[QUOTE="globaldonkey, post: 269780, member: 49844"] My interest in using IRSS is that cybrdisplay will not work properly with the IMON software. The IMON software is fine if you don't want any display information from MediaPortal. When cybrdisplay runs, (at least on my system and several other posters) it kills the remote, and the current workaround is to minimise MediaPortal, start IMON frontview and stop it again. This gets the remote and the display working again together. cybrmage spent a lot of time trying to solve this problem, and eventually decided the best course of action was to develop an IMON remote driver and include it in IRSS. Soundgraph also change the behaviour with different releases in unpredictable ways. With the V6 drivers, my system works as described above, with the V7 drivers (and cybrdisplay enabled) I can't get the remote to work properly at all. It is crap software that needs to be avoided. The hardware / firmware is also flaky because any Direct X access to the device cause it to intermittently reset. FYI, I persevered with Soundgraph's iMedian / iCaster rubbish for a while until I discovered MediaPortal a few years ago. My biggest disappointment was when my Silverstone case arrived and I found it was using iMON. They don't publish that info on the Silverstone site for perhaps the obvious reasons. My next HTPC case will NOT use iMON. [/QUOTE]
