Help with Microsoft remote

mbm · 2007-11-08, 23:03

Just bought this remote but have problems getting it to work.
I have installed the drivers. Is there any settings i BIOS too?

Is there a guide on how to setup remotes for MP?

Sometimes when entering MP it just keep scolling down until it freezes.
The only thing that works is the power-button. It can be shut down, but not powered on.

Please help.

You need to state HW and OS (incl. language)
- and logs found under mediaportal\logs\ .This goes for all support threads

Help with Microsoft remote

This is not a Microsoft MCE remote.

Ok now we need to find out what it is installed as, under Device manager\universal Serial Bus controllers

Is there anything listed that may point to your remote, ie MS MCE Remote is seen as "ehome infrared receiver (USBCIR)".

Is there anything listed in either Human Interface Devices (HID) or Keyboards for your remote as well.

is there a icon for your remote possibly in system tray that may allow it to be configured.

At this moment do not enable any remotes within MP config. see if any keypresses now work by default.

Just as a update, this device should use the MCE ehome driver, so you should have above "ehome infrared receiver (USBCIR)".

This is natively supported in XP pro, XP Home (especially none english version) can be a bit tricky, look here for answer.

There is detected an IR TransCeiver under USB
And under Human Interface device there is a Infrared HID Device, but with a yellow mrk to it. Sp something may be wrong here?
But Mediaportal keeps freezing as well, so it hard to test whats wrong

Okay got something working.
Reinstalled Mediaportal and remote.

Now it detects fine in MP but only the curser-keys, OK-key and power works. So after starting a movie with the OK-key I cant do anyting more. Only power down.

Is there something in the configuration I should do?
