1) If I add a device to harmony 650 as Microsoft MCE Remote, I can get some functions to work in XBMC (through Eventghost).
2) If I add a device to harmony 650 as Microsoft MCE Keyborad, Eventghost sees the keypresses, but doesn't know what they are (Eventghost log shows "USB_UIRT.Unknown.HEX_CODES....")
I have tried to map buttons through Harmony software under both "Activities" and the "Devices."
I am starting to think this is because I am trying to use a USB-UIRT as my receiver. If I try to add the plugin "Microsoft MCE Remote" in eventGhost, I get "Error starting plugin: Microsoft MCE Remote. Device Not Found"
Perhaps the USB-UIRT driver is not compatible with a device emulating MCE keystrokes?
I have the USB-UIRT as well. You need EventGhost with USB-UIRT to get the remote keypreses working in XBMC. USB-UIRT is not natively supported in XBMC so you'd have to do some coding I think in order to bypass EventGhost. I also have an MCE remote and IR receiver and I still use EventGhost because there is no difference in lag and I can customize the buttons a little easier.
