'Course, it could be because I'm still running the Windows 7 Release Candidate (never actually purchased the retail release LOL).

I think the issue is probably that the translation in the registry is incorrect so I'm going to do some poking around there.

I'm just honestly surprised how well XBMC runs on my ancient PC (Dell P4, 2.0 Ghz). I think this thing is about 6 years old!

As we know the "Mediagate GP-IR02BK" known to be a good MCE remote, I know couple of people used it with no issues at all!

Are you using the usb receiver that came with you remote or something else?

Have you checked what drivers your receiver uses in Windows 7? Does it use the eHome Driver? I have a picture posted about this a couple of posts back please check it out.

EDIT: what config.reg did you use v1.24 or v1.25?
If you used v1.25 please try v1.24 and let me know if it makes any difference!



Cheers,
EG.

xm41907 Wrote:Elite, yes I'm using the original receiver. It worked great under xp/EventGhost. It is using the Ehome driver. That's what I had to uninstall and reinstall to get working again after merging v1.25. I'll try v1.24 tonight. One thing I notice late last night was that the default registry entries look nothing at all like entries in v1.25. There are no key entries at all. I'm wondering if my remote uses a different scheme than the common one and keeps the key entries somewhere else. I'll try v1.24 tonight and report back. Also, I'll post the default registry entry for your info.

It doesn't really matter as I just won a Logitech Harmony 650 on Ebay for $35. I can live with the half functioning remote for a few more days.

elitegamer360 Wrote:I've asked you to try v1.24 because its been downloaded over 5000 times and no one reported issues.

elitegamer360 Wrote:Now in Eventghost you might have "Disable HID Service" checked, you need to enable it again by unchecking this option!

xm41907 Wrote:Gotcha. I'll give ya the details later tonight.



I did see that in your instructions but forgot to see if it was checked or not. I wouldn't think that's my specific problem as it either works with default settings or not at all (windows wide, not just xbmc) depending on if the reg files are merged or not.

xm41907 Wrote:I installed v1.24 and everything seems to be working now. I guess there is something in v1.25 that gives some setups problems. I looked for the HID setting in Eventghost and couldn't find it. I ended up just uninstalling it since the reg changes are working now. Thanks for the help!

elitegamer360 Wrote:I think its more to do with your systems and not the reg configs!

xm41907 Wrote:I wouldn't doubt it. With all the differences in remotes as well as other hardware, there's bound to be incompatibility issues with just about anything. I'll give 1.25 a try tonight. Thanks for all the work you've put into the registry method. I'd much rather change a registry entry than use another ram wasting piece of software to do the same thing.

drgregharris Wrote:How can I start another program from the MCE remote. I'd like to use the Recorded TV button on the MCE remote to start Hulu desktop. This would be similar to starting XBMC from the green button. This would not occur from within XBMC, but from the computer desktop. I tried using eventghost just to map that ONE button, but then it screwed up my XBMC control.

Thanks in advance.
