Guess either no one uses this anymore or I'm the only one having this problem :/

"C:\Program Files\Kodi\Kodi.exe" to "R:\Kodi\Kodi.exe -p" which starts Kodi perfectly but the green button does nothing in Kodi.
Though if I use the ahk script on a normal program files installation it works just fine. Any ideas? Here is the edited script.
Edited AHK script
The #NoTrayIcon is so I can hide the icon in the tray.

You have to copy your keyboard.xml in R:\Kodi\system\keymaps
I copied my Kodi folder on a usb key (R letter) and it works.

Thanks rasmu but I'm not sure where to copy it at. The ramdisk I run Kodi off is actually R: as well.
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - rasmu - 2015-07-24
When you launch Kodi in portable mode, Kodi looks for your preferences only in the folder of the portable installation.
So if you launch "R:\Kodi\Kodi.exe -p", you need your keyboard.xml in R:\Kodi\system\keymaps
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - LupinSansei - 2015-07-25
Yeah, I figured that. Though still hitting the green button only opens Kodi for me still and doesn't do anything inside Kodi :/
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - rasmu - 2015-07-25
Do you have this line <f5 mod="ctrl,alt">ActivateWindow(Home)</f5>
in your R:\Kodi\system\keymaps\keyboard.xml ?
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - LupinSansei - 2015-07-27
Yeah, it's there. Here's my xml if you wanna look at it. I appreciate your help btw!
Keyboard Map
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - rasmu - 2015-07-27
I copied C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi on usb key (letter R) and took your ahk and your keyboard.xml : it works.
I mean I don't have a remote on this computer, I pressed ctrl+alt+win on my keyboard
Does ctrl+alt+win launch Kodi ?
Does ctrl+alt+F5 in Kodi go back to home screen ?
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - LupinSansei - 2015-07-27
ctrl+alt+win doesn't launch Kodi
ctrl+alt+F5 does take me back to the homescreen
Here is my ahk again
Greenbutton.ahk
It may be the same as the one I already uploaded. But this is the one I use.
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - rasmu - 2015-07-27
Sorry, it's ctrl+alt+enter and not ctrl+alt+win
Does ctrl+alt+enter launch Kodi ?
The new ahk works on my computer.
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - LupinSansei - 2015-07-27
Tried ctrl+alt+enter and it launches Kodi so not sure what is going on :/
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - rasmu - 2015-07-27
Ok so your keyboard.xml is read by Kodi, the problem is with ahk script.
Maybe you have the same bug I had few pages ago (which I don't have anymore, don't know why) :
Change send, ^!{VK74} ; if Kodi is Active (GSB Home Jump will activate)
by send, ^!{F5} ; if Kodi is Active (GSB Home Jump will activate)
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - LupinSansei - 2015-07-27
Tried that man still same thing. I guess I should go back to the normal program files installation. I don't know what else to try.
RE: [WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way - rasmu - 2015-07-27
Maybe try Launcher4Kodi

Thanks I appreciate it!
Though I've tried that before and couldn't figure it out lol. I think I'll just go back to the normal installation. Sorry for wasting your time on this :/
Was hoping the dev would've responded but haven't seen him around in forever. Even sent him a pm a while back.
