EventGhost

I will do this asap and get back to you, many thanks!

The ir receiver is only hooked to the 4 pins on the USB header?? are you sure?? because the CIR header is 4 pins. and I thought USB Header is 2 rows of 5 pins i could be mistaken tho. let me see what i can dig up on that model number you posted ...

hmmm I think i'll have to re-read this a few more times to fully grasp what you are implying/instructing. But to answer some of your questions now that I'm actually in front of the HTPC:

I may have led you on a bit of a red herring. I am still fairly confident that I used the inteset IR receiver on ...

@kgschlosser thanks for the response (and for forgiving)

So if you look at the previous posts, I actually have an atypical set up. I have that Media Center SE device added, but I actually have 2 PC's connected to the Logitech blaster (one dedicated HTPC and one gaming/everyday/backup HTPC Beast of ...

@kgschlosser Sorry for my absence. I have a small child and finding time to trouble shoot these things is a bit difficult.

the codes seem to be different every time. I thought they were the same, but when assigning them to kodi actions and repressing the keys, it doesn't report the assigned action ...

@kgschlosser you're just going to look at my pasted text file and look for the specific codes that appear in all 3 presses right? I can def do that myself if so, but thank you for the offer

@jachin99 Some quick googling didn't yield an obvious way to add an LIRC Device and even if I could, it would ...

I was about to do all the steps you wrote but I had one clarification. I was typing it when I thought maybe I should just try the latest version of the plugin first (Sorry I didn't follow the directions verbatim...yet). So I clicked on the link and installed and it seemed to go alright. When I added ...

@jachin99 Do I have to re-click the "run EventGhost as Administrator" every time the computer is restarted? In any event I'm getting all these errors precisely WHEN i click "Install" on the alt IR driver (right after installing the Plugin). I tried a second time after going to File->Restart ...

@kgschlosser I completed the steps in the fixed link (thanks for that). I get the same error messages in the EventGhost log that I pasted above when I go to Install the Microsoft MCE Remote (Vista+) plugin. Looking into pasting the xml (as a txt/zip) now...

Edit: Figured it out, the egtree.zip ...

@kgschlosser Where might I find this file that would help (that I must zip or change to txt)? Somewhere in userdata? Thanks for the new link. I will attempt that soon

@Possessed Pretty much exactly on the nose. Each of the PC's have their own IR receiver, one internal to an internal USB header and ...

Thanks guys! I appreciate all the extra color.

@kgschlosser I'll try to PM my EG save file tonight, but let me attempt to explain once more. I have 2 PC's on a single IR blaster, HTPC and a PC that's used for lots of things and as a backup HTPC when the main one is having issues. Since they are on ...

Thanks for the info guys! I can't say I fully understand all of what you suggest, but I'll def take the time to figure it out. I did NOT know that the newer plugin was the Win 7 one, that is good info. I haven't messed with any of the xml files. Are you talking about the Kodi userdata files or more ...

So "Restart as Administrator" did indeed get rid of the warning about changing the HID service and being administrator (after a reset), but unfortunately the buttons that aren't the Microsoft Keyboard are still not registering in EventGhost.

I am trying to control Kodi. This used to work...

I'll ...

Wait, MCE Remote is the old one and not MCE Remote Win Vista 7?

I will try this "restart as administrator" tonight in any event and report back...

EG version 0.4.1.r1722 (but also tried 0.5.0-rc3 and a few earlier version of the 0.4.1 variety)
Windows 10 Pro 64
MCE Remote Plugin (NOT the Vista / 7 variety)

I've upgraded 2 HTPC's to Windows 10 and on both I get the following error on Startup and when I unclick, then re-enable "Disable HID ...

Just reporting back: @kkl 's suggestion turned out to be exactly what was needed and as soon as I got my new inteset IR receiver plugged it i started to set it up. The hardest part was trying to find "dummy" devices that had enough keys that were read by the eHome receiver (after much trial and ...
