Not pairable under windows 10

[PsxMicha]

Hey! I can't pair my remote on windows 10.

When windows detects it, windows asks for a pin. there's absolutely no way, no option to skip this!

on windows 7 it works fine.

Is someone still working on this and has a fix for it?

Pairing the bluetooth device in windows 10 is a little bit tricky since the default way asks for a pin which is mandatory.

These instructions are required:

1. Right click Bluetooth icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen and select "add to personal area network" (if there is no icon you can activate it in Bluetooth settings, on the right site s.th. like "advanced Bluetooth options"
2. On the top-left corner of the screen, click "add a new bluetooth device"
3. Hold the pairing button of the IR receiver
4. Wait until "BD remote control" appears, select it and click Next
5. Leave the PIN text box blank, and click Next
6. Wait until device has been set up

thx! I will give it a try :)

Is someone still working on this project? I am missing a few features (different profiles for different software, autostart with windows).

unfortunately my C# skills are like 0

[PsxMicha]

Hmm doesn't seem to work for me. PS3 Remote is paired now, but the PS3BluMote doesn't detect it on Windows 10

Actually I am also not familar with C# and I don't maintain this project. so there is probably no development anymore.

What is the vendor ID and product ID of your device? Maybe you have to set these in settings dialog.

It can be seen in Windows Device Manager but the bytes are in different order:

Vendor (in german): 0x1234

Product (in german): 0x4321

In my case I have set ProductID: 0x4321 VendorID: 0x1234

see updated comment above

thx :) you helped me with the screenshots, unfortunately it still doesn't work on win 10.

But the software just refuses to detect the Remote.. Weird. It works fine on Win 7 (where I have my Kodi Setup, but I wanna update to Win 10 soon)

PS: Grüße aus Düsseldorf und danke für die Hilfe :)

Strange. I run Windows 10 and it works like a charme. Also for Kodi, of course.

[PsxMicha]

maybe I made a mistake compiling the softwre (the download link is down).

I compiled for the first time. Would you mind sending me your version?

[PsxMicha]

Can't extract it. Archive is corrupt :-\

edit: nevermind, found it here:

https://www.psx-place.com/resources/ps3blumote-2-03.1178/

now the Logo is blue, but it still doesn't work :D

Weird, weird, weird

[Heckie75]

Stupid FTP. Give me a second

[PsxMicha]

Finally it works on win 10 <3 you're my hero :) thx a lot

[Heckie75]

Ok, I'm going to remove the zip archive from the server.

[Heckie75]

BTW: What have you done in order to compile the code? What tools are required?

[PsxMicha]

Can't tell you what tools are required really. I just downloaded Visual Studio 2022 and checked everything that hat C# in the discription :) then i cloned the code from here and started the compiler

[Heckie75]

Ok, thanks. I hoped that there is a way without installing Visual Studio.
