I am stuck on getting a signal sent out from the HP MCE IR Receiver Transmitter unit.
When I use the compatibility actions provided and execute the actions the log indicates that there is an IR receiver and two IR transmitters (one connected) and it also has learning capability. It also shows a little caution sign (triangle with !)
I get this both when I execute the test capability and the test transmit capability. Is there somewhere else I can go for futher detail? I will post the log when I get home and can make a copy of it.
I am using the latest version of eventghost EventGhost 0.3.7.r1482
I am running Windows 7 x64
I am using the HP Media CENTER Remote IR RECEIVER (model # 5070-2584 )
I am using the plugin MceRemote_Vista I am using the 20090907 version posted here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1789
Objective: Send TV Power Signal to Samsung LN450 32" LCD from HTPC via HP Media Center Remote IR Receiver based upon an event generated when I press power on my Gyration air music remote when in PC mode, which sends a RF standby command (I have standby set to do nothing on the PC).
I am able to get the transmit action to learn the remote code.
I am able to see the transmit taking place in eventghost log and I can get it to perform a generic text action to display the word "Test" on the screen.
However when it executes the transmit IR based action with the learned code nothing happens on the TV.
I am thinking that because I am not seeing the test code when I execute the test transmit capability action with the emmitter and reciever facing eachother there is an issue with the transmitting.
Any help on how to debug this would be great.

MCE Remote Transmit IR function help
Re: MCE Remote Transmit IR function help
Well I figured it out. I was doing a couple of things wrong;
1. I found that to get the transmitter to work I needed to go into services and set the alternate IR service to run under an admin user account as opposed to running under the local account.
2. I found the learning captured the hex code but still the sending didn't work. It was only when I pasted the HEX code into the below snippet replacing the portion in italics with your code and then pasted the whole thing (tags and all) back into EventGhost that it actually worked.
