Just a quick update.... I installed Aaron's "MCE Replacement Driver" (great work)... from here - http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mc...4.html?t=29024 (the attachment at the bottom of the first post) and the remote now works perfectly.

No jezd, sorry, should have made it clear. This was in Vista Home Premium.
I couldn't get the Infrared USB Receiver to install at all under XP.

lol - its ok, I opened it anyway (late xmas toy) - now the journey to get it working in xp starts.....

Let me know how you get on.... I'm not overly impressed with Vista so if I had the opportunity to go back to XP that'd be great.....

A solution? Just buy a new remote? No Way... the 5100 is too good! lol

Hi Guys

this remote will work with XP MCE apparently, from what i can find searching the net, nothing special said, it just installed itself as ehome receiver.

It may just need a updated driver ID code for it to work.

good luck with it anyway.

hmm..... will have to think about getting XP MCE..... I've only tried it on XP Pro.

Cheers Ray

The good news is I have it working with XP pro (a simple edit needed), I am able to test IR output with HIP....so I just need to sort it on MP now.

Will post more details shortly.

Cheers

ok, bath time for kids so need to run........but its simply a case of using the MCE replacement drivers mentioned earlier in this thread - edit the inf file and add the Philips Device ID to it (easy to find) - then update devices driver in Device Manager and point the file location to the inf files (XP one is the one).

eg. the inf file would also have this in it :

[Microsoft]
%USB\VID_0471&PID_0815.DeviceDesc%=MCEIR.Dev, USB\VID_0471&PID_060D

VID_0471&PID_060D is the device ID for the Philips USB IR device

After this you have a working 'MCE Infrared Remote Control' in your USB devices.

HIP then sees it fine and tested too, first attempt at MP didnt kick in......shall play again after bath time!!

:-)

Well that seems to be fine here, XP SP2 configured as above and then using HIP to manage the remote aspect and it works fine - tetris in MP with a remote should keep the wife happy!!

Hope you guys get it working too - happy to help.

See above, sorted
