bandyTA & flippado:
I believe both of you have remotes that are "mce compatible" in so far as they will work with the Media Center software, but they are completely incompatible as far as the hardware/driver are concerned.
They work with Windows Media Center because they simulate the keyboard button presses the same way the genuine MCE remote would... but that is where the similarity ends unfortunately.
To get them working with MediaPortal your best bet is to try the HID input plugin. Alternatively you could try one of the third party apps like HIP, Girder, EventGhost and IR Server Suite and see if you can get them to work. Just don't expect the MCE Remote support in any of those applications to help you, you'll more likely get it working with HID or "Keyboard" input support.
As this does not relate to the MCE Replacement Driver (which only works with compatible hardware) please create new posts outside of this thread if you'd like to continue discussing these remotes. I know you can't of know they were incompatible before, so please don't think I'm giving you a dressing down.
nobbly:
Interesting, it must be due to the way the mceir.dll addresses the device (conflicting GUID's or some such thing) ... I'll look into it further and try to find out exactly what HyperReality did to fix it in his copy ... Given that Bruno's code was open source I expect HyperReality will have released his source modification ...
