HELP needed setting up DirecTV remote with Eventghost
#1
I want to use my DirecTV remote to control XMBC

I bought an MCE remote, plugged in the IR sensor via USB and can use it to control Windows

I set up eventghost and installed plugins for the IR sensor, for MCE remote Vista/Win7 (including the additional MceRemote_Vista service) and for XMBC2

My MCE remote button presses get logged in eventghost just fine

but when i press my DirecTV remote buttons, i get nothing. no event loggged in eventghost

i know when i do get button events logged, i drag and drop them into the XMBC actions, but i can't get eventghost to "see" my DirecTV remote while it perfectly "sees" my MCE remote

been scouring the forums for days
any help?

thanks

You don't mention the step where you program your Directv remote aux device as Microsoft Media Center remote...I forget what the code is but there is one.

You don't say what MCE receiver you are using.

A quick Google suggests that the DirecTV remote can be configured to emulate a Microsoft (eHome) remote. Until you do that the Microsoft receiver won't detect any signals from the DirecTV.

Incidentally, you don't need EventGhost unless you want to route the remote signals to XBMC when it doesn't have the focus.
