Vista Media Center and Power DVD 9 with Firefly Remote

[eastbayarb]

I just set up my HTPC. I was having problems getting my Firefly Remote to properly control Blu-Ray/DVD from with in Vista Media Center. I installed PowerDVD 9 Version 9.0.1501.0 and now Vista Media Center has an entry for launching PowerDVD/Blu-Ray. I worked all night to finally get the Firefly Remote to work, so here is an xml.

It now works awesome, and with this xml and the same style setup I have, you don't have to suffer through trying to get it to work. When I want to play a Blu-Ray or DVD movie, I launch PowerDVD 9 from within Vista Media Center (which starts up with Windows Vista upon bootup). The Exit button on the Firefly remote works as the eject button. To exit out of PowerDVD9, you press the Firefly button. Button A is for a popup window that lists other options like going to the menu, etc, and Button B is for the subtitle menu. All the Firefly button assignments work for Blu-Ray and DVD.

ENJOY!

Hello,

Thanks for posting this great .xml file! I'm a little new to playing with these files and had a couple questions. Since you are clearly an expert, I was hoping you wouldn't mind helping me out a bit. My questions:

1) Is there a way to make the Firefly button on the Firefly remote boot Windows Media Center rather than Beyond Media Basic?

2) What button functions as the "back" button in Media Center?

3) Is there a way to pause / fast forward / rewind live TV in Media Center?

Thanks,

Sam

Thanks eastbayarb for the file, I made some changes to the titles so that it would detect cyberlink powerdvd 9 on my pc correctly. So I thought I would share. The first file is used if you open PowerDVD directly, the other file with the (2) at the end of the name, is used when you open PowerDVD from WMC. Hope this helps someone. Simply add the xml files to the "Profile" folder in firefly.
