Auto switching for remote?
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2006 8:38 am
Is it possible to have the remote switch to a different device button automatically??
For example on my Atlas 5 device remote I use the AUX device to navigate the Xlobby program on my PC using the arrow and enter buttons(which shows up on my TV thru the RGB input) .
(I use Xlobby to control my sony DVD changer).
After I select the movie thru Xlobby, it sends signals thru the USB UIRT to the Sony to start the movie and also switch the TV to the DVD input.
Now the problem is that the remote navigation keys are still controlling Xlobby and not the DVD player.
I have to manually press the DVD button on the remote to set the remote to DVD mode.
I know it's not that big a deal to press 1 button,but if I could have the remote somehow sense after a set amount of time,or however to do it for me,that would be great.
