Question    Post: #11
Thanks for your interest, Sergbach.

I have the same configs that you (internal IR receiver and Windows 7 Ultimate x64).

I have already installed the Zotac's driver and all the buttons of remote response in ShowKey except: Info button, colour buttons, teletext and guide buttons.

I think that the problem is in configuration of XBMC because in Windows Media Center all buttons work fine but on XBMC the Info button and colour buttons don't work.

If I want that Red button shows me the context menu, do I have to configure it with Ctrl-d? (See the image):

You are welcome, damos.

Strange that the same configuration does not work as mine.

Before you go to assign commands to the buttons you need to get your RC "special" buttons generate keyboard outputs.
"Info" button should provide Ctrl-D, coloured ones Ctrl-Alt-1,2,3,4.

Important that after you change the registry you have to reboot to activate changes.

First I would suggest you to use CreateTestConfig.reg file to change the 745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57df key (don't forget to modify the key in the original reg file from add-on). After reboot, please use ShowKey tool to check that RC generates the output for all buttons.
If it does, you can use my reg file.
It will assign Ctrl-D for Info, and Ctrl-Alt-1,2,3,4 for coloured buttons .

In the XBMC the Ctrl-D combination will show the Info (you can check it just with the keyboard).
Ctrl-Alt-1,2,3,4 keys do nothing, but if you install MCERemote add-on then these combinations will show a small notification dialog at the bottom of the screen. This behaviour is configured in keyboard.xml.
If you want to assign other actions to these combinations you need to edit keyboard.xml. The KeyMapEdit tool (starts when you click Edit keyboard.xml in add-on) helps a lot here. The tool will show you the content of the keyboard.xml. You need to click on the line with the key combination (for example "ctrl-alt-one"), go to keymap->edit menu and select an action from the dropdown (for example contextmenu). After save and restart of the XBMC the Red button will be assigned to the Context menu.

What you did (in the picture) you just assigned other key combination to the red button. It makes here no sense (at least for my config) because it changes ReportMappingTable in the 745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da registry key and I need it in ...df

So, once more, you need to get the response from your RC in ShowKey tool for all special buttons before you go further.

I was following the steps but I don't understand this part:

Don't forget to modify the key in the original reg file from add-on

Which addon you refer?

I refer to MCERemote add-on.
The CreateTestConfig.reg is targetted by this add-on and you need to modify the registry key in that file.

Ok, now I get the response from my RC in ShowKey tool for all buttons, but I obtain these results:

Info button:
--------------
Key ID: 88 (0x58) - VK_X
<x mod="ctrl, alt> Notification (key,x,3)</x>

Red button:
--------------
Key ID: 66 (0x42) - VK_B
<b mod="ctrl, shift> Notification (key,b,3)</b>

Green button:
--------------
Key ID: 67 (0x43) - VK_C
<c mod="ctrl, shift> Notification (key,c,3)</c>

Yellow button:
--------------
Key ID: 68 (0x44) - VK_D
<d mod="ctrl, shift> Notification (key,d,3)</d>

Blue button:
--------------
Key ID: 69 (0x45) - VK_E
<e mod="ctrl, shift> Notification (key,e,3)</e>

Edit: Ok, I see how it works. I continue with next steps.

I am glad that I could help you.

Have you done something extra or just followed my steps?

I just recently bought zotac ad10 and Im trying to configure the remote. Reading the previous posts, I'm a bit confused.

Can someone offer a step by step instructions?

.reg link is dead as well.

Also how do you configure the windows button on the remote, so that I can open xbmc?

I, too, am a new owner of an AD10 and I'm new at configuring this stuff.

I am unable to get any RC-response from the color keys / info. I have modified CreateTestConfig.reg, substituting 745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da for 745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57df, applied it and rebooted. I don't understand why ShowKey20 still can't get any signal from those special keys.

Please help..
