Yes, I am working on the code now that I have free time.
As soon as I have it working, I'll post in. I've learned everything I need to learn for this, so I've been quiet. Now it's just clerical work to bang it out, and figuring out where to spawn the threads inside Orbiter.

Thom Does that mean, then, that you also know what is needed to get the Fiire remote working under the new kernel HID handler instead of libusb? I am presuming that the Gryation remote needs to interface in the same way, or am I missing something there? (you know I really just want to upgrade to 0810  ) |

I've said this before, and I won't mention it again.
The Fiire Remote is a SPECIAL CASE and must be handled by a totally different routine.
I will get to it, when I get to it. I promise.

Trust me, I wouldn't either. But there are many remote buttons that do not have DCE commands to directly map to, that have direct meaning in Orbiter itself. I have to have access to Orbiter's event queue.

Well guys, it was a long road. But I just committed the Generic HID Handler to SVN, and the matching Gyration 3101 changes to sqlcvs.
This is a first pass, all the buttons work. I want to add support for holding down the mouse buttons to trigger the media and lights submenus, but that will come during the beta testing.
Thank you all for contributing, the feature is complete enough for testing for those of you who have 0810 installs.
There will not be an update for 0710.

Thom,
I noticed that the up and down arrow buttons don't seem to work correctly for me. If I go to audio or video and then try to use them to scroll up or down they end up causing the list to jump to a particular artist or movie. Do I need to reset my remote somehow or somehow update its firmware. Does anybody else see this problem. Everything else works great! Appreciate the hard work!

on a similar note, on my latest version the remote doesnt seem to function much.
For example the pause / play / rew / ff keys dont work at all when playing DVDs
The forward, rewind buttons when clicked bring up Thoms new overlay that allows you to mute or play/pause the movie.
Then while watching a ripped movie, the play/pause buttons dont work but the FF and RW buttons do....
Anyone else encountering this behaviour ?
I am pretty sure the remote worked a lot better on a previous build.....

fido, have you done apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade on the media director? Just curious if that has been done or if it fixed your problem.

yeah, it was a clean install built from source...so all was up to date....
I have a drive with my previous build on it, so will probably add it back in and see how it compares....

Thom is aware of this issue and will hopefully have the arrow keys working properly by the next build.

Hi, I have finally also got hands on one of theese - very nice indeed But how can I get the Fastforward/rewind rose up ? # and * both gives me the Lightning rose ... And secondly - it would be nice if there could be a button or linuxmce menu selection (after pressing the green windows key) for the MythTV "Menu key". As it is needed for changing audio or if the 16:9 description of the channel/program is not right and one has to change that manual. Even better would be the zoom menu that LinuxMCE has  Did I descrbe that clearly enough ? Greetings Viking |

this has been fixed in recent builds, tap the top left [>] button next to the left arrow to get the media gyro menu. There is no button for the light/vol atm.
