EventGhost

I've got it. It had to have been some conflict with the file permissions. Even tho I both edited the __init__.py file and ran Eg with elevated permissions non of the changes I had been making would take. I reinstalled EG outside of the Program Files directory and everthing worked the first try ...

Okay just got a chance to try all of your suggestions again and still nothing... I'm really going bonkers on this I can't see any reason for the xbcdrc plugin to not recognize these new codes. I think I'll try uninstalling EG and reinstalling to a different location.

You can try starting EG with elevated priviledges (right click -> run as administrator), since otherwise it might not have permission to write in the plugins dir if you run it as a normal user.

If that does not help you could also try deleting the __init__.pyc file in the plugin same directory ...

So, let me just make sure.. with the universal remote you are getting lots of "Unknown code received"... lines in the log view, right? It should work if you add entries for those in the self.xbcdrc_mapping array around line 410 in the __init__.py file. The file you should be modifying is EventGhost ...

I'm using an old xbox 1 ir receiver with a Philips universal remote. Everything works great except I have way more buttons on my remote than the xbcdrc plugin recognizes. I've searched the forums and found out how to add more remote codes to the __init__.py for xbcdrc and have done so successfully ...
