Transmit IR & Remote Issues - Help?

Post by dustintheweb »

Hey everyone, first post & i'm bitting my knuckles on this one.

I'm attempting a (seemingly) simple Transmit IR action, but there seems to be some kind of issue that is preventing me from making it work.

When I create a macro, add the MCE Remote Transmit IR action, and attempt to configure it - the "Learn an IR Code" button is disabled / greyed out & I am unable to click it.

When I run the MCE Remote Transmit IR Action, I get an error complaining - Exeception: Don't have a decoder for Pronto format.

When I run the two test actions "Get MCE IR device capability" & "Test IR transmit capability", it gives me a warning that says: "0 Transmitters (0 attatched), does not have learn capability"

^ I find this message odd, due to the fact that I have EventGhost set up & working fine (in XBMC, WMC, etc) with my main MCE remote, as well an older IR based tv remote.

Environment:
- Windows 7 (64bit)
- EventGhost 0.4.1.r1544

EventGhost Plugins:
- Microsoft MCE Remote - Vista/Win7
- XBMC2
- MCE
- Task Create/Switch Events

Hardware:
I'm using this MCE remote & USB IR Receiver: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6880101002

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?

I checked your Newegg product link. That device doesn't look like the typical MCE IR transceiver. More importantly, the specs don't show it having an IR blaster function. It appears to be a receiver only. That's probably why you're getting the warning message.
