This is a topic for questions concerning the Hauppauge IR plugin.

The plugin is using the irremote.dll, which is installed with the Hauppauge software package Ir32.exe.

I have tested the plugin on a system with the Hauppauge PVR-350. The DLL is also used by several other Hauppauge TV cards, in this case the plugin should work also on other Hauppauge TV cards.

If you want to use the plugin, the Hauppage IR package (Ir32.exe) must be installed. Make sure, that you have disabled the Hauppauge program Ir.exe. While the installation of the Hauppauge software, a link to this program is created in the auto start folder. This link must be removed, otherwise two different programs are using the DLL in parallel, this will cause malfunftions.

Hi,

I have created a new version of the HauppaugeIR plugin

Following features are added and bugs fixed:

    The initialisation of the driver was failing sometimes after standby. It seems to be, that this problem is solved by a postponed initialisation (15s after wake up)

    On a timeout while the initialisation the Event "HauppaugeIR.InitError" will be fired (Should be never occuring)

    A restart action is added. If this action is executed, the driver will be restarted

    The poll time can now controlled by the configuration of the plugin

Very nice, is the limitation of emitters a hauppauge limitation or is it usually a limitiation of the application using it?

IE I have 3 PVR150s and 3 of the same set top box, this be configured to use each output independently?

I don't actually have this hardware but I have always ~heard~ the hauppauge IR was only good for 1 output zone. Didn't know if that was true and if so was it the application or actual Hauppauge.

hey,
thanks for the plugin, but I cant get it to work, nor indeed any of these bloody IR applications. :cry:

1. Do you need a .pyc file also or is that created automatically? Having placed the _init_.py file goes in a Hauppauge folder (in the plugins folder), the program can't 'read' it when i go to add a plugin.

2. Where does the copy of the irremote.dll file go? I put it in this new Hauppauge plugin folder too but the program still can't read this plugin.

Many thanks for any help, im sick to death of nothing working.
Kieran

PS. The ir.exe has been disabled at instructed.

Hello.

@User

1. The .pyc file is compiled python code, you don't need to worry about this file, just replace the __init__.py file in the plugin dir.

2. I would assume the .dll file goes in the main eventghost dir, same place where you have the eventghost.exe

Thanks but no luck;
the (Hauppauge plugin) folder I created shows up in Eventghost's plugins menu in 'Other' plugin, but the _init_.py file can't be read.

Thanks.

Are you using the latest nightly version? There should be a HauppaugeIR dir already in the plugins directory, no need to create that yourself. Just replace the old __init__.py file with the newer one.

Hi,

sorry about my late answer, I was on vacation.

It's not necessary and has no effect to copy the dll file into the event ghost folder. The plugin is using the dll file from the original Haupauge installation directory.

Regards
Stefan

I can use some advice....

I have a pc with a hauppauge wintv hvr 1100 card with a remote control onboard. I would like to use this with Event Ghost.

I have installed ==>
EventGhost Version: 0.3.5c build 908
SVN Revision: 112
Compile Time: ma, 16 apr 2007 17:32:45
Python Version: 2.5.0 final 0
wxPython Version: 2.8.1.1
PIL Version: 1.1.6
Platform: Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP3

This release doesn't have a plugin directory ..\HauppaugeIR\ so I created one just like User and I get the same error that the plugin can't be read -->

Thanks for the quick response.

I installed the latest version from 28 october and I could add the hauppauge plugin. I had stopped the IR program which is trigger during start up and I re-booted my machine.

I started event ghost and I received many error message's :

Hi,

it seems to be, that the "irremote.DLL" is available but couldn't started (A timeout occured while starting).

Do you have realy removed the ir.exe link in the a auto start directory?

Could yo get the version of the irremote.dll?

Does this problem occures everytime when you try to start the plugin?

Regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Everytime I enable the Hauppauge plugin it comes with these message's.

I removed the shortcut from the start group and it doesn't show in the task manager. If I start ir.exe it is listed in the task manager.

My irremote version is 2.58.26155.0.

Regards, Michel.....

Stefan
