Uninstall of VMware Player breaks Remote Control - Fix?

Hi all,
I've had VMware Player 2.5 installed on some of my workstations, and we've recently (thanks to ZAV) been able to remove it. Unfortunately, the uninstall of VMware Player 2.5 breaks the ability to remote control the workstation. I see the service running, but it no longer responds to either the Zenworks Control Center or the TightVNC viewer on any port.
I've tried turning the firewall off, still broken
I've tried ZAC CC and ZAC REF on the workstations, still broken.
I've tried extracting and manually rerunning the Remote Management MSIs on the Agent...
Remote Policy shows good, no outward errors
Anyone know of a what might be causing this issue? Only way I can fix it is to go to the machine, uninstall and reinstall the Zenworks Agent... ugh...
Thanks,
Merrell

DVD remote controls work differently on a Mac?

I created an SD DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4, and when I tested it on a standard TV DVD player, the remote controls work just as they should. But, when I play it on a Mac computer using a remote, it doesn't work the same. For example, if I have a video track following a slideshow, when I'm on the last slide I can press PLAY and the video will play. But on a Mac, pressing PLAY is taking me back to the Menu page.
Can someone please help me figure out if there's a way I can fix this? Thank you!

Have you tried looking around the DVD Studio support area?

Trying to set markers to skip thru DVD with remote control?

CS5. I'd like to know how to skip through a lengthy DVD with the player's remote control. I tried setting markers, first unnumbered then numbered, and it didn't work with the DVD when I played it on the VCR. I remember with PPRO 2.0 when this technique would work. You could even automatically set markers every so many minutes.

If you Exported as a 100% DVD-compliant MPEG-2 DVD, you should not need a Re-transcode.
If you did Export to MPEG-2 DVD, remember that it will be GOP (Group of Pictures) and that Chapter Markers can only go on I-Frames, so if you cannot get the En Chapter Marker where you drop it, just find the next I-Frame on either side of where you are trying to place it.

How can I fix the remote control order of the chapters?

I am using the new 6.0 theme of Reflection Black--submenu Chapters. THis gives you two rows of chapters (which shows the looping movies and title of the chapter). I am importing the .mov slideshows in the order I want them accessed with the remote control of the TV (or DVD Player remote), but this is not the case. Instead, when clicking the right arrow on the remote control, the next chapter is not the one laid down in order, but another chapter. (From the first chapter, it skips to the second row, then back to first row, then back to second row.) Basically, the remote does not forward to the next chapter in the order they were imported.
Can anyone help? I have been told by Applecare that the map icons cannot be reordered. But starting a new iDVD project and importing in order does not work. I tried other themes and the ones with lists work and can even reorganize the order for you if you drag and change the position of the chapter!
Thanks

There seems to be some order in some themes, but this particular one has no order. Hoping also to hear of a solution. Applecare said to reinstall iDVD if I can't fix the problem with creating a new project, but I don't think this is the issue, since other themes work.

DVD Remote Control buttons don't work when using regular DVD player

I created a DVD using DVD Studio Pro (version 3.0.2) and am unable to navigate through any menus or buttons using the DVD players remote control. I can press the play button on the actual DVD player and play the movie. How can I fix this issue? Any suggestions would be helpful!
I never changed the default setting on the file I made and the DVD works just fine in the simulator as well as any computer DVD player. Also, is there a way to make sure the DVD will play on all DVD players even if it doesn't read burned DVDs?
Thanks for the help!

Not sure if I can add anything here - you're in good hands! I'd like to know how you constructed the menus - did you use photoshop layers for the background and overlay, or did you use a pict file? Are these motion menus or static?
About the compatibility - a burned disc will only ever be about 85% compatible with the number of DVD players out there, and if a DVD player states that it cannot read from DVD-R or DVD+R discs then it most likely won't play your disc. The only way to approach full compatibility is to have the disc replicated, but the cost of this usually means it is not worth while for anything less than 500 to 1000 discs at a time. If you are using DVD±R then all you can do is take steps to make sure the disc is as compatible as it can be, such as keeping the MPEG encode less than 7.5MBPS, using AC3 audio, not applying paper labels and so on.
Compatibility is getting better in general, this summer I have burned in excess of 90 individual projects on DVD-R (and duplicated each one up to seven times each) for playback on consumer players and only one came back (so far). When I looked at it there was a chunk missing from the surface of the disc, which probably explained the error!

BUG - client-side iPad keyboard in MRD 8.1.5 is mis-mapped for remote VMware Player console on Windows 8.1 Pro

Client system: iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.1
Client language/locale: US English
Client app: MRD 8.1.5
Server system: 64-bit Windows 8.1 Pro
Server language/locale: US English
Problem: client-side keyboard in MRD 8.1.5 does not work properly within VMware Player 6 console only
When interacting with VMs through the VMware Player 6 console app on the remote Windows 8.1 host, the client-side iPad keyboard for MRD 8.1.5 is not properly mapped. Letter keys and the top-row number keys send function keys or non-standard key scan codes
that aren't used by traditional PC keyboards. The spacebar sends the D key, and some keys send nothing at all. Many other keys work properly, including the client-side numeric keypad, and uppercase letters sent by using the Shift key (but not the iPad up-arrow
shift key). The only way to send the proper keystrokes to VMware Player from MRD 8.1.5 is to not use the client-side iPad keyboard and instead switch to the on-screen keyboard provided by the remote Windows server.
This problem only occurs within the VMware Player console app, and only with RDP connections that use the MRD 8.1.5 client on iOS. I do not encounter the problem with other iOS RD clients such as iFreeRDP by Thinstuff or Pocket Cloud Remote Desktop by Wyse.
Steps to reproduce:
Connect to Windows 8.1 Pro system from the MRD 8.1.5 client for iOS 8.1.1
Using the client-side iPad keyboard within MRD 8.1.5, bring up the Run dialog by typing Windows-R
Launch Notepad by typing notepad.exe in the Run dialog and pressing Enter on the client-side iPad keyboard
Type some sample text in Notepad until you're confident that the client-side iPad keyboard is functioning properly
Launch VMware Player 6 and start up a VM (mine was Windows Server 2008)
Open the sign-on prompt in the VM by sending Ctrl-Alt-Ins from the client-side keyboard or by pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Del icon in VMware Player
Touch or click in the password field in the VM to ensure it has keyboard focus
Using the client-side keyboard, try to type letters or numbers in the password field, and notice that dots generally do not appear for most keypresses
Switch to the server-side on-screen keyboard and delete the contents of the password field if it is not already empty
Use the server-side on-screen keyboard to sign on to the VM
Inside the VM, open Notepad or some other text editor
Enter text into the editor from both the client-side and server-side keyboards to verify that only the server-side keyboard is functioning properly within the VM
This issue is the only problem I'm having with MRD for iOS, and I hope it is resolved soon.
Thanks,
Fred

How do I get the remote control app to work for a Sony HDD Hi Res audio player?

Can't get the iPhone remote control app to work for my HDD Hi Res Audio player. The app can "find" the player and I can turn on the power with the app but then can't get it to go to my music - can only use the "demo" tool with the demo info. What am I doing wrong?

Good day cb94!
I'd like to see if I can assist you with the Hi-Res Audio player. Please provide us the model, use this link to verify the model: http://esupport.sony.com/ Thank you! - Paul

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

Replacement remote control will not control DVR player

My "S10" remote failed after 2 or 3 years. I ordered a replacement from the Uverse store. It seems that the new remote control doesn't have all the features of the older design. Speciffically, it is not equipped to handle a DVD player. It is irresponsible to replace an item with one which has fewer features. I need a replacement for my broken "S10" control. This new one can only be described as a DEFECTIVE DESIGN as it eliminates a needed key feature.

Do you have more than one TV? Use the s-20 for the simple TV & move the s-10 to the one with the DVD player.
Many people have posted that they have found s-10 remotes at the local thrift store or on e-bay.
Here is another alternative - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=RCRP05BR

Audigy 2 ZS Remote control (RM-1500) and DVD-player. (Need he

I've got Audigy 2 ZS platinum with remote RM-500, but software included in package allows to play only DVD-audio. Creative recomend to install InterVideo DVD 5 to play video DVD with Creative Audio-DVD program.
I've got InterVideo DVD 6 Platinum, but it doesn't controlled by RM-500 (there is no problems with my logitech Cordless keyboard with media buttons). As I found out there is differens in buttons menu: Creative use Enter for play, Spase bar for Pause, ect., but standart windows programs use Ctr+P and Ctr+Shift+P.
Does Creative have patch that solve this problem. To have remote that cann't contol DVD player (exept Audio DVD) is useless stuff.

Skeleton,
Have you added the DVD player software to the external applications listing under the remote control tab in MediaSource settings. The controls on the remote are mapped to the keys as defined by Microsoft. If the program is compliant to this then it should work.

CDP C325 CD Player - using a remote control to turn

Will a universal remote control turn this device on and off? The original remote that came with from Sony did not have this function on it. Does that mean the device, itself, cannot or will not respond to an on/off command from a different remote control unit -- a Sony brand or another, e.g., Logitech?

RMD325 is the supplied remote control for the CDPC325 Compact Disc Player but it has been discontinued at our Parts and Accessories website. However, you can check with the listed Sony Authorized Part distributors below to see if they have the remote control available:
Andrews Electronics Inc.
661-257-7700
www.andrewselectronics.com
Encompass Parts Distribution
800-638-3328
www.encompassparts.com
Fox International
440-725-7150
www.fox-international.com
We can not suggest any other one particular remote other than the model that was supplied with your player. But, generally remote controls from other Sony CD player will control the CDPC325 . We can not guarantee 100% full control, but normally the basics (power, volume and input) can be controlled.
Also, you may try to use a universal remote control but please take note that the manufacturer codes provided for programming a remote control to operate a component (e.g., RMD325 may not work or may not work properly for several reasons. The most common reason is that the component being programmed to is newer than the remote control (or the other way around) and the remote control has not been tested for functionality with the component.

Remote control does not work with DVD player.

I have a HP Pavilion DV6135nr, the remote control came with the computer, its a RC6. I can not get the computer to recognize the remote control.

Have you tried if this remote works with any other HP notebook? if not, have you replaced the battery on the remote to check its not a battery issue on the remote?
Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

MSI Fail error when trying to unininstall VMWare Player 7.

I downloaded the trial version of VMWare Workstation 11. When I do the install it tries to uninstall VMWare Player 7. The uninstall fails with the cryptic error message 'MSI Fail.'
I've found various articles about this around the web and even tried a few 'solutions' to no avail. Is there a sure fire way to uninstall the Player so I can try the Workstation?

I already found the link you posted and followed it but the player is still on my system so VMW still wants to uninstall it and I get the msi fail error. I also tried the manual removal and that didn't work. In fact I wound up breaking some non vmware stuff. Thank heaven for disk images.
Also, the article mentions the file VMware_Install_Cleaner.zip but I can't seem to find it. Is this something that might work to clear up the problem? Too bad I can't just reinstall the player but there is no option for that. I tried a repair but that was a no go too. Also tried deleting files from my Temp folder which some folks claim worked for them.
Also ran the MSI fixit program from MS and while it said it fixed some things about the Player I still couldn't install VMW.

SCCM remote control keeps dropping out when another network adaptor loses connection

Hey guys,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me out
at work, we are running SCCM 2012, and I use SCCM 2012 config manager to manage the clients etc
We have a particularly annoying issue with SCCM remote control; it constantly drops out when a network connection on the client machine disconnects or changes state, even if its not interface I'm remote controlling through
Here's an example for you:
a laptop with a wired, and wireless connection:
I remote control the machine through the wired network address (lets say 192.168.0.1), but if the wireless connection drops out (someone turns it off or it breaks) the remote control client will kick me off, lock the screen, and I have to wait 20-30 seconds
before it will accept my connection again
This happens with any network adaptor that's installed on the client
Here is a copy of the logs re-creating this issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nu4w28d44xky3rg/CmRcService.log
(I've edited it to take out usernames and IP addresses as they are publicly accessible)
So my question, does any one know how to fix this issue? I see it uses WMI, is there anyway to get WMI to ignore an interface?
Thanks heaps,
Harry

This is going to be done by design for security reasons. If the network connect for whatever reason is down the pc will automatically be locked.
