[WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way

hi there,

been using xbmc for a bit now and loving it. last thing i need to do on this pc is add support for my rc6 remote. anyone know if this will work with a usb-uirt receiver?

thanks

This is AMAZING!!!
I have been messing around with different approaches for weeks trying to get my MCE remote to work how I want, and this just worked 'out of the box' so to speak.

One thing I could use a little help with is switching the sound device when XBMC is run. I have a dual monitor setup and have my tv hooked up as the third monitor. I use Ultramon to switch the displays when XBMC is run and back when it exits via a custom shortcut, and I have a separate sound device going to the tv. I had already been using AHK to try to accomplish my goals before I came across this, so this is what i have so far for the script modification:

This bit is all that I've modified, and it works perfectly. What I need help with is how/where to alter the script so it switch the sound device back when XBMC exits/ is not running.
P.s. I have XBMC set to exit automatically since I often fall asleep with it on.

Hello all.

I've a small problem with my remote i can't explain.
I just want to configure the "LiveTV" button to mapp "Alt+Enter" for full screen on MPC-HC, but it doesn't work, on ShowKey, when i press it, nothing happend. If i configure another button (like Teletext) to mapp "Alt+Enter", it works.

It is a HP HDX Remote (buyed on eBay.com), i don't understand why i can't map "LiveTV", or it is broken on the remote (LED is flashing on receiver when i press it). Maybe a fake keycode?

I've added "25,00,00,00,04,04,28" in the registry to mapp it, am i wrong?

I'm on Windows 7 32bits Ultimate, using XMBC 10.1 and MPC-HC (Media Player and MCE uninstalled) with Default eHome configuration (i just added Play/Pause and Green Button to registry).

Anyone tried this with windows 8?

I just gave this a try ( using the manual installation method), and it works wonderfully on one of the unlisted remotes...
Rosewill RRC-126 Windows 7 Certified Media Center Infrared Remote Control with Netflix Function
Newegg.com: Rosewill RRC-126 Windows 7 Certified Media Center

The only problem i can see is that the Red/green/yellow/blue subfunctions don't exactly work on this remote, but that is a minor issue. Also, for some reason there is no bind to the radio button... would it be possible to map that to say Media/Codec Information ( same as pressing the 'O' key on the keyboard. )

hi all,

I have a strange problem with my HP MCE remote.
It worked fantastic when connected to my desktop PC but yesterday I installed my HTPC (both are running Win7 SP1) and put XBMC on it.
Everything is fine so far and the remote is working apart of key repeat (e.g. when holding "down" on the remote).
I spent 5 hours now to compare everything and searching the web but nothing helpful so far.
I wonder if anyone has a hint?
BTW. I tested as well with my notebook which doesn't work as well. Only on the desktop PC the key repeat is working.

I have installed this method on mij htpc (asus s1-at5nm10e with windows 7 x64 and xbmc 11 ) and it works great (with the internal IR receiver). But after a while it stops responding on the remote (sometimes after 5 and sometimes after 20 minutes or more).

I have installed XBMCCustomregis Setup v1.2.18

I can't figure out the problem. I use a harmony 300i set as windows media center SE remote.

When I reboot the system everything works great again.

Anyone an Idea?

Just got a Dell HF569 remote working with this, so easy to do, just wanted to say thanks!

Has anybody tested this with a Harmony one remote + Flirc?
