No offense, but the tutorials are not rubbish. There is quite a bit of information available on the forums that make it very easy to set up eventghost with XBMC. It took me all of 10 minutes I think.

Calling the information that is freely given by others "rubbish" is not typically the best way to get help in places like this.

Just my 2 cents....

I had some trouble figuring out eventghost also

I found it worked way better to map each remote button to a keyboard command (new action)

The only buttons that I ended up mapping to keypresses were the directional keys. Everything else mapped directly through EventGhost to XBMC's EventServer.

If there is something in particular you need help with, feel free to ask.

remote control is very poorly solved in xbmc.
Whatever, i use intelliremote and no need for this eventghost.
Just find a xbmc xml config file for your remote Modell, search the forum for it, and
load it into intelliremote.
That is how i got my remote working in 4 minutes.
Just do it.

How exactly is it poorly solved?

You can use EventGhost to map your remote keys to direct actions within XBMC via the EventServer, or you can use the software of your choice to map the remote keys to key presses that are set in the keymap.xml file.

Why spend money on intelliremote (not that I have anything against it) when there are multiple free options available that work perfectly well?

How to use EventGhost:

1) download and install the latest version here:
http://www.eventghost.org/downloads/
(look at the dates)

2) Click on the "add plugin" button. Select XBMC. (it's included in the latest SVN)

3) Click "add plugin" again. Select the plugin for the type of remote you are using. If there isn't one yet, search the EventGhost fourms (http://www.eventghost.org/forums)

4) with EventGhost open, click a button on your remote that you want to use to control XBMC. The button press will appear in the EG log (the left-hand pane) Drag the "button" to the action you want it to do in XBMC in the right pane under "XBMC".

5) repeat for each button you want to control something in XBMC.

6) you may also want to add an action to "autorepeat current macro" for button presses such as the up, down, left, and right arrows and the ffwd and rewind buttons. That way, when you hold down the right arrow, it scrolls through your movie list. (click the event under XBMC that you want repeated, click "add action" -> eventghost -> "autorepeat current macro". Do this for each button you want repeated when you hold down the remote control button)

You can also set EventGhost to start with your computer, and set it to start XBMC when it starts, if you want. Do this by clicking on "Autostart" in EventGhost and clicking "Add action".
pick "system -> start application".

You don't need '-p' if you're using one of the later XBMC builds as that now indicates 'portable'.
