I have an ATI remote wonder... the problem is that the ATIRW is really buggy under new OSes, and XBMC & Boxee are the only apps that seem to support the default Remote Wonder logic - which would be great if every other app (including Vista itself) didn't bungle handling the thing in one way or another.
So I started using RW Key Factory/Key Master, which is a keyboard emulator set for the Remote Wonder that completely replaces the old logic. And it works fantastically well for everything except Boxee.
I can't navigate XBMC because the arrow keys don't register. I've set up the arrows on my Remote Wonder to emulate the keyboard arrow keys and they aren't working with XBMC- other keyboard emulation works fine (backspace and escape work find for exiting the current page) but no go with the arrows.
Same problem occurs for me in Boxee... I assume this is a common source issue... and the Boxee forums were absolutely zero help (I'm starting to suspect that the Boxee folks have abandoned the software side until their Boxee box takes off). Oddly, every other app I try works fine.
Is this a known issue?
Is there some built-in remote support within XBMC that could be conflicting with my remote's keyboard-emulation?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
