This is off topic a bit but since we all run XBMC and Media Center I thought I would ask. Everytime I am recording TV in Media Center (be it VMC or Win7) and then start XMBC my recording stops. The only way it then will record again is if I close XBMC.
Does anyone else have this same problem and know of any work around?
thanks

Great guide, got nearly everything working except ff and rw won't work. They are mapped to the f and r keystrokes but when I use either in XBMC they stop the video or track.
Anyone any ideas?

Just wanted to post and say this worked perfectly for me. I just recently began using MPC-HC as an external player, and couldn't figure out a way to get IRSS working for it as well, so switched back to eventghost. This method was easy to use, easy to understand, and works flawlessly with no lag, and no odd issues like I was having using the xbmc plugin. Also used it to set up MPC-HC with my remote.
Just have to fiddle with my keymap.xml a bit to get some of my other functions working in xbmc and I'll be set.

Is there a better way to to go directly to the movie library than using xbmc.activatewindow(videolibrary,movietitles) atm its no good.. it dosnt take me into the library, it takes me to some random screen that looks like it could be some bad skinning, but im sure its because its not calling the window properly (using aeon showmix). Does anyone have it working properly?

thanks for getting this figured out... i tried for days to perfect eventghost and xbmc and couldnt get it going...
everything works but 1 question..
lets say i am in xbmc watching videos, etc,
then decide to go to media center to watch netflix or whatever
then want to go back to xbmc...
the problem is when i close media center i see xbmc but i cant control it at all or make it active...
i still see the windows taskbar
is there anyway around this... would be very helpfulll. thanks again..

I have a similar setup but only need it for XBMC, not VMC. I have a plugin for MCE remote (It's a philips RC6), a plugin for XBMC, and the launch program macro. Then I have dragged the functions across to the XBMC folder macros. This worked the first few times I ran it but has suddenly stopped working. Would mapping keyboard presses instead of the XBMC plugin make this work? The receiver led flashes on button presses and event ghost recognises the buttons. They just no longer do anything within XBMC.
