[QUOTE="brakepad, post: 262502, member: 73698"] Thanks for the reply. I think I'm missing something fundamental in trying to get this working. No matter what I try in IRServerSuite, it doesn't seem to have any effect on what Media Portal does. I can even stop the 'Input Service.exe' process and it doesn't seem to make any difference to anything. What should I select in the Media Portal Configuration 'Remote' section? Should I deselect everything here and configure it all through the plugin? Here's the log when I select MCE remote: 2008-05-02 23:47:40.640625 - Log Opened 2008-05-02 23:47:40.640625 - Input Service, Version=1.4.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=dc0b77bf2c754d95 2008-05-02 23:47:40.656250 - Info: Starting Input Service ... 2008-05-02 23:47:40.734375 - Warn: No transmit plugin loaded 2008-05-02 23:47:40.750000 - Info: Started in Server Mode 2008-05-02 23:47:40.765625 - Error: Failed to start receive plugin: "Microsoft MCE" 2008-05-02 23:47:40.765625 - Error: System.InvalidOperationException: Device not found at InputService.Plugin.MicrosoftMceTransceiver.Start() in F:\MediaPortal Development\Plugins\IR Server Suite\IR Server Plugins\Microsoft MCE Transceiver\MicrosoftMceTransceiver.cs:line 372 at InputService.InputService.OnStart(String[] args) in F:\MediaPortal Development\Plugins\IR Server Suite\Input Service\Input Service\InputService.cs:line 284 2008-05-02 23:47:40.781250 - Info: Input Service started And here's the log when Custom HID is selected: 2008-05-02 23:48:53.968750 - Log Opened 2008-05-02 23:48:53.968750 - Input Service, Version=1.4.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=dc0b77bf2c754d95 2008-05-02 23:48:53.984375 - Info: Starting Input Service ... 2008-05-02 23:48:54.062500 - Warn: No transmit plugin loaded 2008-05-02 23:48:54.078125 - Info: Started in Server Mode 2008-05-02 23:48:54.093750 - Info: Receiver plugin started: "Custom HID" 2008-05-02 23:48:54.093750 - Info: Input Service started I don't know if it's relevant, but in Device Manager the IR sensor appears as 'USB Composite Device' in the USB Controllers part of the tree, and not as 'MCE Infrared Remote Control'. I have tried to install the replacment MCE Remote Driver by doing a driver update and pointing it to mceir_xp.inf in the MCE Replacement Driver.578 package but it simply says "This location does not contain any information about your hardware". In the Human Interface Devices part of the tree, it adds entries for: HID-Compliant consumer control device HID-Compliant device USB Human Interface Device USB Human Interface Device Again I've tried doing an update driver attempt on these entries but get the same message. The other thing that doesn't tie up with the documentation for the replacement driver is that my registry has no entry for: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr and there is no mention of mceir.sys anywhere in the registry. Which drivers it's using is therefore a complete mystery to me. [/QUOTE]
