I just got my BTV + Firefly bundle yesterday and am loving it so far. Like any geek, I dug right into creating profiles to control other apps and see what I can pull off with this remote. Here's a couple questions I've got:
1) Google Earth. Google Earth makes a FANTASTIC demo on your HTPC, and can be controlled with keyboard input (arrow keys). However, I believe the program is listening for actual key press events, and so the Firefly emulated keyboard input does nothing for the actual 3D widget. I can scroll through menus and stuff with up/down/left/right, but not control the globe view. Is there any better way to send key events than:
<Actions Button="Down" Description="Move Down">
<KeyAction Keys="{DOWN}" />
</Actions>
2) The number keys on the remote are also labeled like a phone (1, 2 :ABC, 3: DEF, 4: GHI, etc). Is there any way to code a profile so you can type with the remote? I have a Firefox profile set up with keys for the bookmarks menu, back, forward, zoom text in/out, etc. It would be very nice to have basic typing ability.
Thanks! This product is awesome so far.
