AIM Remote (1 Viewer)

[Midol]

G'day guys,

I did a search and failed to turn much up.

Just wondering if anyone has used this specific remote:

And if it worked well. I was originally just going to use WMC but now want to run Media Portal but I can't seem to figure the remote side of it out. I suspect I need a new remote, the only buttons that work are the left, right, up, down, mute and then a bunch of other buttons automatically start WMC. Ohhh, the off button also works.

I hope someone can advise me.

does it register as HID or ehome in device manager?

ehome

G'day mate,

It's listed as an eHome infrared receiver.

I'm doing some searching on it now within the forum but thought I'd reply in case there is an easy to follow help thread somewhere that my search isn't locating (I've only used googles search though, about to do a search within the forum).

ETA: I am looking into IR Server Suite so if someone sees this and I am way off let me know

Ok. If you find a fix, please link to it here so others can make use of it.

As a general rule of thumb, that remote should work as a standard MCE remote in MP. If its not, a quick route to a solution would be to set it up with Eventghost or Intelliremote, or similar.
