Tested with only this remote

[User 34959]

having the same problem as anyo when using hip, the up/down/left/right
buttons do not work.

anyone got reason/solution for this? i'm using mce remote&reciever and xbmc beta 1 :confused2:
other keys work fine, and i've gone through every possible hip setting which might cause this, but no avail :mad:

I just mapped the XBMC keys to the keyboard for general control.
Mappings

• PC -> Start XBMC Full Screen
  
• Esc -> Green Start Button (to get back to main menu)
  
• Up -> Up Button
  
• Down -> Down Button
  
• Left -> Left Button
  
• Right -> Right Button
  
• Select -> OK Button
  
• Back -> Back Button
  
• Play -> Play Button
  
• Rewind -> Rew Button
  
• FF -> Fed Button
  
• Skip Fwd -> Skip Button
  
• Skip Back ->Replay Button
  
• Vol Up -> Vol Up Button
  
• Vol Down -> Vol Down Button
  
• Vol Mute -> Mute Button
  
• Page Up -> Ch\Page Up Button
  
• Page Down -> Ch\Page Down Button
  
• Toggle Full Screen Video -> DVD Menu Button (only thing left I could use)
  

Here is the xml for it. Copy it and save it to a file like MCERemote_XBMC_EventGhost.xml. Then open it in Event Ghost. If you need to add more, you can use any of the existing ones as a template.
