HTC audio Drivers
Downloading and installing this driver update will provide your HTC mobile device with the latest available optimised software for use with the following accessories:
YC A120 Y-Cable adaptor
RC W100 Remote Controller
RC E100 Remote Controller
[FONT="]http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3300.html
************************
later:
[/FONT] It soft resets after the update and takes up about 0.2-0.3 mb main memory. The update does show up in the add/remove programs list. Didn’t know I had a problem with my audio drivers…
Now Items like Y- Cabel are really working, without the internal speaker.
could it be the same as driver shipped with the W100 remote?
I'm going to try it. Hoping it *might* fix my problem described in my review of the remote:
http://www.expansys.com/review.aspx?i=145150
otherwise, don't bother.
I cant install this driver on Tinity WM6
Any idea?
it certainly looks like you can... http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3600.html. however, when i try to install it, my phone says the driver already exits...
Saw it on the HTC and have it downloaded just in case it disappears of the site because...
Where is the SD card fix gone ? (already have it but seems to be off the site/ well hidden)
This is the Wired Remote Control Driver
Just installed, it is indeed the driver that came with the W100 remote. BUT!!!
This fixes the stupid problem that the remote cannot be used/detected when the phone goes to power off! So if you don't have the W100 remote, you have no need for this really, the stock headset works just fine. Great, I don't need to refund my headset!

That's what my phone says too.
Any idea how to fix it?
Does the HTC W100 Remote work with TCPMP?
I have followed Humps and installed the TCPMP Player and it seems quite good, however when I press start on the remote, the system fires up Windows media and then I need to go into the library to get my moosic to play. Is there a way to map the remote to access TCPMP and start the music straight away?
I like the remote it means that the phone is in my jacket and when I get bored with a tune then just forward without having to unlock the device and scrabble with buttons..............
E100
Hi,
Is there someone wich know what is the RC E100 remote controller ?
If you mean; what is the HTC RC W100 remote control? then have a look at the HTC website. It is a wired remote control that you plug your normal 3.5mm headphone jack into and conrol the media player while the Orbit/Artemis/P3300 is in your pocket or bag.
It's this control here
...only for WMPLAYER
...went all the way, using WMPLAYER to be able to use BT Headphones and hating it!!! (why can't it have a simple 'file list' instead of all the lbrary stuff which you can't manage thru your WM5!)
With a 'Y adaptor' I went back to MortPlayer and love it!!!
And now I receive my w100 and..... it only works with WMPLAYER again (ok, unless you want to ignore the controls alltogether )
Any 'control' key you press opens a wmplayer (even if MortPlayer is already running). There must be a 'link' somewhere between the buttons and the function they perform.... just that I can't find it.
Someone have any idea?? (.......MORT, if you read this, save me from WMPLAYER please

Hi Fucawi, I have not found a way to get it going with TCPMP, not even with the audio driver update. The buttons on the remote does not appear to be a regular AppButton so TCPMP cannot assign functions against it. I've been trolling through registry and stuff and couldn't find any clues.
May be if we generate enough noises, HTC will release another audio driver update so we can assign functions to the buttons or let apps use those buttons.
Techies and software peeps - help!
Humps, I thought that this forum would be the best place to get this done as people on here have a wealth of knowledge about the registry et al. HTC would not issue another driver for a couple of wingers like you and I, or even if 20 people on this forum wanted it. It doesn't make commercial sense....
There has to be a way to change the default settings to map to TCPMP or Mort or PocketMusic as the remote calls up the WMPlayer application with a button press. Surely one of our esteemed moderators and long suffering techie fiddlers knows their way around these devices and can either give us direction or instructions on how to do this.
Let's have a first 'peep' at the drivers....
One of the files included is: HTCWMPPlug.dll
Literally, from the info on the file
'HTC WMP Plugin for Control WMP Commands'
and I understand WMP stands for 'Windows Media Player'
Seems like it's something more than just a registry entry
... just exploring ...

I think you're right. TCPMP can detect hardware buttons on most devices, be it an iPAQ or HTC phone. Those buttons are implemented as AppButtons (correct me here please) which programmes can access directly. Since the buttons on the remote are software driven, the only way other apps can use it is if the driver somehow creates virtual logical buttons that maps to the remote. Which is also why I doubt anyone here will be able to do much. The hardware is great, shame about the driver.
AE BUTTON PLUS has an option to define virtual buttons
I don't have a clue if that would work for what you want, but may be worth a go ?

Just tried, doesn't work. Like TCPMP, it can't detect the buttons. I don't programme WinCE devices, but in programming sense, think the OS gives you access to a list of buttons. E.g. calling System.getButtons() but those buttons on the remote don't appear in that method call and cannot be used by applications typically designed for the traditional buttons. Only HTC's driver can provide access.
I have to say, WMP is pretty useless as a player software. Limiting the playback buttons to it is like crippling your device to crap software. I couoldn't understand what HTC was thinking.
I'm also disappointed not to have seen this post before buying th W100 ...
I want to use it with PocketMusic , eh HTC ! wake up !!!

Could anyone give me an info on how to use the hermes as a remote control. I was able to use my amazing phone before as such, wanna do the same with hermes but the universal remote via bluetooth can't work in my unit..
Hope someone could help. thanks
There's a commercial app that is supposed to be really good. It's called VITO Remote II or something like that. Google it, there's a trial version I think.
my personal experiences with vito are not good
search for novii remote deluxe! very easy to setup an customizable
use novi remot
hi, novi remote works a treat, you can set up macro's, learn from other remotes ie xbox dvd control, set up a custom "remote" all good.
The bad...well distance is not real great, and novi needs to make your screen turn upside down as the ir port is on the bottom.
hope it helps
google it and you will be ok. or pm me
cheers

Hello
Is it possible to make and use (or does it exist?) some kind of midi controller program for blackstone?
for example I do some music in fruity Loops and it wouldbe awesome to have some dashboard on the devie to turn some FX on and off or change setting on fly...
Do you think that this is possible?
Thanks.
PS: What do you think of such an idea?
I dunno what's possible, but it sounds a mighty fine idea.
Kinda makes me hanker for a multi-touch screen.
You might be lucky
There is a midi controller called Theresa. It works over activesync (seems USB only, bluetooth did not work). I've dared to use it also while performing. Its here:

yep thats it
Hi Guys,
Just downloaded and installed ORB. Brilliant piece of software. Only problem being im not a techno whizz so im struggling a bit. Is the only way i can gain acces to my pc from my touch hd by using opera and opening up the orb site?
Thanks
Nichio
yes
You can ad to favorites www.mycast.orb.com
Then you don't have to type your password all the time.
It's indeed a great piece of software.
I'm streaming my satelite from home on it
Also music or movies(even vob files) he plays.
regards stef
Thanks Stef. I have already done that, just didnt know if any of the genius techies on here had came up with some kind of App if its possible.
Thanks Nichio
I am now looking into connecting my sky box to my. once i have done that would it be possible to stream that to my touch hd?
if it has an ethernet and it can stream ike my dreambox,then yes you can stream.
Open notpad and make an line with your sky box/drea,box ipadres like this 192.168.1.10/video.m3u and save it to anyname.mp4
The configure orb.
and add that mp4(video)file.
regards stef
Great Thanks.
I have another problem with orb now. i installed it and all was fine. How ever first time i tried to reboot my compter i am now missing a windows system config file. Anyway around this?
Nichio
I used Orb for a while but found it was caining my cpu randomly so had to remove it. I'm now using TVersity. The interface isn't as cool but when browsing from you mobile it's perfect cos you don't have to render loads of graphics etc. The only thing about TVersity is that you need to open ports on your router and use something like dyndns if you've not got a static wan ip.
What I liked the most was that you don't need to go through a third party website to access you stuff. I also use it to access music on my PC from my Wii.

I'm serching for a program to allow me to use the X1 as a remote control for the PC and I found this

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298717&highlight=remote+desktop+client
Google Gremote, and download the free version. It's pretty awesome. You just need to tweak the mousepad settings, then get used to how it works.

with your ps3 how much control do you have because i am wanting to have my x1 control my ps3. I am hoping there is a way to have a remote play function set up on my phone so you could control the ps3 and stream content over the web like a PSP.
Hi... i bought (test and return) 8 keyboards to test on my satv and liked none... then... with no hope... i bought this:
Aerb 2.4G Mini Wireless Keyboard Mouse Multifunctional W Infrared Remote Learning & [3-Gyro + 3-Gsensor] Air Control for Google Android Smart TV Box G Box IPTV HTPC Mini PC Windows iOS MAC Linux PS3 Xbox 360
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K768DHY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Thats is... thanx in advance and if you have the chance test this control...
I am interested in this too?
Have you learned any information about this yet? I just ordered the same remote, but the MX3 model with voice button/microphone.
I read there is a Kodi add-on called Keymap Editor, but I would like to know how to program other buttons for my TV and Nvidia Shield Android TV box.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
where do you the keymap file on kodi on the shield?

I dont know if this will help your situation but theres quite an extensive gui keymapper addon for kodi called keymap editor, pretty good when i tested it at the time, you can have the same key perform different functions depending on where you happen to be in kodi i.e. homescreen, addon, video playing etc etc

I have an almost identical remote (slightly different colours seems to be the only difference -- see here). It's fantastic once you sort the button issues out. The back key problem is that it's not recognised by any keymapping application, so do what I did, remap the menu key to back instead. I rarely use the menu key and I'm rooted and have LMT Launcher running with a pie menu button anyway so it's there on the rare occasion I do need it. But I use back all the time. I used this application to remap it and it works perfectly.
As for the Mediaplayer button, I'll look into it tonight.
does the voice button on the remote work for nvidia shield?
has anyone tried it?

Hey, I have the same remote as you. I'll give the remapping a shot when I get home today.
Curious, did you also have issues with the large select button in the middle of the remote? I can mouse all over the screen, but I can't actually select anything. Did you have to remap that too?
Thanks.
Hi guys! I wanted to point out that i made a comment on a post here on this remote:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/general/mouse-click-behavior-t3290739/page2
Unfortunately I just cannot figure out how to configure the mouse button, aside from messing with code in the kernel itself. But I noticed some of you are looking for a keylayout for the remote. I have the version with the microphone, not the internet explorer button. Im not sure if its the same but you can try reading my post and have a shot at it. good luck!

I have the version of this remote with the voice button. it works on the shield but the issue is that it doesnt work in the same way as the voice button on the remote/gamepad. you have to manually select the voice button on screen, then when the beep for voice, hold down the voice button on the remote and say what you need to say. the voice button essentially opens and closes the voice channel on the mic on the remote. I have not seen a way to tie this as an actual keycode, and i think the remote might not even register the button as a scancode either. so i dont think you can simpley press or hold the button to have it automatically open the voice bar on android tv.
