As above really, I have a couple of IR receivers to try!

Thanks

I have had a quick look and I can get IRSS to detect all key presses with my Sky UK remote and MCE IR transceiver, now where do I take it from here??

I have done a little more testing today and I have 2 issues.

1, One the HTPC has been put to sleep or rebooted IRSS stops recognising commands, no matter what I press nothing happens, the light on the receiver still flashes every key press......

2, The remote cannot wake the PC from sleep, I think this maybe linked to the first issue?

Any help would be much appreciated.

works!

Dont know why I had an issue with resuming from sleep but it just works now!

Easy to set up, use a Microsoft IR Receiver + install IRSS and manually map buttons!

Cheers

Hi,

Sorry to bring up an old thread. Have you any idea how you managed to get the resume from standby feature to work. I'm using windows XP myself, and I've tried a few Sky remotes on a few different machines. None of them want to resume.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...

In the UK, the EPG transmitted in the DVB-T datastream allows each programme to have two genres -- a primary genre, and a secondary genre (i.e. a subgenre). The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA). The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...
