Your EventGhost installation isn't configured to do anything with your remote key presses yet. Are you still able to use the arrow and OK buttons if you shut down EventGhost?I've never used a MCE remote so I'm not an expert on this. I just use any remote with my USB-UIRT and that will do nothing unless I configure EventGhost so I think it is a much simpler approach <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Now if you wish to control EventGhost with your MCE remote rather than MediaPortal directly you need to somehow disable the service that's currently handling its key presses. I think this is more of a EventGhost issue so you might get some help over at their forums.The <a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/8_Remote/11_MCE_Remote" target="_blank">MediaPortal MCE remote settings</a> does already have all keys mapped. If you wish to use EventGhost instead you need to disable MediaPortal's MCE support. EventGhost doesn't have any remote buttons mapped by default so you need to map them manually. Start by adding the MediaPortal plugin in EventGhost. You get an option to add all MediaPortal commands to your EventGhost configuration which you may then add your triggers to.EventGhost doesn't have to communicate by IP address to control MediaPortal. Simply add the MediaPortal plugin that comes with EventGhost. It will use Windows messages to control MediaPortal. No need to configure any port or IP address.About your screenshots:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">EventGhostPlus Inputmapping - you most likely won't have to change anything here. It offers a way to change the default key mappings such as if you'd like to change the back button to close MediaPortal or something like that.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">EventGhost MediaPortal message sender - you most likely won't have to change anything here. This plugin can be used to <a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/EventGhostPlus#Messages" target="_blank">send a message to display in a MediaPortal popup window</a>.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">EventGhostPlus settings - do you not have MediaPortal and EventGhost installed on the same machine? If you do you can change to Send mode: Submit events locally.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">EventGhost plugins - looks like you're missing a MCE remote plugin which means EventGhost will not receive any triggers from your remote.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Message plugin setup - I do not know what this is. Where did you find it? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">EventGhost's MediaPortal plugin - this plugin will send commands to MediaPortal. You can try it out by selecting on of the MediaPortal macros or actions added to the MediaPortal folder of your EventGhost configuration and pressing F5.</li> </ol></blockquote>
