how to control a DVD menu with girder ?

[knut]

Hi,
I am faszinatined of the many oportunities Girder gives me and I made a few Programms already run, eg. Multidec, Winamp Shutdown....
but there is still a problem with a prog called xmediaplayer.
It is the software wich was delivered with my Sigma x-Card and could play back Mpeg2, Divx clips. To programm the program window isn't pretty difficult (many thanx to the great developers of the programm and its plugs!!)
but how can I get Girder remote the menues at the beginning of a DVD ?
(e.g. language selection or scenes....)
Is there already a plugin I can use?
Another question I have: I'm having more 5 programstarts on the remotecontrol programmed. Every prog has its own button (surprise surprise), but sometimes I forget which Button was which program.
So is there a plugin, which gives me the Oppurtunity to select via an OnScreenDisplay which kind of program I want to start?
Thank you for your attention, I hope you could give me some tipps or links or what ever :)
Knut
P.s: sorry for my bad english.

I am trying to use Girder with the remote that came with my Xcard, but I haven't been able to make it work. The receiver looks suspiciously like the Packard Bell receiver, so I tried the Igor-plugin. This activates the receiver so that it flashes red when I use the remote, but Girder does receive the signal (LED stays green). I would appreciate any suggestions on meking this remote work with Girder.

Hey,
I also use the xmedia remote control but with the packard bell receiver (the originall receiver don't works with igor (if you want to use the receiver with girder get the hollywood plug that one worked with the receiver, why do I not use the included receiver? good question, no idea but I think I would try it again, cause with the packard bell receiver the remote control works very uncomfortable. (you can't get the buttons for up down working only one time, evry time I touch the button, Girder interprets it like a lot of commands.
Hope I could helped you.
Post If you had sucess or more trouble ;)

I tried the Hollywood plugin (ctinfra), but the receiver did not work. Is this the correct plugin?

If you want to slowdown the commands for up/down, try adding an Antirepeat wait time of 100 or 200 ms to those commands.

Yes it is.
Have you changed the setting in in the plugin menu to Hollywood+ (I think that worked with my remote)
Another thing: Which OS do you use ? There is another posting in this forum, whrere a person had the exactly same prob under WinXP.

Yes, I'm using XP. I got the plugin to work by checking the "Remove zeros" box and moving the slider to slow. After I exit the settings menu, the Girder receives the remote signal. Then I can go back into the settings menu and reset the slider to "default".

Thanks for your help,
