Afraid it's not working for me either - the same buttons seem to be supported as usual by default (ie up, down, left, right, OK), but no others.

The IR receiver is built-in and therefore can't offer you any details on that, but the remote is standard MCE.

Hi Calvin. Can you try running Notepad and pressing the remote "pause" button. With my remote this sends a ctrl-P and this should cause Notepad to display the Print dialog (in Notepad the keyboard shortcut for print is ctrl-P).

If Notepad doesn't display the ctrl-P your remote must be sending something else.

I tested it without your patch and nothing happens in notepad - but I would've expected this to be the case, otherwise the remote could do all sorts of weird commands in different apps?

I haven't tested with your patch, since I wouldn't expect button behaviours to change outside of XBMC?

What IR receiver do you have and do you use a V1 or V2 MCE remote?

My remote does send a ctrl-P, and it does have weird effects in different apps :-) You're quite right that my "patch" is only to the XBMC keyboard handlign code and won't affect anything outside of XBMC. I wonder how your remote is working then. My remote appears to the system as a keyboard or strictly speaking a HID device.

The patch just extends XBMC to handle keypresses like ctrl-shift-P etc. So if the remote isn't sending those codes it won't work. Did any software have to be installed to support the remote or was it just a metter of plugging in the receiver. I wonder if some other software is processing remote signals before XBMC gets them.

Since it was a built-in receiver, it's always been connected. It's a pre-built media centre PC and any OS installs I've struggled to find drivers.

The Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver appears under HID devices too.

If your remote sends keyboard commands, surely you could've just altered the keymap.xml instead of compiling XBMC? (to work with your remote anyway)

Thought that this patch will also work with my HP-remote, i tried it but without success.

I uninstalled IR-Server Suite, backed up the old dll's and exe and copied the patched files over. Then i did a restart but my remote does not work at all

In IR-Server Suite i had selected Microsoft MCE and it worked. XP recognizes the remote as eHome Receiver...

Any suggestions ?

If this method is not working for you, I suggest the method by idioteque: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=36936

That's how i already did it, but i thought i could get rid of IR-Server Suite...

One mor question: As i said, i cannot control anything if i unistall IR-Server Suite :mad:

Before i installed IR-Server Suite, i could control e.g. the MS-Windows explorer with my remote without using XBMC. The remote was Plug&Play recognized as eHome receiver from XP.

btw: This is not an "exotic" remote. It is sold with the HP-Pavillion notebooks together with MCE.

The reason why this is not working for many is we have disabled our HID mce remote device when installing EventGhost's MCE remote plugin.

The MCE plugin for event ghost asks if you want to disable the mce remote HID device and the instructions suggest you do it.

How do we reenable the mce remote HID device to test this approach?

Tried this on 8.10 final and remote seems to work exactly as before the files switched. Shame it would be great to get this working.

Will this modified .exe work with the latest third party builds?
