enzeder Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I currently use KODI with the Chowsoft driver, and am experimenting with using external video players (specifically MPC with using MADVR to do HDR Tone Mapping). However one problem is that of course as soon as you pass control to an external player if you want to pause etc I have to resort to using a keyboard. Ideally I would like to be able to still use the C4 remote. Anyone have any smart ideas of how I might be able to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I would like to be able to still use the C4 remote. Anyone have any smart ideas of how I might be able to do this?Could you use a windows media center remote and use an ir bud run to your control4 controller attached on the usb ir reciever that comes with the remote?External player usb port -> usb ir reciever of media center remote-> ir bud -> control4 controller. Does that make sense? If you have trouble finding one I have an old one that I'm not using. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzeder Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Yes that does make sense, presume I would need a "media windows centre" driver installed. And then I could programme that if say I hit pause on the remote whilst I have the Kodi device selected that it also sends a pause IR command to the WMC driver? Is another way that when I select play on KODI C4 changes the device to the media centre and then changes back to KODI when I hit stop? Ironically I had a big clean up this time last year and put some old MCE remotes etc I had around in the e-recycle. Presumably a FLIRC would do the trick as well?

ecschnei Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 You just need the dealer to make a driver for each of the commands you want so it knows the ir pulsesSent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germs Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 @enzeder i currently have the exact same probs. also vor Madvr and MPC-BE . But for the time being i prefer to use DS Player , works better atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzeder Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Intuitively I don't much like the idea of going back to KODI 17.6 but may be I should just get over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope DS Player comes back in Kodi 19. But that still leaves us with the commands of Madvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzeder Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Installed Kodi 17.6, it was good advice - much easier than messing around with external players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
