Hi

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!

Thanks for explaining. I found a passing reference to this here: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/HID%20Profiles which I had overlooked in the past. I would find it logical for a created custom profile to be automatically activated, but until that happens, I will try to create a wiki page for the current...

You can always try, select any window, turn off the Media Portal, change the ID of the selected one to the desired one (plugin) and check.

Ran into this problem following an otherwise sucessful upgrade from MP 1.34 x64 to MP 1.35 x64 the CEC Remote plugin which I use just to control volume and standby, will no longer put my devices (TV & AVR) to sleep when the HTPC is put in standby. Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...
