What does ShowKey show when you press the green button? If you check all the non-working buttons with ShowKey and post the results here I'll have a look.
Incidentally I've updated my mceremote.zip. You might want to grab the most recent copy and try the .reg and keyboard.xml files from it.

I tried putting in the line of code you gave me, and I did not get a notification.

If it helps i notice that keys that do not require 'ctrl shift' work just fine. They also show up in showkey without a mod tag.
Example:
The play button on my remote shows up as <p>Notification(Key, p, 3)</p>
But the windows button shows up as <x mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, x, 3)</x>

Run XBMC, turn on debug logging (settingfs, system, debugging), then press the green button three times, then turn debug logging off again. Post the xbmc.log on pastebin.com (don't post it here, it will be too big) and post the link here and I'll have a look.

Aha, if you look at line 172 in the log you'll find:
21:57:08 T:2204 M:4294967295 ERROR: Error loading keymap: special://profile/keymaps/keyboard.xml, Line 14
Error reading Attributes.
so there's an error in your keyboard.xml at line 14.
Is your keyboard.xml the same as you posted in comment 45 of this thread? If so there are some obvious errors e.g.
<p mod=Notification(Key, p, 3)>play</p>
I assume you probably meant:
<p mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, p, 3)>play</p>
I strongly recommend you download the latest version of mceremote.zip and use the keyboard.xml supplied in it as that maps actions to all the known MCE keystrokes. There's even a batch file you can double click to automatically copy the keyboard.xml to the correct place. Run the MSRemote.reg and reboot before trying XBMC to make sure the remote config matches the keyboard.xml.

Hi All,
I have an Asrock IOn 330 HT BD, I installed Windows 7 Ultimate and XBMC Dharma.
Then I used mceremote.zip solution to use the asrock remote (mce compatible device) with all its buttons. After registry modification I used the keymap.xml to map the buttons as I want.
The only problem left is the inability to use the onscreen xbmc virtual keyboard. I can't move around virtual buttons with my remote.
Can someone help me to solve this problem? thanks in advance
Riccardo
P.S.
with XBMCLive the remote works fine, the virutal keyboard is used.

I think you go to Settings, System, Input devices and enable "Remote control sends keyboard presses".

I've a small problem.
I've installed Windows 7x64 and xbmc on my brand new Asrock Core 100-HTBD.
I downloaded the reg file and copied the keyboard.xml in the directory. I then double clicked the reg and rebooted, result?
The remote doesn't works anymore.
Can someone help me out a little please?
