Here's something interesting and i am not sure what is causing this effect since i just bought my remote a day ago or so. I had just finished setting up all my events and a duplicate set using all keyboard events (til events create sounds in xbmc), and today i go to use it, and nothing worked.
I thought my BT remote either needed to be synced again or the batteries ran out (since i forgot to push and hold the PS button logo.) And then i noticed after chossing the plugin device again (switching to another in HD stack, then back to my Sony BT device.) it was displaying the codes again, but noticing the following-
for IE- the play button USED to be the following code-
HID.0100000032FFFFFFFFFF0105
and today it is showing-
HID.0100000032FFFFFFFFFF0104 (<---was 5)
so i went into each control and redid each button and after about the 38-39th one, i noticed it switched AGAIN and now shows up as
HID.0100000032FFFFFFFFFF0103. (WTH
)
Is this normal behavior for it to change a recognized hex key (or whatever it actually is) to another? I know with my USB UIRT device and ANY remote and Girder, whatever it shows for that key, it will NEVER change and will always register as that long string. So i am wonder if this is correct for it to be changing like this?
My plugin HID settings are the following (only ones that seemed to actually work right.)
[] Use raw data as event name is checked, everything else is unchecked and blank.
I tried putting it into sleep mode (pushing the PS logo button for 6 seconds), then pushing buttons again to bring it out, and so far it's been staying the same with 3 at the end. But i am wondering why it was originally with a 5 at the end of each button press, then changed IN THE MIDDLE to a 4, then again to a 3 at the end, so i can change things so this won't happy again. Or is it still just because EventGhost is WIP? If that, i can live with using 'PS3 Remote Application' for now since it was working fine after testing, but just uses keyboard controls instead of events, which is fine.
