XBMC remote volume buttons not working - mk92595 - 2013-08-30
Hello all,
I have bought this remote so I can use my logitech harmony 650 on XBMC.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00224ZDFY/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p23_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1EMVGG80Z68GK8815MFD&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846
Almost every button works but the volume buttons. The volume buttons only control the system. I'm on windows 8. I tried it on windows 7 on my laptop and that didnt work either.
How can I get the volume buttons working?
Edit: Also the EventGhost driver keeps failing installation.

Try enabling debug logging in XBMC, press the Volume +/- buttons several times each, exit XBMC and examine your debug log (wiki) to see how (or if) XBMC recognized those keypresses and what actions, if any, it took in response to those keypresses. If you want others here to review your debug log (wiki), then upload its contents to a public paste site such as www.xbmclogs.com and post the assigned URL here.

The +/- keys work fine when im using my keyboard. When I press the volume down on my remote, it lower's the PC's volume not XBMC's.

Then try what I suggested in the second paragraph of my reply above.

Looks like they're working as far as invoking the XBMC VolumeDown and VolumeUp actions:

Those were from the keyboard. Its getting late. Tomorrow I'll post a new log of me pressing the buttons off the remote.

There is no sign of a volume change

Unless you have something else to add, that is.

Just out of curiosity, for the tests above where the Volume -/+ buttons did not register, were you using the Harmony remote with the VRC-1100 (wiki) IR receiver or were you using the actual VRC-1100 (wiki) remote with it?
