Regarding the control UP and Down buttons, do you mean the Navigation "Up and Down" buttons correct? Not the Channel "Up and down" buttons!

If thats the case then yes you can map them to control the Volume in XBMC as well if you want. so you will have Volume "UP and Down" Control the volume in Windows and Navigation "Up and Down" Control the volume in XBMC.

Again Edit "Config.v1.25.reg" and look for:-

Code:

1e,00,00,00,04,00,52,\ ; [Up]
  1f,00,00,00,04,00,51,\ ; [Down]

and replace it with the script below

Code:

1e,00,00,00,04,00,43,\ ; [Up]            - Sends "F10"
  1f,00,00,00,04,00,42,\ ; [Down]          - Sends "F9"

Save, Exit, double click to apply and then Restart :-)

Cheers,
EG.

A local store has the GP-IR01BK.

Also i bought a USB IR adapter from http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10308&cs_id=1030801&p_id=255&seq=1&format=2

will this work with the remote control that came with the xbox 360?

Under Human Interface Devices i have the HID compliant device and no ehome, under keyboards i have no ehome and under universal serial bus i have no ehome,

I have a remote control installer coming over tomorrow to program the MX-450 to control my HTPC and other stuff, but he said i needed a MCE remote control to get the codes from. Will the above work ok?

dm2010 Wrote:do you think my installer can use the remote control that came with the 360 to get the codes for the new remote control?

Quote:In environments where a lot of IR noise is present, a single press of a button on the Media Center remote can often be misinterpreted as multiple presses (a condition known as “bounce”).

A common technique to circumvent this problem is to have the remote actually transmit different IR codes on alternating presses of the same button. (And, in fact, the Media Center remote has behaved this way since it was first released) With alternating codes, the driver can distinguish whether the button was actually pressed once or twice, simply by comparing whether two codes received sequentially are the same or different. This technique is called “debouncing.”

When you train a learning remote to learn the codes of your Media Center remote, you’re typically teaching it only one of the two alternating codes that each button can transmit. So, the learning remote dutifully plays back the same code every time. The driver, running with debounce mode turned on, will ignore multiple presses of the same button on your learning remote, because they look like bounces.

You can easily turn off debouncing mode in the latest version of MCE 2004. Even if this critical update is applied. I have an HP MCE 2004 machine applied this patch and had this exact problem. All you need to do is update the following two reg keys.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da]
"EnableDebounce"=dword:00000000


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57db]
"EnableDebounce"=dword:00000000

Make sure they are both set to 0 and reboot the machine. Your universal remote should work fine!

M3Rocket Wrote:Ran into a problem when trying to train and use a universal remote. All the trained remotes would only execute single key-presses. Multiple key presses of the same button resulted in only a single one registering.

I did a lot of experiments on the remotes trying to solve the problem. I nearly gave up till I found people having problems with this exact thing, and the solution was simply disabling the "debounce" feature in the registry. I came acoross the solution in the Windows Experts Community forums:



After turning off this problematic debounce "feature," all my universal learning remotes started working. And the original non-learning remote continued to work.

I'm wondering if EG shouldn't just include this registry tweak in the installation moving forward? I'm sure it will save a lot of people some grieve.

elitegamer360 Wrote:M3Rocket, I have not included "Debounce" in my setup files and its ENABLED by default in Windows. It has nothing to do with my setup because all I do is remap the remote buttons and thats all. All the files are available on my site and you can download Config v1.25.reg and check it yourself. you want a proof, then go to the setup installation folder on your PC %AppData%\Xbmccustomregis\ and look for "Registry_Backup.reg" which is created by reading your own registry settings and then saving them here. Look in the fifth line you will see "Debounce" is det to "00000001" which means enabled.

If you asked me about this I could've told you how to fix it without you having to spend hours looking for a fix. Well I did not care about this because it does not effect MCE RC6 remotes which my setup is specificly for! Anyways I'll think about adding a fix in my setup that could disable this from happening in the future.

LupinSansei Wrote:I had to reinstall Windows and now when I try to download the setup file from your site it doesn't down and either gives me a dead link or error :/ Is there anyway you could send it to me via Megaupload or something? I still however have my original reg file that I edited days ago so I can use that after I install the setup.
