    TROUBLESHOOTING

How do I know whether my Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit?

Launch Windows File Explorer and right-click This PC. Select Properties… The information displayed will indicate the specification of your system.


I installed my StreamZap remote control according to the instructions but it is not working.  

Look for the StreamZap Remote icon in the system tray area of the Windows taskbar:

 

If it is red  the remote control is installed and functional. Check that you are pointing it towards the receiver. Are the batteries running low? Is the receiver is within range (25m with a direct line and fresh batteries). Are there any other sources of infrared interference?

If it is grey the remote control software is installed but the IR receiver is not detected. If it is connected to a USB port the likelihood is that drivers are not correctly installed - try connecting the receiver to a different USB port. If still not working, disconnect the receiver and reinstall the driver according to the instructions above. 

If the icon is not present in the taskbar: Sometimes, the Streamzap software does not automatically start after installation. Restart the computer or manually activate /program files/Streamzap/Remote/zremote.exe.
 

The Dartfish Remote icon is red, I checked everything above but the remote is not working

  1. In Dartfish software, click the Tools menu > Customize… > StreamZap tab
  2. Click the Reset All button. Now test a StreamZap button - does the command mapping section show that the correct command was received?
