If you used the mapping file from the post I linked to your red button will be sending the keypress ctrl-alt-1 so you need to add a mapping for this. Grab KeyMapEdit from http://xbmcmce.sourceforge.net/. Run KeyMapEdit, select "detect keypress" from the KeymapMenu and press the red button and you should see the add key dialog. Set the action to "ContextMenu" then close KeyMapEdit and save the changes.

Hi all,

I just bought a Nano AD10. I am not able to use the onboard CIR receiver as the driver is not installing on my Windows 7 SP1 64 bit. I am using the dongle that came with the box, and everything is working on XBMC except the color keys and the info key.

After importing the reg file that is posted on this thread, I tried to use showkey.exe to see what is being sent, but when I press the colored keys or the i key, nothing happens, it is like I didnt press any buttons.

Do you guys have any idea how to work around that using the "dongle" that comes with the AD10?

XBMC rocks and I just want to have most used features like info and subtitle menu on the remote control, that would be perfect.

Regards,
Johnny

The .reg file only works if the receiver is using the eHome driver. See http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Usi...in_Windows for how to check this.

Hi jhsrennie, I knew my attempt to put the .reg file using the dongle was a long shot. The dongle is not eHome driver.

Any suggestions to do this without this driver?

I thought the AD10 receiver was an eHome device. Maybe the attempt to install the CIR driver has messed things up. You could try a from scratch reinstallation of Win7 and see if the IR receiver is correctly detected. I can't comment any further without an AD10 to test.

Yeah, the internal is not working for me... I think it is a driver issue. I can't get it to install.

Can someone that has the ad10 with the internal working send me a screenshot of the device manager with Human Interface Devices, Keyboards, and Mice and other pointing devices expanded?

I am trying to install the drivers manually but the inf files have several.

Mind posting how? I just picked this unit up, and can't get any response from the internal IR receiver, which is enabled in bios. I (think I) even managed to manually get the drivers installed, as I now have something that says "microsoft ehome" in driver manager which installed itself after I manually installed the ITECIR infrared receiver driver to the HID device that is located on PCI standard ISA bridge... But it still doesn't work, like at all. The USB extension works in that it responds to key presses, but then infinitely loops whatever I just hit. No combination of any of the various driver options has gotten the internal receiver working for me. I'm about to just cave and buy a separate remote here...

EDIT: And through the magic of, "as soon as you post something asking for help it'll just suddenly work," as soon as I posted this it just suddenly worked.
