"Couldn't start the Hauppauge remote control" Error

Post by jmsnyc »

I have a Hauppauge HVR-1850 remote that works with an IR Blaster and Receiver that plugs into the tuner card.

EventGhost 3.7r1436
W7 Home Premium Version 6.1 Build 1600

I just downloaded EventGhost and I am using it for my first time. Trying to follow tutorial here:

I added the Hauppauge plugin and then I receive the error "Couldn't start the Hauppauge remote control"

Please advise.

Thanks.

Please! Can anyone help with this?

I am a complete newbie with eventghost... I read and searched but cannot get it working.

When the Hauppauge PlugIn is enabled I get the error, even if I stop the Hauppauge IR program and restart Eventghost.

I also installed the Windows MCE plugin. I do not really care about WinTV app as I want to use my Hauppauge remote primarily with Windows 7.

Eventghost recognizes when I press keys on the Hauppauge remote.

If EventGhost is recognizing keys, is the problem just that there is an extra log message? Can you ignore it?
