EventGhost

So, I grabbed another universal remote that I had laying around and programmed it to emulate an RCA DVD player (which is what the Xbox Original DVD Dongle responds to).

It recognized the following additional codes in DVD mode:

006d100 < (left arrow? very common among RCA remotes, but not sure ...

I added the following lines:

'0064f0a': 'AUDIO',
'006af0a': 'ENT.',

so the key-mapping section should now read:

self.xbcdrc_mapping = {
'006d50a': 'DISPLAY', '0066a05': 'DISPLAY', '0066afd': 'DISPLAY',

I had to replace the plugin folder, remove the plugin, and reinstall it, but it works like a charm now.

I did run in to a possible bug, but I don't know how big of a deal it is.

I am using my Yamaha receiver remote, programmed to control an ...

Got these errors...

So, I am running MicroXP, and the Terminal Services service has been removed.

That means EventGhost won't run properly.

I'm trying to add it back, but without luck.

Do you have any pointers?

I've managed to get the Terminal Services service to show up under services.msc by adding some entries to ...
