Install the MCERemote add-on (it's in the Programs section). Open the add-on and select the "Apply current settings to remote" and that will install a config that will work with XBMC. See http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Usi...in_Windows for details of what the MCERemote add-on does.

Hi jhsrennie

I have the same remote and I used your mce plugin.

It worked really well except for a couple of hickups:

1) The "TV" button at the uppermost right of this remote, still opens windows mce, and showkey does not recognize it. I can't figure out how to fix it.

2) There was no context menu button set up. I fixed it by editing the keyboard.xml, but I was wondering why the mce plugin omits such a useful key that is needed for crucial functions.

Thanks for the wonderful plugin

aptalca,

Go to add/remove programs. go to disable/enable windows features... (something like that anyways) and then disable MCE.
the TV button won't launch TV anymore.

THEN

Download Eventghost,
Enable your remote in the plugins section of Eventghost
Enable the XBMC plugin in eventghost
Once both plugins are enable. click the button on your remote that you want to change eg. 'TV'
Then an event will appear in the left colum, drag that event over to the xbmc plugin action that you want the even to trigger.

Hit save.
done.

eventghost is GOD. Along with keyboard.xml and remote.xml, once you get your head around everything, you can pretty much have the buttons do anything you want.

If you're using the MCERemote add-on for Eden then select the "Configure MCERemote settings" option and the button is in the list as "Teletext".

In the HP remote I used when testing MCERemote the button is just labelled "T" so I assumed it was the Teletext button. It's obviously labelled differently on your remote.

I wouldn't attempt to install EventGhost. Eventghost is indeed a powerful app, but it's not easy to configure and it is unnecessary in this case.

I have this exact remote. I would like to use it for my Chromebox running Kodi on openELEC.
Is it possible? If it is can somebody please point me in the right direction?
My computer knowledge is limited and so is my Kodi knowledge.
