So far I have not been able to log one single buttonpress, regardless the plugin I use... I thought I had a MCE remote, but the MCE Remote plugin did not work... So now I found out that its not a Microsoft remote but one from Philips... It all looks the same Ceck the link below (its the fourth one)
http://www.remotecontrol.philips.com/index.cfm?id=1336
but obviously is not completely compatible... The remote works like a dream in the Vista Media Center, but in XMBC only the directional and the Ok buttons work... And its XBMC that I would like to use with this remote!
Does anybody have more insight in how to fix this problem?
Help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Maassie

MCE Remote? Looks like it, but its from Philips!
Re: MCE Remote? Looks like it, but its from Philips!
Update!
Last night I tried to use the HID plugin with Eventghost and I noticed that there where four 'Philips MCE USB IR Reciever - Spinel plus ' available... So I tried one and that made one or two buttons work! So I decided to add them all and yes! All buttons were logged (accept for the Ok and directional ones, but they were already working since the start)!
So together with the XBMC plugin I was able to map most of the buttons and now everything works fine!
Well... almost that is! :sniffle: I notices that some of the buttons (the red/freen/yellow/blue ones and the menu and record button do not log a single button press like: HID.07 but generate a multi numbered code, like: HID.125.4.23 or something, and repeating this twice or three times!
(I have to say that I use a Harmony remote that I learned the MCE remote)
I mapped the record button to an Execute XBMC event and that resulted in XBMC loading twice or even more times... Funnt thing is that the MCE remote logs something like HID.05 when I press record, and the harmony logs HID.125.4.23 or something, while the harmony remote has learned the MCR remote codes!!
Strange isn't it?
