Hi JR, thanks for the numerous posts and articles you wrote about these remotes. I read through quite a few of them, and I have a couple of questions.

First of all, I have the original ms remote that I bought a couple of years ago on ebay. I was previously using it with bruno's replacement driver and I had mapped the signals to keyboard presses using girder.

I just switched to win 7 for dharma and dxva and I am doing the remote setup from scratch. I noticed that the ms remote works (mostly) out of the box in dharma. That is good news, however, the back key on the remote does not behave exactly the same as backspace on keyboard. For instance, in system info or movie info, the remote back does nothing whereas backspace exits the window.

I am guessing the out of the box ms remote keymaps should be handled by remote.xml and when I check the file, under "movie information" I can see that back is supposed to be mapped to "close", which makes me think it should have worked. Am I wrong in that assumption?


EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. Apparently out of the box ms remotes were handled by the keyboard.xml, not remote.xml
Also, the remote was sending the browser_back command, not backspace. That button I don't think is handled by the keyboard.xml (At least I didn't see any mention of it) That probably explains why that button did not cause a sound effect in my skin, anyway, I switched to rennie's custom reg and I am much happier :-)
