Can't get MCE Remote control to work with MediaPortal on XP Pro (1 Viewer)

[thebearnecessiti]

Hi folks, I've just installed MP last week. I got a Remote control for it today but I can't get it to work.

It's a MCE Remote (TSHA-IR01) and I'm running Windows XP Pro (SP3).

I managed to get the drivers installed but I still can't get the remote to work properly.

I installed the drivers by using the instructions in post 9 on this thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/remotes-116/ehome-infrared-transceiver-drivers-29355/

I still got no response so i ended up installing IR Server Suite as recommended in post 71 in this thread https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/remotes-116/how-mce-remote-keyboard-xp-home-4589/index8.html

Now I am managing to get some response on-screen in MP. I think it's sending each request hundreds of times ! for example when I press down it just goes down indefinately.

Has anyone come across this problem before?

any help gratefully received.

Do the remote work in windows.
In notepad should numbers and arrows work.

Note! MCR Remote do not work in Win XP home, only in XP pro and XP Media Center Edition

Hey, thanks for replying, I really appreciate it. I'm getting desperate here.

No, my remote doesn't work windows i.e. it shows all of the exact same problems. I just googled the model number of the remote and some of the images are saying it's a hauppauge remote. I don't know the manufacturer of my remote because it doesn't say it on it. is a TSHA-IR01 remote always definately a hauppauge remote?

Maybe its not an MCE remote after all? Sorry im new to all this and quite confused !

what i press on the remote ---> what happens in notepad

up ---> goes up one place, then immediately ges up again and again constantly and fast, as if im holding it down
down ---> pretty much the only button that works
right ---> this one seems pretty good to actually
left ---> goes left once as its supposed to but then immediately down left constantly as if im holding it down

one - behaves pretty well
two - behaves as if im holding it down
three - behaves pretty well
four - behaves as if im holding it down
five - either does nothing or behaves as if im holding it down

I think you get the idea. Just all wrong and pretty hit and miss.



heres a pic of my remote - http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=ts...148&tbnw=59&start=0&ndsp=9&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0

the model of the usb receiver is - "rxx5000-141e"

any help or suggestions at all are gratefully rceived
