MCE IR Blaster and IR Server Suite

[nicolasqueen]

Hello,

I'm really wanting to switch from Vista Home Media Center to either GBPVR or MediaPortal. I have figured out how to set up my tuner card and actually got video through it earlier today in GBPVR and Mediaportal. My biggest issue right now is making the IR blaster and remote work. I have tried both HIP and IR Server Suite with little luck. I followed the IR Server Suite tutorial until I got to the Learning function. I once got a Both in the Port drop down but soon after I could no longer get it to come back. In the HIP tutorial I fail at the same thing. The Microsoft Remote I am using is a Version 2 (I think... it says Model 1039 on the bottom) and it works fine under Media Center. The blaster is a USB one that I have running two STB's. I have removed the suggested registry keys and even tried the replacement driver. No matter what I do I cannot make either recognize my remote. It is like it is no longer functioning. Have I messed up in changing the driver? Any help would be appreciated!
