When I use this Remote and USB receiver in MediaPortal, most of the keys work as expected, except the ones I indicated in the Picture. I *THINK* that reciver came with the Microsoft MediaCenter Keyboard, the one with the Media Center Keys and the Touchpoint, although I really don't remember. However the pictured remote works as expected in XP MCE. The Pictured remote replaced one of the original Grey Media Center Remotes that had failed. I know that remote did not come with my USB IR receiver I'm using. The Remote in my picture is the one I'm currently using. My point is that I've collected a lot of parts that didn't come together.

I've finally solved a lot of those problems, and made the most progress yet with Windows 7 and running Media Portal. Since my current system doesn't support digital, and XP MCEs other limitations, I've wanted to get a system that supported digital built for some time but I've had no end of troubles. I've upgraded a few bits at a time, replacing the ATI card with two Hauppauge PVR-150s, and some other parts, but still running XP MCE.

I built the first system maybe ten years back, running Windows MCE and an ATI TV wonder card. This Media Center project has been years in the making. Thanks for the response CyberSimian, I really appreciate the help. So, the first thing to do is to check "Device Manager" to see if "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" is present that will indicate what sort of signals your remote is sending. Unfortunately, the button-mappings available under "Microsoft MCE" will not affect your remote (because your remote is sending keyboard shortcuts and not WMC-compatible RC6 IR signals). Up down left right select channel up channel down volume up volume down numeric digitsĪs far as I know, the button-mappings available under "General HID" do not allow you to remap the other buttons that are present on your remote control "General HID" is oriented towards keyboards that have media controls and other dedicated buttons. If your remote is sending keyboard shortcuts, the following buttons should work correctly: The problem with this is that the keyboard shortcuts that MP uses are not all identical to the keyboard shortcuts that WMC uses, so some buttons will not work as you expect, or not work at all. I would guess that it is generating keyboard shortcuts for Windows Media Center. If "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" is not present, your remote uses some other protocol. If "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" is present, then I believe that you have a true WMC-compatible remote, and you should enable "Microsoft MCE" in "MP Config", and disable "General HID". (4) Look at the devices listed under "Human Interface Devices" to see if there is one called "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver". Start > Control Panel > Device Manager > Human Interface Devices (left side bar)

(3) Go to Windows "Device Manager" and expand the device tree for "Human Interface Devices", like so: (2) Start MP and check that the remote still works as before (this will confirm that you have plugged in the correct IR receiver). (1) Ensure that you have plugged in only one IR receiver (I recollect from the other thread that you have two remote controls, and presumably two IR receivers). Although it says "RC6" on the label on the back, the fact that you need to enable "General HID" suggests that it may not be a true WMC-compatible remote control.
