[WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows XP with IR Server Suite

GaMeR64 · 2008-09-28 22:46

I also installed all this and it works great.

The only problem is that my remote now doesn`t function anymore in Windows Media Center 2005 itself. It seems all the controls are completely mapped to XBMC. I already tried unchecking the "Disable all Media Center functions" and then reboot but that doesn`t solve it. Is there a workaround for this?

Until DVB recording stuff gets integrated in XBMC i need Windows Media Center too for recording tv programs so use WMC and XBMC.

enable system keys and reboot and uninstall or stop IRSS

Quote:PART 1
Install drivers for windows XP
Make sure that no explanation marks are present in the device driver window
test the remote under windows XP, and check if the mute and volume buttons work under windows XP.

Explain part one properly, how do you install the drivers when the folder contains a lot of folders with random names. Also where can i find the drivers for Windows Vista?

the playbutton does work only it adds files to the Queue.

play a file press OK
Queue a file press Play

if you want different keymappings change the mapping

Thanks, it works.
For the ones who like to know:

open it, it's in the system directory of xbmc. You see a line with

Code:

<play>Queue</play>

replace it with

Code:

<play>Play</play>

Is there some way to start up XBMC when you press the Windows button on the remote?
