EventGhost takes over entire remote

Post by radiocolin »

Hi all,

I have a very cheap MCE remote which, for some reason, instead of implementing a proper "info" button just sends a right click when that button is pressed. Kind of annoying.

So I figured I'd use EG to simply replace the "right click" from the remote with CTRL+D.

So I configured only that button, but now Windows Media Center won't respond to any other buttons on the remote.

How do I set it up so that EG takes over for that one button, but all the other keypresses are normal?

You don't. It's all or none with the plug-in. You would need to manually map all of the keys.

An option I used that I only discovered by experimentation is to use a second MCE IR receiver. This works in Windows 8, but didn't work for me in Windows 7. You setup the EG MCE device first. When that is working properly, add the second device. It will receive and act on the native MCE remote commands.
