With eventghost I have absolutely no remote control at all. I selected the XBMC and MCE plugins and nothing. Besides with eventghost i'm unable to use my password entered from my remote in windows.
So I think the best option for me is to edit the keymap file. I do have default controls. I can arrow around and select stuff but that's it. No play, FF, pause, etc. I can't back out to the main menu.
So I was wondering if anyone has the config file setup for a MCE remote and they could just email me that file to use? That would be great.

Just for clarification - any learning remote should work as long as you have the original remote or the proper codes, correct?
I have XBMC on an XBox, I have the XBox dvd remote.
I also have the Philips RC9800i remote. Should I teach it the controls from the XBox remote, or are there any known settings/codes/templates for using an RC9800i with XBMC?

I got it to work for the most part. I have to run eventghost as admin or it doesn't work.
I have two issues I need to resolve. When I bring up a context or info menu and decide I don't want to select anything how do I ext from that screen?
FF and rewind are buggy. I hit FF and it returns me to the parent menu and gives me a 1 sec audio loop from the exact moment in the show when I hit FF. I can select the show again and it will tell me it's fast forwarding at 8x or so but nothing is really happening.

I don't have duplicate commands for FF or rewind.
I still think i'd rather get a good keymap file because I do have the need to bounce between media center and XMBC and as it stands now I have to re-enable HID or whatever it's called and reboot.

OK, this may be a bit picky but i thought I would ask.. I recently got an RTI T2-Cs and added in the mce commands to a xbmc page. I then used eventghost and got everything running relatively easily. Just a few tweaks here and there. Now I'm wondering if I can make it a bit more solid.
I miss my wireless logitech controller when I was running xbmc on my xbox. I know the touch sensitive buttons are a no-go anymore but is there a way to press and hold on keys to scroll through list or adjust pixel ratio? it can be tedious one click at a time..
