Maybe I am missing the boat here on Girder/NR.

[camel]

Ok, so far so good. In the last two evenings I have figured out that CCF's control the interface for NR and they can be edited with ProntoProEdit 4 (I never owned a Pronto, so I was not familiar with the format of the file.) I also got Girder installed on my XP Pro workstation that will be the "myHTPC" box. I used the default skin on NR, with it's "Hello Girder" button to create an eventstring that "clicks" the start menu, so I believe that everything is functioning properly up to this point.

Here is my question concerning Girder/NR:

I opened the default CCF in ProntoEdit and looked at the "Hello Girder" button for some more knowledge of how to set up other buttons that will function with the Girder infrastructure. The button seemed to have an IR code associated with it.

Is my assumption correct when I think that NR translates distinct IR codes into TCPip commands using the Girder driver?

In order to make a new Girder compatible button, is there a specific range of IR codes or a specific format that I need to use?

Can anyone supply me with a CCF for "myHTTPC" that is set up to issue Girder commands? (I know that I still have to do the server side stuff to program the commands, I just need the examples.)

Thanks in advance for reading this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also new to this stuff, but here is what I know. (btw. you can find most of it in the tutorial here)

The IR Code yoy see in the Hello Girder Button (5001 0000 0000 0002 ffff 0003 0001 0000 ) is the IR Code you need to put in any button you want to send an "Internet Event" to Girder, then whatever is the name of the IR Event will be transmited to Girder as an Internet Event. so whatever Girder command has that Internet Event as its trigger will get executed.

Now the fun stuff is sending feedback back to NetRemote from Girder, thats what I'm trying to figure out but still can't get it to work, at least with .982

Hope that helps

Sorry:

The code you need to put in your Buttons is 5001 0000 0000 0002 ffff 0000 0001 0000

I asumed that wwas the cde in Hello, but it is not.

Look at the Support sectina and there at the NR Guide, that will get you going

Could you send me a sample gml and matching ccf that i could work from? Maybe I can figure out the feedback thing once i get up to speed.

And a link to the tutorial would be cool. I hate to ask too much, but i feel like i did when i logged on to my first computer years ago having no clue what to do next....

Have a look at the front page of this site, you'll find a download area with my old CCF, it has ZoomPlayer stuff and should be quite easy to understand. And Gavin's ZoomPlayer CCF is a lot more advanced, with all the feedback stuff in place. The tutorial is also on the front page, I believe.
