[QUOTE="JulianBuss, post: 144532, member: 10499"] I disconnected my infrared keyboard again and rebooted. Then I checked windows device manager; there are serveral entries related to the MCE as "HID device" and one "unknown HID device". The "unknown HID" remains even when I disconnect the MCE and the infrared keyboard. I assume that the "unknown HID" stands for an internal receiver for the Apple remote; since I use the MacMini it would be a logical explanation. So on first sight that could be the reason for the weird behaviour; perhaps that Apple remote receiver disturbs the MCE receiver somewhat... but then another question occurs: why does the MCE work perfectly with the MP build in MCE support, but not with the MCE replacement plugin (remember: when using the MCE replacement plugin one press on a MCE key results in two actions in Mediaportal). I think next action for me is to install the latest Apple drivers, perhaps that "unknown HID" will be gone then. I will try to do it on the weekend. If you have any other idea in the meantime I will be glad to read it :-) [/QUOTE]
