mapped to a key.

I've tried to set up/register the wireless mouse and keyboard that comes with the Revo 3610, however I think the differences between the wireless units are causing the issues; IR vs Wireless.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. My gf's patience is running a bit thin and one system needs to be removed from the home theater.

Hi, I have my Logitech Harmony One remote set up with the Microsoft MCE Keyboard. I have an 'Activity' for 'Watch XBMC' which turns on the tv and 'sets the input' for the MCE Keyboard to 'My Videos'. When this happens, it launches Windows Media Center.

I have tried using a script to make Windows Button + Alt + Enter launch XBMC instead of Windows Media Center, which works when I use the keyboard, but evidently the remote doesn't send this command sequence.

How do I make this 'setting the input to My Videos' launch XBMC instead of Windows Media Player? I would also settle for removing the 'setting the input' from the activity, but not sure how to do that either.

Thanks,

Trying to get this to work with a Harmony 880. Using the IR receiver built into my Asrock Vision 3D that ships with a remote. Strangely, it seems to work about 30% of the time. Sometimes commands won't register for 45 seconds, then things ork correctly for a little while and stop again.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I also have the same problem with delays and haven't found a working solution yet. So I'm also keen to see if anyone can help.

Hey guys,

I have a harmony one remote and it seems to work well with xbmc and my asrock.

Quick question. When I am watching a movie and I pause it and go into some of the settings to change the sound track or turn off subtitles, I can't close those windows with my remote. I have to use a keyboard.

The back button or exit button doesn't work for some reason. Anyone else had this issue?

Also when I am in the selection screen for a movie, pressing the info button doesn't get me to the movie info screen. Anyone know how to configure that to work?

Thanks

Will just add to the seamingly random reception of commands. I have noticed that I have a higher rate of errors with MCE keyboard cmds if I have attached a keyboard by USB.
