Glad it worked out for you.... I got tired of screwing with all of the delays.
If anyone else wants to test it with out completely disabling the ehtray.exe
just kill it in the task manager, disable eventghost mappings for up,down.left,right,center and then run XBMC

Same goes for keyboard directions.
I'm sure I played with this before and found it problematic if want to control MCE. I need to test again and see what the issue was.

I dont think you will be able to use both vista media center and XBMC with this method

To use both MCE and XBMC, I leave ehtray alone and leave HID enabled and then you only have to map some buttons in eventghost to use with XBMC. There are only four buttons that can't be mapped since they are exclusive to MCE.

Just out of curiosity, why do you use both? Not that there's anything wrong with it!

Live TV and DVR functionality in MCE is easy to use and works great.

One odd issue in the latest Jonib XBMC:Repeat plugin (and I'm not sure it's a plugin issue).
I've remapped by up/down keys (all in the remote section) to be emulated keystrokes instead of the actual plugin command. This speeds up scrolling in file lists signficantly as discussed earlier.
ie. for up I have
MceRemote.Up
Emulate Keystrok:{Up}
Autorepeat Current macro:0.5
The odd part is that now up/down in the on screen keyboard won't work. Up/down works everywhere else. Not sure now if it worked with the original plugin or not.
I wonder if there is a mapping missing or it's an xbmc issue. I'll ask on the XBMC forum as well.
This doesn't affect me much since I rarely use the keyboard anyway (and I have an IR keyboard). It's just wierd.
Thanks
Byron

I'm not sure on this, but I think this could be a known issue with his plugin. I know he's been seeing issues with the direction keys, so has suggested mapping them to dpadup, dpadright etc etc. Not sure if this same issue affects you or not. Prob worth having a read through the thread on the EventGhost forum...
I'm still having problems with the reliability of my setup. Everything works sweet for most of the time, but occasionally I'll resume my machine and something plays up, like some of the buttons wont work...it's driving me mad

you might have to set navigatevirtualkeyboard to true in advancedsettings.xml:

EDIT: Works perfectly now. Thanks.
