Hi,
I have just one problem with the Xbox Remote on my Windows Vista System, that while holding the button down/up for scrolling in a list, that the scrolling stocks after 3 steps and start again.
And that some button press are interpreted as a double press.
I thought long time this is maybe due to the Windows driver V028 of the remote, eventghost or something, but i tried the exact same configuration on an other system and its working really fine like original on a xbox with fast scrolling.
This system is Win7 and than i tried it on an other Win7 system but there it is again like on the Vista System.
It seems that it is not a problem of xbmc but maybe its a problem of the way the data is given to xbmc by eventghost?
I couldn´t find a rule for it and tried many things with eventghost and comparing this 2 systems, but no luck so far. Maybe some USB Port problem?
Maybe someone has a idea where the problem is coming from?
Thats the last step missing at my system, a good working xbox remote, so help would be fine, thanks

Hi. Sorry if this has been answered before(I've seen it asked but never clearly answered)...
My standard tv remote has different modes for different devices. I want to use one for xbmc (which is running on my windows desktop). Can someone please provide a link to the cheapest kind of ir remote I can buy to do this please, just to give an example, assuming it's actually possible. I know I'd need to use Event ghost etc, but I've looked on eBay and google and on here and just can't find a cheap ir receiver that will def work. There are lots of cheap ones on eBay that say they are for data transfer between computers but I'm not sure if I could use them, so I'd love a link to a cheap example.
As an aside, I actually already have the xbox360 ir receiver from Scene It but I have found no info about any drivers to make that work. I prob also have the old xbox ir receiver but my soldering isn't up to much and I can't find a cable to convert it to USB (all cables seem to be other way round to make USB devices work on an old xbox) so I really just want a cheap USB ir receiver that will def work, and I'd rather not pay more for one that comes with a remote that I don't want.
Thanks guys. Hope that makes sense.

@ OhBugger,
have you tried the "Back" button? usually works for me in PMIII skin, i would assume is similar for other skins.
if its not available for you, then maybe you will need to map it with your driver/software(external to XBMC). i do it with eventghost myself
regards,

Of course, I use eventghost which will control specific XBMC controls regardless of focus.
Although you won't be able to multitask with XBMC open (unless its in windowed mode), as it automatically
minimizes when you click out of it.
