[QUOTE="DaBIGOne, post: 984060, member: 118220"] Looks to me that you have 3 options: 1. Use the MediaPortalMessageSender in combination with EventGhostPlus in Mediaportal (not advised when using the sent messages as the main controller for your HTPC). For this option you are on the right track (provided the remote is triggering events in EventGhost), you only need to configure EventGhost. Also make sure you have the ports configured correctly, Event Receiving in EventGhostPlus and MediaPortalMessageSender in EventGhost need to use the same port. Now you need to create a macro (right click, add macro) and select MediaPortalMessageSender -> SendRemoteButton. select a button, like the OK button. now press the OK button on the remote EventGhost will show you an event in the left screen, drag that event to the macro and the OK button will be sent to Mediaportal when you press the OK button on the remote. 2. Use the MediaPortal plugin in combination with EventGhostPlus in MediaPortal. When you are going to use the remote extensively (more than just a pause or resume or something when an event triggers) it's advised that you use the MediaPortal plugin from EventGhost (locally installed on the HTPC). The MediaPortalMessageSender sends messages over the network (TCP/IP) and the other plugin sends the remote buttons directly to the plugin by way of Windows Messages between applications, this is quicker and more stable than a network connection, thus you would be able to use the buttons on your remote faster. Also it's easier to configure because when you install the MediaPortal plugin it will create a macro for every button available and you can set it up quicker. 3. Use the built in support for the MCE remote in MediaPortal. You don't need EventGhost, EventGhostPlus or any other plugin as MediaPortal supports a MCE remote natively. Option 3 is the best option, but if for some reason your type of remote will not work natively in MediaPortal you should use option 2. The MediaPortalMessageSender is for incidental communication between your server (if you have one) and your HTPC (EventGhostPlus plugin in MediaPortal). Hope this helps you, Happy Ghosting :) [/QUOTE]
