A long long time ago, I purchased a Hauppauge HVR-1600 video capture card.

Then I got it to work with GBPVR.

That was all great and everything - my computer finally acted like a streaming media center without having to (at this point in time) reorganize all of my media onto a single drive and install LinuxMCE, but something was missing.

I needed IR remote control of it!

Anyway, for all you media geeks out there, here's all you need to know.

First, open up C:\WINDOWS\Irremote.ini in notepad.

Next, find the [Applications] section and add the following line:

PVRX2=

somewhere under "Default=" or "IR Remote=" - whichever comes last.

Next, change the following lines, under [Default] if you want to be able to power GBPVR on/off with the Hauppauge remote:

TV={close(radio.exe)}{sleep(750)}{run(c:\progra~2\devnz\gbpvr\pvrx2.exe)}
TVNEW={close(radio.exe)}{sleep(750)}{run(c:\progra~2\devnz\gbpvr\pvrx2.exe)}

GRNPOWER={run(c:\progra~2\devnz\gbpvr\pvrx2.exe)}
GO={close(radio.exe)}{sleep(750)}{run(c:\progra~2\devnz\gbpvr\pvrx2.exe)}

RED={close(radio.exe)}{sleep(750)}{run(c:\progra~2\devnz\gbpvr\pvrx2.exe)}

so they match the above (if you have an x64 version of windows - if not, the path should start with "c:\progra~1" depending on where you installed GBPVR).

Next, add the following section after the end of the [Default] section (prior to the next section - here, you can just cut and paste):

[PVRX2]
OLD0=0
0=0
1=1
2=2
3=3
4=4
5=5
6=6
7=7
8=8
9=9
NAVLEFT={left}
NAVRIGHT={right}
NAVUP={up}
NAVDOWN={down}
OK={enter}
BACK={ESCAPE}
GO={f11}

GRNPOWER={alt}{f4}
MENU={HOME}

MUTE=
CHNLUP={pgup}
CHNLDOWN={pgdn}
VOLUP={right}
VOLDOWN={left}
REC={ctrl}k
STOP={ctrl}s
PAUSE={ctrl}q
PLAY={ctrl}p
REWIND={ctrl}d
FASTFWD={ctrl}f
SKIPFWD={ctrl}{left}
SKIPREV={ctrl}{right}

RED={ctrl}r
GREEN={ctrl}g
YELLOW={ctrl}y
BLUE={ctrl}b
TEXT={ALT}{SHIFT}o
SUBCC={ALT}{SHIFT}m

TV=
TVNEW={f2}
RADIO={f6}
MUSIC={f4}
VIDEOS={f3}
PICTURES={f5}
GUIDE={f1}
CHNLPREV={ctrl}w

That's it! It basically matches what's found at the GBPVR RemoteKeyMappings Wiki Page, however I did modify the key mapping a little to use {left} and {right} for volume control instead of {ctrl}x/{ctrl}z, for compatibility reasons - it didn't seem to work with {ctrl}x/{ctrl}z.
