I asked Hauppauge Germany for a documentation but they didn't know about it. So I wrote a documentation myself.
Thanks to Normen Altiparmak who also tried to get a documentation.
Thanks also to Raimund Huber for his tips for {switch()} and {mode()}.
In this file you find that commands I know from. It is possible that this list is not complete and that there are errors.
This documentation is to be used with the IR software from mid 2001.
The IRREMOTE.INI contents of those paragraphs:
[Remote]
Global settings for the remote control such as repaet delay or beep.
| RepeatDelay | 0..? | default: 3 |
| Beep | 0/1 | if it is set to 1 you will hear an acoustic signal by pressing a key. Default: 0 |
| VolStepSize | 1..? | Doesn't work on my PC. Default: 3 |
| MenuLoad | 0/1 | if it is set to 1 the icon in the system-tray displays a quicklaunch list for the WinTV applications. Default: 1 (only 32bit-IR) |
|
ValidCode
ValidMask ShiftCount1 Mask1 ShiftCount2 Mask2 |
ValidCode=0x00C0
ValidMask=0x03DF ShiftCount1=10 Mask1=0x003F ShiftCount2=-2 Mask2=0x0080 |
I got this tip from Alex:
It is possible to teach the infrared receiver to accept other remotes. By changing ValidCode and ValidMask as below the receiver will accept nearly all remotes. It just has to use a standard RC5 code. Changes: ValidCode=0x0080 ValidMask=0x0080 |

| {add} | + on the num pad |
| {subtract} | - on the num pad |
| {decimal} | , on the num pad |
| {divide} | / on the num pad |
| {volume_mute} | main volume control mute |

| {vol} | parameter? | page fault |
| {mute} | parameter? | page fault |
| {LAUNCH_MEDIA_SELECT} | Launch current system registered CD player. By default it should be media player or something of Microsoft kind stuff, but if you install Winamp with default options, it'll register as default CD player and the following commands should not work. |

Usage of the key definitions
You define the keys like "key=definition". Every scheme has its own definitions Example:[indexen.htm]/[irctrlen.htm]/[irdocen.htm]
