Hi Man,
I've connect the original steering whell command of my car whit an IR interface to the CarPC, setup WinLIRC and Girder, and run RR, this work well, the job is little, only vol+/- track +/- and paly/pause, vol and track work fine in mp3 (audio) section, but when I press play button RR play but don't accept any IR command.... I must stop music manually, return in main menu and all work, press IR play and this stop to work, no IR volume change or other.
In Radio section all works fine, I've try to install old version of RR (Fist April) but nothing change.

Help ME....

Bye

My guess is that you have something wrong with the "PLAY" command in girder.. my BEST guess is that you have an extra " (Quote) lingering around on a command (like "PLAY"" -- double quotes) ... if the command is correct, then make sure that Girder is setup to send the commands to the active window of RR.EXE ... If you don't do this, girder will send the commands to whatever is active on the screen and it may not be RR.. I would also suggest trying the same commands/sequence on a different screen of RR (like the main menu).. if the problem doesn't happen there without changing any setting, then it is possible this is because of a bug with focus I fixed recently -- no released fix yet...

Hi Guino,
thanks for reply, in the RR.gml there isn't a way to set the active window, some month later I've try to command RR via a remote and all is ok, now I have this problem, I've tested Radio and TV for change channel and volume and this work, but not to play, Instead if I press play in main menu the sound starts and RR stop responding IR command.

Hi,
If this can help you to understand my problem I've try this: In Video Player (MPC programm) The IR works only when the plaing is off or in pause, when play RR don't "hear" the Girder command.
