Intelliremote 2.0

Intelliremote is a software program that gives you complete remote control of your Home Theater PC infrared or radio frequency remote and unlocks its true potential. HTPC makers have an excellent idea bundling an IR or RF remote control with their product...it's just too bad the software included doesn't do everything you want your remote to do!

The purpose of this program is simple: to remove any need for any custom software to control your remote, and implement and extend the full functionality of your HTPC remote in a memory efficient manner. Have you ever wanted a remote button to do one function in one application and a completely different function in another application? Now you can! Many flavors of HTPC remote are supported so please check the supported remotes section to see if the remote you own is supported.

Have you tried Girder, HIP, or any of the other remote applications and gotten frustrated with how complicated they were to setup and use? Intelliremote take the approach of “keep it simple and stupid” to make using and customizing your remote as easy and painless as possible. Intelliremote aims to provide an experience similar to owning Apple hardware, Sony TVs and luxury German cars; things just work, they feel right and every now and again you get that "oh, it does that too? awesome!" feeling.

Intelliremote is roughly 900K in size, and it packs the punch of Microsoft's Intellitype instructions. So any application can be controlled with your remote that "listens" for Intellitype messages such as ITunes, Winamp, MediaPortal, SesamTV, Foobar2000, BSPlayer, VLC, GOM Player, GBPVR, Media Player Classic, Zoomplayer, and many more! Each remote key can be assigned to an instruction, a mouse event, application event, or even a windows automation script.

Intelliremote is Shareware available for a 24$ purchase. A few key codes are crippled but the product is fully usable and functional without them until your trial period expires. You can receive the full uncrippled version by using Paypal to purchase. By supporting Melloware, you help fund the development (mainly development tools / internet access etc) of Melloware's Software. To send money, simply click on the PayPal icon.
