Re register on startup - ali2k1 - 2010-11-01 12:54

Hi I've followed your tutorial and been using for two months now without problem.recently I added xbox wireless controller for windows to my htpc and now everytime I'm having to reinstall registry on startup for the xbmc remote to work. Is the wireless receiver for the controller interfering in any way as I don't know where to start fixing this.

Thanks

At one point I found a tiny little application to remap the buttons, but now I am unable to find it again.

So with the information detailed in the guide I put together a little application to do this.

The application requires .NET Framework 2.0 or later and can be downloaded from:
http://mce-remote-mapper.googlecode.com/files/MceRemoteMapper.exe

The project is hosted at Google code.
http://mce-remote-mapper.googlecode.com

I hope you find this application useful if you ever need to reconfigure your buttons.

Best regards,
Oskar

Try to uninstall the XBOX Wireless controller then restart. Apply your reg settings Restart then see what happens after restarting for a third time.

If your MCE remote setup does not change then yes its your XBOX wireless controller driver software that is interfering with your remotes setup.

Hi guys,

First and foremost thanks Elitegamer360 for all the excellent info in this thread.Big Grin

I'm a xbmc noob looking for some help with getting my remote working. I brought the remote mentioned in the first post from Maplins today, but I think my version might be slightly different. Basically my remote looks exactly he same but has a half crescent moon button instead of a power button.
I've also recently installed xbmc ver 9.12. But when I open up xbmc and press S, I do not get the shutdown menu. I know the menu works because if I press the power icon from within xbmc the menu appears.

My aim is to link my half crescent moon button to the shutdown menu. I've ran showkey and the following is displayed when I press this button:

PHP Code:
<m>Notification(Keym3)</m

I've followed all steps in the original post to setup my remote.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks
Dave

Hi guys,

Problem solvedSmile
