beo4 apple remote keymap

4 replies

hi,

i am looking for the keymapping between the beo4 and the apple remote via the puc. i would like to double check the eventual mapping of some keys.

i can not seem to find it anywhere. is there a list or a thread somewhere with this information ?  thanks !

hello,

i had totally forgotten about the archived forum.  Erm..

here is what i found :

up = up
down = down
left = left 
right = right
play = go or stop
menu = exit
hold play = hold go
hold = hold exit

other hold functions do not seem to be correctly implemented. please correct if i missed something.

Scott,

 

I have had a detailed look at the translation within the PUC file which was loaded into the PUC for the Apple Remote.

 

When you talk about HOLD I am assuming you actually mean REPEAT ?

 

The PUC only translates 7 commands as follows:-

 

·         Signal1=Plus

·         Signal2=Minus

·         Signal3=SkipLeft

·         Signal4=SkipRight

·         Signal5=Menu

·         Signal6=PlayPause

·         Signal7=Genius

 

The Associations of the above commands are:-

 

BeoButton1=play(go)                                    AlienButton1=PlayPause

BeoButton2=up                                                AlienButton2=Plus

BeoButton3=down                                         AlienButton3=Minus

BeoButton4=rewind                                       AlienButton4=SkipLeft

BeoButton5=wind                                           AlienButton5=SkipRight

BeoButton6=stop                                            AlienButton6=PlayPause

BeoButton7=exit                                             AlienButton7=Menu

BeoButton8=slow_backw                            Defined without any translation

BeoButton9=cont_rewind                           AlienButton9=SkipLeft

BeoButton10=cont_wind                             AlienButton10=SkipRight

BeoButton11=cont_up                                  AlienButton11=Plus

BeoButton12=cont_down                           AlienButton12=Minus

BeoButton13=slow_forw                             Defined without any translation

BeoButton14=7                                                Defined without any translation

BeoButton15=9                                                Defined without any translation

BeoButton16=continue                                 AlienButton16=PlayPause

BeoButton17=1                                                Defined without any translation

BeoButton18=sat(on)                                    AlienButton18=PlayPause

BeoButton19=standby                                  AlienButton19=Menu

BeoButton20=timeout                                  AlienButton20=PlayPause

BeoButton21=0                                                Defined without any translation

BeoButton22=sense_on                               Defined without any translation

BeoButton23=cursor_up                              AlienButton23=Plus

BeoButton24=cursor_dw                             AlienButton24=Minus

BeoButton25=cursor_left                            AlienButton25=SkipLeft

BeoButton26=cursor_right                          AlienButton26=SkipRight

BeoButton27=select                                       AlienButton27=PlayPause

BeoButton28=back                                         AlienButton28=Menu

BeoButton29=cont_curser_up                  AlienButton29=Plus

BeoButton30=cont_curser_dw                 AlienButton30=Minus

BeoButton31=cont_curser_left                 AlienButton31=SkipLeft

BeoButton32=cont_curser_right              AlienButton32=SkipRight

BeoButton33=cont_select                           AlienButton33=PlayPause

This is the actual translation done within the PUC

hi keith,

thanks for all the great info !

yes, hold is repeat. i am playing around with plex, so have been infected by their terminology. :)   does repeat work then ?  that would be great as it would open up more commands without going through menu.

if i understand your table, the beo4 key is read on the left and apple remote on the right. so exit, standby, and back would all correspond to menu. i do not see genius in the right column, does this mean it is not implemented ?

thanks again for your expertise,
