iMon remote doesn't work in many 3rd party apps.

[ellcon]

My remote doesn't work in quite a few 3rd party apps for Vista Media Center. Is there anyway to get iMon compatible with some of these programs?
Some 3rd and built in functionality that iMon doesn't work with:
My Movies
Netflix
Sports Channel
Media Browser

Any thoughts?

Dear ellcon,

There can be some 3rd party apps for Windows Media Center that have a problem with controlling with iMON. This problem comes from mis-checking the Foreground Window.
iMON Manager checks the foreground window when IR data coming, and compare the IR signal with the map table for the foreground window. When these kinds of 3rd party apps are running in Windows Media Center, Windows API for checking the foreground window returns the 3rd party app itself instead of Windows Media Center. Because of this reason, the keyboard shortcut for Window Media Center does not generated and this kind of problem occurs.

Anyway, we should find the way, these kind of 3rd party apps can be controlled by iMON. We'll add it to our To Do List.

If there're any other 3rd party apps, please let us know them in order to check with them all.

Scott// Please check these 3rd party apps for Windows Media Center and report which kind of problem occurs with them.


Thanks and best regards,

I have the same Problem when I start my 3rd party apps over iMEDIAN. For example:
When I start my external TV-app the Remote is sending all comands to iMEDIAN. In this configuration is is not possible to use the button "TV" in iMEDIAN.

Dear RomanticBoy83,

Do you mean that you could not control the external TV viewer, which is assigned in the iMEDIAN HD setting, by remote controller when it is launched in front of iMEDIAN HD by pressing the "TV" button on the remote?
If in this case, it's not the same problem on this thread. You might not setup the shortcut key for the external TV viewer. Please check the shortcuts are setup in iMEDIAN HD Settings > TV > External Viewer > Shortcut.

Thanks a lot,

sorry for my bad english!

I'm meaning, that I can't control my external TV-Viewer when iMEDIAN is running. My external TV-Viewer is the active Window but some Remotecommands will not send to the active Window(DVBViewer).

For example the "FullScreen" Key have no Funktion.

But when i use the App.Starter to start DVBViewer all Keys will work great.
