DVDMenu on MCE Remote not registering anymore

I've upgraded to build 1447 lately and suddenly the DVDMenu key of my MCE Remote wasn't working anymore.
I installed back build 1325, and here it is again!
So something changed between those 2 versions in eventghost.
A fix would be nice, this key is pretty much essential to my home theater apps

Just a thought, did you check for any new devices that may have shown up under some of your plugins? The reason I ask is I use a old style Gyration remote which has a big green button and some of it's buttons including big green show up as Generic HID Plugin devices.

Well, does it make sense? In build 1325, every key of my remote works. In build 1447, every key except dvdmenu still works.
Why would it move in some other plugin?
Anyway, I tried to check if it was considered a "regular" key press using the keyboard plugin but not luck either.
I'll stick to build 1325 until further notice.

I had a look on the changes between version 1325 and 1447:
The name of the event sent for the DVD menu changed from "DVD Menu" to "DVDMenu".
IMHO you only need to update your configuration to look for the new event name (or both).
You should see the DVDMenu event in the log window (maybe you need to uncheck the "Log only assigned..." option). You can easily drag'n'drop this event all macros, where you need it.

Ah, you got me!
It might have been in fact that the "log only assigned..." checkbox was on when I tried the new version.
I just tested again and indeed the new event shows up. So I got it assigned and all is well again!
Thanks a lot.
