I can't seem to modify the keys and have them work. I enabled the "Book" key and assigned it to "G" for the guide. I then saved the file and reloaded the configuration. When I press the Book key, the guide does not come up. The red light on the remote blinks and the key mapping still appears in the configuration.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
ATI Remote for Slingbox - Accomplished
Categories: PC Computers / Laptops / Netbooks
Since many have asked how to control their Slingbox (player) using the ATI Remote Wonder, I have posted the files necessary to accomplish this. The plugin (and supporting files) can be found here.
Basic Instructions:
- Download zip file.
- Extract contents to ATI Remote's plugin directory.
- Open remote's plugin configuration.
- Click IMPORT. Select RWKeyFactory.dll.
- Press configure. On the RW Key Factory config page, press the "Load Configuration" button. Select the SlingMedia.rwc file.
- Click Ok twice, then test it out.
You can change the key mappings and resave the rwc file if you wish (using the executable file called RWKeyMaster.exe contained in that zip), but I programmed this using an ATI Remote Wonder remote. Basically what this does is allow you to map your remote's keys to the keyboard options the SlingPlayer understands.
Works flawlessly for me. Credit to Jan Klir for the GPL keyboard plugin which makes this possible. It also doesn't interfere with the other plugins (such as Power DVD, etc.).
Enjoy!

I just set this up and it works great. FourBeer, make sure in the configuration setting to click on the enable column for the book key and then select the check mark. Also, under the settings for G, make sure there are no modifiers selected like Control, alt, or shift.

I have an old Remote Wonder from an old computer (I built maybe 6 years ago) running on Windows XP that had an All-in-Wonder graphic card. My new computer is running Vista Ultimate 32 and has a 256MB ATI Radeon X1300PRO graphics card. I was wondering if it's possible to use this remote with this computer to control my Slingbox with this method and if so, what ATI software do I need to install? I went to their site and found Remote Wonder, RW II & RW+ software for XP and RW+ for Vista 32. I tried installing the Vista driver/Control Panel software but I don't see any directories for it. I do have some sort of Catalyst folder but nothing that has a folder for plugins. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I must be losing my mind. I installed everything correctly or so I think and the 1 key and 5 key work but when I hit "2" on the remote it selects "down" on the slingplayer. I looked and the keys are mapped correctly, what could be wrong?
