[QUOTE="miguelal007, post: 51966, member: 20428"] Hi, My DELL computer came with a Dell remote control to be used with their Dell Media Experience (DMX) software. This remote looks very similar to the Microsoft one (v2), but the home button is blue instead of green. I believe this is an MCE compatible remote manufactured by Cyberlink. I uninstalled Dell Media Experience and installed Media Protal instead (RC4), since this one is a way better product than DMX. But the remote does not seem to work (only the 'ok' key and cursor keys work, and to go back I have to press the 'clear' key instead of the 'back' one). I also installed mptray (with mphook) hoping that I would be able to start Media Portal by pressing the home button (in this case blue), but this does not work either. However, this remote works fine with Microsoft MCE 2005. Is Media Portal compatible with this remote? Is there anybody else using this remote with Media Portal? Does anybody know what makes this remote so different? I am using the remote drivers that came with the computer. Do I have to install different drivers? This is the information in the Media Portal log file: 08/05/2006 21:49:58 MCE: Initializing MCE remote 08/05/2006 21:49:58 MCE: Found: \\?\hid#vid_046d&pid_c016#6&31e180da&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030} 08/05/2006 21:49:58 MCE: Found: \\?\hid#vid_413c&pid_2505&mi_00#7&185a3d6c&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030} 08/05/2006 21:49:58 MCE: Found: \\?\hid#vid_413c&pid_2505&mi_01&col01#7&96b127&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030} 08/05/2006 21:49:58 MCE: Found: \\?\hid#vid_413c&pid_2505&mi_01&col02#7&96b127&0&0001#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030} 08/05/2006 21:49:58 MCE: Found: \\?\hid#vid_413c&pid_2505&mi_01&col03#7&96b127&0&0002#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030} 08/05/2006 21:49:58 MCE: No MCE remote found - support disabled until MP restart 08/05/2006 21:49:58 running... 08/05/2006 21:49:58 Commandprocessor:starting And if I unplug the IR receiver this is the information I get in the log file when I start Media Portal: 08/05/2006 22:30:58 MCE: Initializing MCE remote 08/05/2006 22:30:58 MCE: Found: \\?\hid#vid_046d&pid_c016#6&31e180da&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030} 08/05/2006 22:30:58 MCE: No MCE remote found - support disabled until MP restart 08/05/2006 22:30:58 Commandprocessor:starting Other information: Area: Media Portal Program MediaPortal Version: 0.2.0.0 RC4 (SVN 2006-05-09) MediaPortal Skin: BlueTwo Windows Version: Windows XP Pro .NET CLR Version: 2.0.50727 DirectX Version: 4.09.00.0904 (9.0c) Audio Codec: MPEG/AC3/DTS/LPCM Audio Decoder Video Codec: MPeg2Dec Filter CPU Type: Intel Pentium 4 Memory: 512 Motherboard: - TV Card Model: - TV Card Type: - TV Card Driver: - Video Card Model: Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 Video Card Driver: - Video Card Resolution: 1024x768 Video Render Type: - Audio Card Model: AC97 Audio Card Driver: - Please let me know if you need any other information to identify the problem.
