Hi,

I have an HP Slimline computer that was preloaded with Vista Media Center and which came with this model of the remote control: http://memages.jrpereira.com/images_...ter_remote.jpg. I also have an IR remote control for my USB-based DigiTv "card/box" (AnySee e30c+). Due to repetitive crashes of Vista, i have installed XP Pro (SP3) and decided to use MediaPortal as my Media Center. At the moment i am experiencing the following problem with the remote controls. i would like to use any of those remote controls with Media Portal.

Initially, after installing XP, there was an (!) mark next to the USB Controller BB+ Dongle(e.d) in the device manager. To remedy to this problem, i installed the MCE Replacement Driver (developed by AND-81 and available on this forum) and the MCE Replacement Plugin (Remote Plugin) and that corrects the problem in the Device Manager.

However, i am unable to get the remotes to work with MP. I am able to make the Remote Plugin to learn the keys but i cannot use the "binding". For example, if i make the plugin learn that the "Volume +" button on my Remote to be "Volume Up" command and bind it to the macro "Blast: Volume Up" then nothing really happens when using that button on the remote while viewing some Video.

Would anyone have a working solution or an idea how i could solve this ?

Thanks in advance
