EG detect remote keypresses but not MediaPortal

Post by Khurram »

I have configured EventGhost with the MediaPortal plugin and configured the macros with events for my remote's (MCE) keys. I have also configured MediaPortal with the MessagePlugin and have enabled it. When I press the keys on my remote, they show up in the EventGhost log, but they dont get passed to MediaPortal :cry:

EventGhost version is 0.3.7.r1462 and MP's is 1.1.1.0, OS is Win7 32bits.

Please help.

An update. Pressing the key on the remote generates the following in the log:

Code: Select all

MceRemote.Ok ----> event
Ok ----> macro
MediaPortal: Ok ----> action
So EventGhost configuration is probably ok. Is it MediaPortal that is ignoring the action sent from EventGhost? It seems so but I cannot find anything in the MediaPortal's log :?

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the MediaPortal's KeyboardInput plugin instead of the MessagePlugin?

Thanks.

Are you running mediaportal with admin priviledges and EG as a restricted user?

No, I am running both with an administrator level account and UAC is disabled.

As a test, I added the plugin for foobar2000 and configured the remote keys for it. It worked perfectly the first time. I wish the MessagePlugin has more logging options, but it is not developed any further; its author moved to IR Server Suite and has since left its (active) development also.

It is working now :D All I did was to restart the system and that has fixed the problem.
