My JP1 Remote Mini How-to
JP1
I really didn't like the remote that came with the Hauppauge cards, so I created my own “upgrade code” for my One For All remote (URC-8011). It in essence allows me to add a “factory code” to any JP1able remote to control my equipment with any button of my choosing. If you are familiar with JP1 and IR.exe, here isRemoteMaster file.
I created a JP1 cable by:
- Using an old IDE cable and creating a 6 pin jp1 cable following these directions.
- Then I followed these directions for the actual interface.

The Hauppauge IR receiver appears to be hardware limited to receive only RC-5 type codes, so I used their irremote.ini file to find the OBCs for the new Hauppauge 45 button remote. They are (copied from the .ini file):
- [HCWPVR2]
- 0=0
- 1=1
- 2=2
- 3=3
- 4=4
- 5=5
- 6=6
- 7=7
- 8=8
- 9=9
- 46=GREEN
- 56=YELLOW
- 11=RED
- 41=BLUE
- 13=MENU
- 15=MUTE
- 16=VOLUP
- 17=VOLDOWN
- 32=CHNLUP
- 33=CHNLDOWN
- 61=GRNPOWER
- 31=BACK
- 37=OK
- 59=GO
- 55=REC
- 54=STOP
- 48=PAUSE
- 53=PLAY
- 50=REWIND
- 52=FASTFWD
- 30=SKIPFWD
- 36=SKIPREV
- 12=RADIO
- 28=TV
- 24=VIDEOS
- 25=MUSIC
- 26=PICTURES
- 27=GUIDE
- 22=NAVLEFT
- 23=NAVRIGHT
- 20=NAVUP
- 21=NAVDOWN
- 10=TEXT
- 14=SUBCC
- 18=CHNLPREV
I then downloaded the java program RemoteMaster from http://controlremote.sourceforge.net/ . I knew from the ini that the device code was 30, then used the OBC listed above in the remote master program, mapped the keys to where I wanted, which produced this upgrade code.
I then used the ir.exe program to “upload” my new upgrade code to my remote using my JP1 cable. That's it! I now can control MythTV using any JP1 capable remote, with this lircd.conf file and this lircrc.
