View Full Version : Zoom/Aspect button on MCE remote

This is actually a composite of 2 problems.
I recently got the iMON receiver to use with my MCE remote and installed the software. There were 2 things missing though:
- When you press MUTE, it doesn't actually mute the volume, but instead slowly decreases it down to 0 (in the Windows shell). In MCE, however, it wouldn't even keep the volume at 0 but would immediately turn it back up.
- My MCE remote has an ASPECT button (the equivalent of going to More Info>Zoom in MCE), but the iMON manager doesn't have this button listed in the button drop-down to assign it (it's not already in the iMON MCE profile/settings).

I upgraded to the newest version of iMON after someone said that the newer version supports the Zoom button, but the newest version actually wouldn't sense the remote at all. So I decided to focus on fixing the MUTE issue by stepping back through previous iMON versions until I found that Ver.7.00.1112 Beta actually does the muting right.

So my issue now is that even though I found a version that gets MUTE to work properly, I still have no way of assigning an action to the ASPECT button. Is there a way to add the ASPECT button somehow to the list of possible buttons? Or is there a version of iMON that includes this new button *AND* handles MUTE correctly?

(If I can add the ASPECT button by just changing a file, that'd be ideal, since it took 4 versions to get the MUTE working)

I'm bumping this myself in hopes of getting an answer from an admin (or anyone who knows).

Dear elmerohueso
Mute problem on Vista and Windows7 when Media Center is running was fixed in iMON 7.62.0630 version. Please check it again with the latest version.

There is no Zoom/Aspect button in MCE remote manufactured by Microsoft.
But I check that MCE remote manufactured by HP has some additional buttons including Zoom/Aspect button.
and curently iMON doesn't process the signals of these buttons.
We’ll add this issue to our “To Do List” and update in the future release.
Please wait for a while.

Regards,
Johnny Hur

I would also like to be able to use the Zoom/Aspect-button in MCE. Another MCE function that doesnt seem to be supported with iMON is the Text-tv button. Would really appreciate if this could be fixed.

Sincerely,
Stefan
