EventGhost

So, I have finally updated my trusty Streamzap remote for a new fangled Harmony thingy. I am still using my Streamzap IR Receiver.

EventGhost has been working flawlessly for me in controlling MediaPortal, EventGhost is so good - it just works.

I have been able to work out how to make my new ...

So thanks for the reply, I did it anyway.

Thanks for all of your help, all now seems well.

Thanks in Advance For your help.

Attached is my xml file, I guess that is what you meant

When I map in MediaPortal, the play button to "p" as it should be, Eventghost returns a value in MediaPortal of {p}.

This indicates a "special key" value in MediaPortal. All i want is for the play ...
