And just to clearify.. I am talking about ThirdParty products, not a substitute for the B&O tool :) 

GREAT idea and solution!

Oh, and welcome to the Beoworld Forum! 🙂


What should the PRO-Version cost?
Will it work with an iPaq 3950 or 3970, too? They do have an infrared port, too.

will the XML-file keep the button layout on the screen, too after importing into the config tool?

When I learn/copy remotes with the Lintronic Box and generate an xml-file for importing into the config tool it's just one mess of buttons which need to be sorted (which is no problem).

Looks like a fantastic solution to the beo5, with this I might even get round to setting up the remote instead of using it as a paper weight

Sorry about the mutiple posts.... I guess my browser just messed it all up :)

And why does the Reply button just create a new Message instead of actually replying ? 

Yes, the button layout is offcourse the same when importing into the B&O config tool :) Unless you create the XML file from the iPad for a Beo5 remote and then import it into the B&O config tool as a Beo6.

The screen sizes is different, and that could cause some of the buttons to jump around a bit. But if you connect your Beo5 to the config tool so it knows it's a Beo5, and generate the XML for Beo5 and then import the XML file, all buttons are as configured in the iPad.

Regarding your Ipaq, take a look at the "RemoteControl II" site to see if your Ipaq works with the software, I would think so.

The Pro version will cost 12.99 Euro's or 11.99 US dollars or 89 Danish Kroner.

I have been a member of this Forum for many years, have just had a break, have been thinking about this solution the last 4-5 years, but I didn't get around to it before now :)

Thanks.... The biggest issue is to get as many products as possible into the shared Database, I will upload all the products I have helped users with in the nearest future..

Hi Weebyx,

for me it's a really great Idea and looks really simple to program the XML File. I'm wondering, if Your App will be available in german store too...  and would like buy the Pro version unless it doesn't cost hundreds of euros. 🙂

As far as I can see, this RC II App works with lots of Pocket WIN devices, so it's not necessary to get/have an Ipaq 2210. So the Database could be filled with a huge number of devices, to be controlled by BEO5, in a short time.

My next question is, do I need a certain BEO5 Config Tool version to upload the configuration to the device, or will it work with the versions of beo5 Config Tool which supports the 3rd party configurations?  (I suppose greater than v. 4.x )

Another idea could be to fill the Color, Arrow, Play, Stop and Back buttons automatically with the appropriate commads.

Hope to see Your app soon in App-Store. 🙂

The Pro version is very cheap :) only 12.99 Euro. I don't think this App should cost hundreds of Euro's, although I have spent a loooot of time making it, it should be for the "common user".

The App will be available in all available AppStores in the world, and you are correct regarding the config tool :)

Your idea about the HardKeys are great, but..... The whole idea with this App is to "mix" products into a configuration like "Watch TV" as I use in my webpage as an example. And then it is difficult for the App to know which Play command from the combination of the tv/amplifier/setup box is used.

Remember that it is possible to have a "TV Setup" page under the "Watch TV", and this "TV Setup" page should different commands for the HardKeys.

But I will take it into consideration :)
