#1
i have reported this earlier in ir remotes section, but i think more info is required to achieve some followups

here is a log from my xbmc running with remote functioning xbmc rev Rev22076

http://pastebin.com/m3cd1f6fb

and here is log from upgraded with gl rev Rev23658

http://pastebin.com/m54fca4f7

iv also tested remote functionality with Rev23329 with same results

/edit
may be related to keybord input malfunction described recently??

ill install and test when i can to test the theory

My wife prefers to use the original XBox remote but all the recent builds fail to work with the IRXbox utility. Anybody find a solution to this yet or has a trac been opened yet? Still using Rev21755.

i think the problem may be that the method of communication irbox relies on to control xbmc has somehow been altered?

you will notice that the tooltips now show xbmc not running at all when both apps are in fact running.

i have installed eventghost and the test *.xml, and it works with no brain power kinda well.

if, like me , you are accustomed to xbox functionality, then you will need to spend i little time to perfect all of the "in movie" functions. like cursor up to skip 10 mins etc.

but overall, i suspect this method may be more future proof.

(copy text and save as XBMC.xml, copy file to \program files\EventGhost\ and open in EventGhost)
File -> open -> XBMC.xml

ps: this xbmc.xml does have basic commands only,and im trying to understand how to add more functions to recreate the xbox functionality ,unless someone would share their xbmc.xml.

ok heres the drill....

basically when you open eventghost, you will see a right side panel, and in that you will see a folder called "xbmc"

basically what i did was disable button actions for "UP","DOWN","6","9",and "Display". then you just map the keyboard equivalents into the button actions.

you need to enable the keyboard emulation from upper right panel menu i think??

then you basically drag and drop the "UP" etc and place them into their respective remote button folders in right panel

if you get stuck i can make screen grabs for you buddy.

its quiet strange that xbmc.up command doesnt perform the function required, but it defo does not at this stage. for now key emulation works great.

i now have suspend button on remote...cool
