Can you help me what i should change in the registry so the green MCE button would work? (<x mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, x, 3)</x>)
And again, thank you so much for your help, its been very usefull!
Aha!
If the green button is sending control-shift-X then your remote must be Microsoft compatible and you have run the Remote-XBMC.reg file. A quick way to confirm this is to use ShowKey to see what happens when you press Play and Stop buttons. These should show "<p>etc" and "<x>etc" respectively. This is good news because it means you'll be able to get the four keys working.
But first, that green button. The green button is sending ctrl-shift-X so you need to configure ctrl-shift-X to be the shortcut key for the XBMC icon in the Start menu. This is easy. Click the Start button then Programs then XBMC, then right click the XBMC icon and choose Properties from the bottom of the shortcut menu. You should get the config dialog for the icon, and one of the fields is labelled "Shortcut key" and by default shows "None". Click in this field, so it shows a flashing cursor, then press the green button on your remote. The field should now contain "CTRL + SHIFT + X". Click OK and it's done.
Test by pressing ctrl shift X on the keyboard and XBMC should start. Assuming this works try the green button on the remote and XBMC will start.
NB if XBMC is minimised then the green button will restore it, but only for recent builds of XBMC as there was a bug in the 9.11 release that stopped this working. My custom build of 9.11 on xbmcmce.sourceforge.net has the bug fixed, as do recent development builds like 28256.
OK, now for those other keys. In mceremote.zip is a config file called CreateTestConfig.reg. This config is no use for running XBMC, but it allows you to identify the coloured buttons because it assigns a unique keystroke to each of the 256 possible buttons an MCE remote could have.
So run CreateTestConfig.reg and reboot. Now run ShowKey, press the buttons you want to identify and copy and paste the XML that ShowKey produces. Post the results here. Once you've done this run Remote-XBMC.reg and reboot, and XBMC will be working again.
