Just an update (not sure if you remember, quick recap, Green Button would not return to the main screen of XBMC). Well after installing an SSD in my media center I decided to completely rebuild it from scratch. Low and behold the Green Button script thingy works awesome now. Just need to make a couple of adjustments to my remote.

Cheers

It looks like in device manager that it is the ehome microsoft device driver running. i took a screen capture of that, and the installed software i am running but cannot post the images herefor you to see. regardless, i had allready been running the same version as above, but downloaded and ran your new one anyway.unfortunately i still have the same problem - the green button does not launch xbmc..but at least we now know it is the microsoft ehome driver fwiw.

No probs survey_sez

Btw it might seem a stupid question but I have to check, when you say the green button does not work, you mean the "Big Green Start button" right? If yes then did you install autohotkey? if yes is the Script is running? although when you restart your computer the GSB script automatically in the background. You can find it in the Windows task bar.

So is it just the green start button that does not work? Can you change all the other buttons or what is going on exactly? use showkey to find out if the remote buttons sends the right code. The problem with the zotac remote even though it might say an "ehome" driver but it does not use the Normal RC6 registry target "I know because you are not the first one to ask". I just want to know the above if possible please. If you can change what the buttons does then do not go any further I want to know which ones change.

If you can not change what the buttons do, then I have one more trick for you. I will post it here anyways, try this alternative registry file. Same applies. Unzip, double click on .reg file to apply, click yes then restart.

Cheers,
EG.

Do not worry mate, I want you to double check again that the drivers installed on your PC look like this if any are different, please post a picture so I can advise you properly without wasting time.



in the mean time I would advise you to reinstall xbmccustomregis, make sure you select the correct option for your windows system 32bit or 64bit, then after all is installed restart your PC so I know from where to start trouble shooting this. After you restart start showkey.exe point your remote to the IR receiver and press the "blue button" tell me if displays any thing against the "KeyID".

If does not display anything or displays anything other than "87 (0x57) - VK_W" , then download Zotac_MS_re-encoded3 unzip, double click to apply, select yes and restart. Then check again, point your remote to the IR receiver and press the "blue button" tell me if displays "87 (0x57) - VK_W" in the "KeyID" or not and will take it from there.

Cheers,
EG.

re-installed xbmccustomregis and showkey is blank

installed Zotac_MS_re-encoded3.zip and showkey is blank

Thanks for posting the picture, I think that your remote is an RC260. But anyways I have created 2 final reg files all configured to be XBMCCustomregis compatible as follows:

1- Try this one first just in case as I might be wrong. This one is for the Zotac RC6 and it has exact same Remote key numbers as the MCE RC6 remote but in a different registry location. Zotac_RC6_Decoded, same as before applies unzip, double click to apply restart and test with Showkey.

2- This one is for the Zotac RC260 which I think that will work for you. It has completely different Remote key numbers and uses a different registry location as well, it was hard figuring this out and thats why it took me a bit to reply back. Bear in mind I did this without a hardware like yours to test and used commonsense + IR keys decoding which took most of the time. Anyways try this Zotac_RC260_decoded, same as before applies unzip, double click to apply restart and test with Showkey, and I hope either one will work.

Please note: I could not detect The Green start button in the RC260 so I added the button as if it was RC6 and hope for the best, if does not work there is nothing more we can do unless someone can discover the The Green start button RC260 button number, which I can not do without the hardware

Cheers,
EG.

you're not going to like this....

RC6 - no response to blue key

RC260 - no response to blue key

i do have a global cache itach that i can use to detect the blue key transmission codes in hex. would that help?
