Hi, i have a standard media player remote. Play and pause buttons work well with any software including Plex Media Player but those buttons don’t seem to be recognized natively with HTPC. Is there any way i can fix this?
You’ll need to create a custom input map profile unless the maker of your remote has one available for download already on their website. There is a guide here with a game pad example: Plex HTPC Input Maps | Plex Support
It should be similar for a remote. Basically, launch HTPC, press the buttons you would like to map, and then use the HTPC log file to fetch the id for your remote plus the button names it received when you pressed them. You can then use that info to make the input map file directing Plex HTPC to the functions you would like for each button.
Thank you for your help! I create a custom input map with the lines below and it did the trick!
{
“name”: “Keyboard Generic”,
“idmatcher”: “Keyboard.*”,
“mapping”:
{
// Microsoft Windows Media Center SE; Logitech Harmony device
“Media Pause”: “pause”,
“Media Play”: “play_pause”,
“Media Stop”: “stop”,
“Media Rewind”: “seek_backward”,
“Media Fast Forward”: “seek_forward”,
“Media Previous”: “step_backward”,
“Media Next”: “step_forward”,
“Back”: “back”,
}
}
Glad to hear. You can change the name to anything you want so Logitech remote or anything. Apart from that, make sure the idmatcher is as specific as possible to the remote series so as not to interfere with any other devices that try to connect. Glad it works
