I think I've solved the remote button issue, there was an unknown driver in Device Manager which I discovered was the Serial IO GPIO driver. Installing that appears to have solved the remote problem. Who knew? Thanks to all who contributed to my solution.

I just upgraded my HTPC to a 12th gen Core i5 CPU and Windows 11 running MP 1.30 (Ukraine). It works well except for two minor...
Thanks, but I already tried that. The first 12 "IrDeviceV2" entries produced no messages at all. The last 2 (labelled "Mouse") produced messages at a rate which caused the HID Demo UI to become unresponsive. The only possible source for these messages was the RF remote I was using to operate the HID Demo UI. Why should an RF...

Procedure lets say 98% complete :cool:
I am happy that I can report, that the strange HID errors has gone.
Sometimes - after years - it's good to take a complete bath to feel clean again :ROFLMAO::D:p:ROFLMAO:

Thanks for the quick response and yes that indeed fixed that annoying issue. Appreciate the help. Now I have to fix the mute and volume buttons on the remote. I assume MC was controlling those functions. I wonder what else on the remote needs fixing.
Update: Seems one of the HID devices in Windows Device Manager was disabled. Once it...

Ok I've spent way too much time on this but for the sake of other users that are having problems and searching for answers here is the final result.
To clarify this testing has been carried out using MP 1.23 using PureVisionHD Skin and a HID keyboard with MP/Config/Remotes set to HID "full" profile - Enable HID - Use HID keyboard...

I recently upgraded from MP 1.14 to MP 1.23. In 1.14 I was using the InputPlugIn to map my remote keys and all was working fine. In...
Thanks CyberSimian, I appreciate the reply. I have the source code for both 1.12 and 1.21 so one day if I have some time I might try to compare the two and see what I can find. I do suspect that the changes could be quite extensive though. I'll update here if I figure anything out of course, and in the meantime I still have a...

Hi all.
I've been running MP 1.12 for quite a while and have recently upgraded to 1.21. I now have a remote control issue which...
Hmm, I am not exactly sure what you mean by "MiniTV mode" :confused:. Do you mean the display of a live-TV (or live-video) thumbnail on relevant MP panels? If so, that is dependent on the skin you are using.

I have released a new version of the support pack for the Ortek and Hama remote controls. To make it easier to find, I have created a new thread, this one:

Wow, I should have thought of that (TV Server Power Scheduler plugin). The only place I haven't checked yet.
To clarify, it's ONLY MediaPortal that insists on using the Away Mode. I have tried to disable it in RegEdit even, and have checked the Power Plan in Windows 7 over and over. Thanks, guys.

It's an external MCE RC 6 IR receiver and remote from SMK.
But I don't think that the IR receiver is the problem, because it also happens when I'm using the keyboard. E.g. when I navigate through the main screen (remote or keyboard), the volume OSD is shown when I press the left/right button / key.
Maybe only an issue with German...

Hi,
I've updated Mediaportal from 1.16 to 1.19.
Now every time I press a button on my MCE RC6 remote the Info button is virtually...
Yes thank you so much for this fix. Been bugging me for at least a year. Finally decided to sit down and work out what was wrong. Uninstalled Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard software and all fixed.

Unfortunately, turning off the backround running of apps in Chrome had no effect. I am leaning towards the remote being faulty. I bought a HID Compatible remote and everything worked right away (I had another IR tranceiver from my previous remote lying around)...

Thanks for all the replies.
I understand what you are saying about not remapping 0-9 keys, but I never use them.
Watching live TV is ATO on my TV set here in California so Mediaportal is mostly for recording and Videos.
The mapping of the remote is done by Eventghost with vrc 1100 pludin and mediaportal pungin "Eventhost plus" so...

It is usually supplied somewhere within the support/download section for the specific tuner you have on Hauppauge's website. Having said that, it does not appear to be available for the quad [which your forum profile says you have]. I jumped over to the page for the HVR-2200 and grabbed the following link from the accessories tab...

...which is exactly why I've asked for log files.
I want to see:
Whether Windows updates were installed recently, and if yes, which ones.
Which files Windows is loading as the driver for the receiver. I've seen cases where security software entangled itself with remote control receiver and/or tuner drivers and caused them to stop...

So, a further update for anyone that is interested. I presume that like me, everybody on the planet has had their Windows 10 systems hammered with updates this week. So damn many, it's driving me nuts. Anyway, I just went to press the yellow subtitle button and the damn toggle wasn't working again! Checked the "EnableDebounce" value...

Apologies to anyone who had already read my post below. I made a mistake. I'd forgotten that I had to do a complete install of 1.16.0 (Rather than upgrade), so the option to enable DVB Subtitles in TV config was off.
Having said this, the issue that appeared after the 1.15.0 upgrade, where the yellow button only works once, still...

For devices, I have been putting the model number and device brand instead of Microsoft Windows Media Center. And yes I'm sure I have put it in a good spot since everytime I press the power button the IR device itself gives a red blink everything it's pressed. Happy New Years!

Good point, I just checked that again and the wiki links to that HID Known Issues forum post which mentions that back button issue already.
Let's assume this is the issue @TheMerovingian was having. Marking that thread as solved.

I'd say you need to get FLIRC to behave like a normal MCE receiver, I don't know if it can do that, however I reckon it should as they claim it does everything.
When that's done you should be able to see what key does what in HID Demo.
You sure did that by getting a FLIRC which is a configurable solution rather that a standard MCE...
