Remote Control For PC Jukebox

<< < (2/3) > >>

I did a bit more research myself. Apparently the driver/software that comes with the remote is total crap. There are some great 3rd party alternatives.

Girder ( http://www.girder.nl/ )  is freeware and highly customizable.

PC Remote Control ( http://www.pcremotecontrol.com/ ) is shareware and is also supposed to be very good.

Of course, native support in Cyberpunk's Virtual Jukebox would be my ideal preference...   ::)   :)

I got my info at http://www.redflagdeals.com  Search the "Hardware & Software" section of their forum for "creative remote" to find the same posts I did...

BobA:
Got the 2 that I ordered today.  Software that comes with it is not worth the CD that it is recorded on.  Very limited version that Creative Labs probably got for free since and upgrade is need to add features and it is still poor.

Tried Girder and after the initial learning hump it looks like it will work fine with Virtual Jukebox.  Will have to think out how to assign the keys so that the keypad will make sense with the symbols that are on it.  Will make file available once I get it sorted out.

Keypad is really small. 2 x 3 1/4 inches and less than 1/4 inch thick.

That's all for now.

Whatyado? Live in Calgary!!??   :P

I haven't gotten my order yet...  :'(

BobA:
Not Calgary,  Edmonton.

The GML file for girder is available from my ftp at the link noted below:

Works really well with virtual jukebox.  Please note it is set up to work in all windows because that was easy and I am planning on using it only for virtual jukebox which will be the program running.

Kewl, got file. Just need my order now! Apparently you can use remotes other than the one the receiver came with. Might be useful to know if there weren't enough buttons on the stock remote to suit you (or if it gets lost/broken).

BobA: I used to live in Edmonton about 14 years ago. Lived there for almost a year. Was too damn cold for me! I'm spoiled by the weather here in the Okanagan...   :)
