[QUOTE="fujistick, post: 379419, member: 65261"] Hi, I just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I'm having the same or similar problem as you guys. I have the following setup: [LIST] [*]iMON LCD built into the Thermaltake DH-101 case [*]iMON Firmware ver 0x3801 LCD OEM HID (which appears to be one of the first versions that doesn't work with IR Server Suite :() [*]iMON Manager ver 6.20.0830 (Thermaltake) [*]Logitech Harmony One remote configured as a SoundGraph iMon Pad Remote Controller [*]MediaPortal 1.0 final [*]Default Blue3wide skin - I don't have or have ever used, the SteamedMP skin (though it does look pretty good now that I've looked up the screenshots) [*]ShortCut'er Plugin (I'd prefer to use the IR Server Suite, but as mentioned above, it doesn't work) [*]I do have Moving Pictures installed now, but the issue was existing before this. [*]I don't have TVSeries yet (will install in the future when I get time) [*]I use the standard home screen and rarely use the basic home screen [*]I have the MiniDisplay plugin enabled using Type: SoundGraph iMON USB VFD/LCD Plugin V12_01_2008 [/LIST] Similar to what you've described in previous posts, I have the problem where sometimes (not always) when i press a button on the remote, it appears to get stuck repeating the same command i.e. behaves exactly the same as holding down a key on the keyboard. As you've mentioned in the first post, it is not the harmony remote repeatedly sending IR commands as it is still repeating after blocking the remotes transmitter. For me, this happens most often with the OK and Prev buttons on the harmony which are mapped to the Enter and Escape buttons on the iMon Pad remote. Basically the same behaviour as if you were to hold down the Enter or Esc key on the keyboard. The problem occurs evenly in all areas/plugin screens of MediaPortal, i.e. there is no particular plugin that it only occurs in. One thing that I have found, is that once a button gets "stuck", if you press the same button again on the remote, it stops the repeating. (until it gets stuck again later after a couple more button presses) To me, this doesn't look like a MediaPortal problem, as (like you mentioned) once a key gets "stuck" you can close MP and the key is still stuck repeating. e.g. If it's stuck repeating Escape you'll see it close the Start menu every time you try to open it. If it's a letter or similar that's stuck, press WindowsKey+R to bring up the Run dialog box and you can see it typing repeatedly. I think it's either the harmony remote not sending the iMON Pad IR commands properly, or a iMON firmware or software problem. Actually, just thinking now, I've got the MediaPortal MiniDisplay plugin enabled for the iMON LCD. I've just disabled this to eliminate any potential problems there. Will let you know how that goes. Ok, now for some possible solutions. I did some googling a while back and found this: [url=http://forums.logitech.com/logitech/board/message?board.id=programming&thread.id=23651]IMON VFD repeat and general control issue - Harmony Remotes - Programming - Logitech Forums[/url] It's possibly not exactly the same problem, but the response from the logitech dude was very interesting.
