[WINDOWS] HOW-TO control XBMC using EventGhost with the Microsoft MCE Remote

Any idea why EventGhost only seems to log when a new window is activated (or deactivated)? Nothing else gets logged. I'm running as administrator.

Thanx, it helped a lot

Do you have any other plugins installed/enabled?

Also, you should ask this on the EventGhost forums, not here.

Hello all I will post this question here too:
I have a Asrock remote (nuvoton w836x7HG CIR) HID

My goal is to stop the built-in response of XBMC to my mce remote and define all the functions myself with eventghost.

I accidentally discovered that if I use this reg file with one entry, it disables all the buttons but the button press events are still logged in EventGhost. This is exactly the behavior that I wanted. The reg file is this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da]
"ReportMappingTable"=hex:\
0c,00,00,00,03,82,00,\ ; Power - left at Windows default, use "04,04,3d" to send alt-F4

I also tried to use a reg file like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da]
"ReportMappingTable"=hex:\

I said maybe this will disable all the buttons, it did but the eventghost wasn't able to catch any events from the remote anymore. So for EventGhost to capture, it needed at least one key assigned, so I kept the power.

However this has caused one problem for me. All my keys now send an event to EventGhost except 0! The key 0 doesn't send anything! Any ideas?

I've followed all the instruction but all I obtain is to disable the remore both in windows and inside xbmc.

I'm using and Asrock System with Windows 7 and when I use EventGhost, it disable the remote.
Can you give me an hand on this, please?

It's not clear to whom you are talking. Did you follow my instructions or someone else's?

Sorry
I followed the instruction in the first page

So Now I can help. It was very difficult for me to configure mine. Asrock is not a normal MCE remote. Because EventGhost has no plugin for it, you should not Disable HID service for this remote.

If you do that, you can never use it in EventGhost. First make your remote work again in windows, then do my instructions. Just apply that reg file and all will be good. This took me several days to make it work. Then in Event Ghost you add HID plugin with two HIDs of asrock! One HID captures half the buttons and the other, the other half. There is a third that you should not use because it gives different events with each press!

I don't get how to do this in Event Ghost? I have the "Plugin: Keyboard" listed on the right-hand side, but I can't add anything to it. And in the Actions list, there's no option for adding a keyboard action.

I'm having a problem with video playlists in XBMC. Once I view the playlist, I can't exit it with the MCE remote. I have the Back button on the remote set up to go back/close windows, but it simply won't work on the playlist screen.

If I hit ESC on the keyboard, then I can finally get out of the playlist. The trick is trying to get my remote to do the same thing.

Hi guy's!

Tricky question, but I hope someone can help me.
I had Eventghost and MCE Remote running perfect with XBMC.
I had to reinstall Win7, and therefore i made a backup of my setup file.

When Win7 is installed I install Eventghost and loads my previously saved setup.
But no events are discovered from the remote.
I get events if i uncheck the "Disable HID Service..." but then the remote wants to control MCE.

Am I missing some basic setup? PLS help
