[QUOTE="RedeviL, post: 278043, member: 55318"] What I would guess is happening is that MediaPortal is not releasing your IR service when it is minimised. Open up MediaPortal configuration, goto Remotes - Hauppauge tab and make sure 'External processes may use the remote control' is ticked. If it is, go back to General and untick the box for Starting MediaPortal in fullscreen. Click ok to save the settings. Now start MediaPortal. Select HD Player and once PowerDVD has started, double click to take it out of Fullscreen mode. Check in your system tray for the black remote looking icon. If it's not there, you might need to untick the 'External processes may use the remote control' option click ok. Then go back into configuration and tick it again. This is because that exactly is what the plug-in is designed to do. It does not expect your remote to actually be able to function with PowerDVD. To get it running without the double presses, you will need to edit the source code and remove all keys but the close PowerDVD and reopen MediaPortal one. Recompile the HD Player exe with the altered source and replace the original exe with your newly compiled one. Done! [/QUOTE]
