Hi guys, I want to simply stop XBMC from reacting to mce remote. I will use EventGhost later to configure all the buttons.
How can I do that? I went to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Video\XBMC\system\keymaps
opened keyboard.xml
and deleted few lines under
<!-- ****************************************************** -->
<!-- MS Media Center keyboard shortcuts sent by MCE remotes -->
but XBMC still responds to my remote. What can I do to stop XBMC from responding to my remote?

Thank you for the information. Here is what I came up with.
I have a Asrock remote (nuvoton w836x7HG CIR) HID
I accidentally discovered that if I use one of your reg files with one entry, it disables all the buttons but the button press events are still logged in EventGhost. This is exactly the behavior that I wanted. So I made a reg file like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da]
"ReportMappingTable"=hex:\
0c,00,00,00,03,82,00,\ ; Power - left at Windows default, use "04,04,3d" to send alt-F4
I also tried to use a reg file like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da]
"ReportMappingTable"=hex:\
I said maybe this will disable all the buttons, it did but the eventghost wasn't able to catch any events from the remote anymore. So for EventGhost to capture, it needed at least one key assigned, so I kept the power.
However this has caused one problem for me. All my keys now send an event to EventGhost except 0! The key 0 doesn't send anything! How come?

Thank you I will look into it. I don't think this is related to EventGhost. It's about changing and manipulation the windows registry which is directly related to this thread and what you do.
I think there is something wrong in that registry manipulation that I did that stops 0.

Oh my, I just read the first post and then look at the topic saying "the easy way". How messed the xbmc can really be with it's remote support?
In media portal I get the perfect mce remote support like this: Go to config and check the "mce remote" checkbox. Done.

Hello, thanks for all your work on the remote side. Must say that I was a bit disappointed that XBMC did not have better native support. Anyways, with your settings everything works.
However, one of the reasons for me to try out XBMC is the Android remote. I installed this app after applying your settings, so I don't know if it is a result of this, but in the Android app all the stop and nect buttons etc don't work. I can only start a song, but not pause or stop. Could it be a result of your settings?
Edit: sorry guys. Disregard my question. Forget to tick the box about letting other systems control XBMC. Now it works perfectly. Very happy.
