taurus Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 hi forum people , i have had this media remote lying around and just using for volume up and down because thats about all that works with it, i thought i could maybe write up a script to make it do MORE ? all the circled up buttons dont work, ive tryed reading them by making simple script. [autoit] #include <Misc.au3> While 1 Sleep(100) For $x = 1 to 254 If _IsPressed(Hex($x)) Then MsgBox(64, "WARNING", "PRESSED :"&$x) EndIf Next WEnd[/autoit] but nothing works except arrows,ok,play/pause,fast forward,skip to next, volume and ofcourse the numerics and CLEAR[ESC] and ENTER ... anybody could help somehow? is there anything doable with this? there are no drivers for this thing ...

JohnOne Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Those buttons could possibly be a combination of two or more keys. Download or write a keylogger, (downloading better as they cannot be discussed on here if you have problems). EDIT: infact au3recorder has a built in keylogger, see if that detects the presses.

spudw2k Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Found this article. Not sure how applicable it may be, but seeing a lot of combination codes for various buttons. I think @JohnOne may be on to something.

Gianni Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 ..... worth check whether those buttons actually send a signal (probably those individual keys could be not working). To test if a remote control is working, (even for individual keys) you can use the phone's camera in this way: set the camera in shooting mode and then pointing the remote control at the camera lens and press the various buttons on the remote, if the key you are pressing actually transmits a signal, you can see the lED that flashes on the camera display. If you do not see the LED blink then the remote control button does not work. Chimp small minds discuss people average minds discuss events great minds discuss ideas.... and use AutoIt....

I think @JohnOne may be on to something. the article ive seen . and it still just shows keys that DO work in windows , they are mostly replicas of xbox controller keys. and @JohnOne idea did not turn out too good either... tryed advanced programs , no luck whatsoever 7 hours ago, Chimp said: ..... worth check whether those buttons actually send a signal (probably those individual keys could be not working).

If you do not see the LED blink then the remote control button does not work. they do check out, every key is working with flashing light. but no software can read the buttons , as a matter of fact , i dont really remember any of those keys working even on windows vista/7 days when i got the remote with a prebuilt packard bell computer before...so im not sure whats the story with them, but would be handy if i could get them to do my own things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudw2k Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I didn't even know Packard Bell was still in business; last time I saw/worked on one was pre Windows XP days (Windows 98 SE/ME). I guess they just don't sell in the U.S. anymore (beaten by gateway, compaq and dell I presume).
