FireDTV remote doesn't work in Windows 7 (1 Viewer)

[maarty]

Hi, there is the same situation for me. It was fully functional in WIN7 RC and now in RTM until the latest SVN´s.
it is realy frustrating for me, because it is very important to use the FloppyDTV remote.

And it is the shame, that you said (it is written somwere on the MP site) Fire/FloppyDTV card are the best and you suggested to buy it for MP and on the other hand you have disabled functional thing for many users on that card.

Pleas consider to reenable this.
Thanks.
Martin

I disabled RemoteControl.exe. I just made similar setup yesterday (Windows 7 x64/MP 1.1.0 Final/FireDTV DVB-C with 5.7 drivers, using 32-bit Firesatapi.dll from drivers Tools-folder) and everything works fine.

... using 32-bit Firesatapi.dll from drivers Tools-folder) and everything works fine.

I am having a problem to find the 32-bit verson? In the 5.7 file there are only a x64 and a x86 folder. So in which one is the 32bit Firesatapi.dll?

 

[maarty]

The x86 is 32bit.

AW: Re: FireDTV remote doesn't work in Windows 7

The x86 is 32bit.
Martin

hmm... that is the one I tested yesterday.
What else could I have done wrong?

I've installed FireDTV software. But RemoteControl.exe is not running.
I copied the FiresatApi.dll into C:\Programme\MediaPortal (that is where I installed MP into)
Remote Control was running fine under XP x32 just a week ago. It is not running under W7 x64

Sorry
But not sure what log file is needed. Earlier in this thread configuration.log was looked at. And it has FireDTV entries. So I include this one
