eventghost doesn't recognise all remote buttons

Post by sylmaj »

Has anyone got hd-plex mce remote http://www.hd-plex.com/hdplex-internal-m...ntrol.html working with eventghost? I haven't even if I tried to do as in instructions above in this thread.

Here's some info about the remote:
-Native windows HID driver support, sames as USB keyboard, no additional driver needed. (So I suppose the remote is somehow preconfigured. Is this normal/good thing?)
- Standard RC6 Remote
-Support Logitech Universal Remote (MCE-1039 device in database)

And here the problem:
I tried to install the eventghost mce remote plugin first but eventghost doesn't show any logs appearing in eventghost log panel when I push any button from remote. Then I tried to install another mce remote plugin (if I recall, it's name was mce remote vista/win7 or something. Found that from the plugin list and decided to give a try) but had no better results. Windows media center does operate like a charm with the remote but what I want to do is that I can program a button from remote to launch xmbc.

I reinstalled eventghost and noticed after fresh startup that eventghost requires Speedlink SL-6399 MCE -plugin according to startup event log. I installed that plugin from the "add plugin" and finally got some results: when I push i.e num 1 from remote, eventghost shows that in log panel and I can drag that event log to work with an action of xbmc plugin (for example start xbmc.exe). When I push num 1 from remote, xbmc launch! But unfortunately when I push play, stop, pause or rewind or many other buttons, the event log panel shows different kind of log and I cannot drag that to right panel to work with any xbmc action. So I can launch xbmc but i can't control xbmc anymore. Before I installed eventghost, I was able to control xbmc but couldn't launch it. No it's opposite lol.

Some information about the pic: speedLink.DVD log with a lighting icon represents ummm I think somekind of dvd-menu button from the remote. The log (#3, 0, 19, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 with an info icon) after spedlink.dvd represents play-button. Two next are stop and rewind. And last are num-buttons. I don't understand, why play, stop and rewind buttons are different and why I can't drag them to the right panel so that I can program my remote to function as xbmc launcher.

Did you try using the updated plug-in that someone posted? http://www.eventghost.com/forum/viewtop ... cfc#p24672

Yes that worked! Thank you very much.

Edit: oops. Now eventghost is almost working. I got play, pause, stop etc. to work but back-button is still missing. In the log panel appears info icon and some numbers when I hit the back-button from remote. Everything else works. Any ideas how to fix that? Of course I could use another button as back button in xbmc but I'd like to have my system to work as it should. And in my remote the back-button is labeled with an arrow indicating as back so it'd be like a pain in my ass if i didn't get that button to function.

I don't know. But you might check this post and see if you can figure out if there's something to change in the configuration file.
