    There we have a problem.
    The patch does fix the MCE Remote support on Windows7, but it completelly breaks support under Windows XP.
    So the patch just shifts the issue from Windows7 to WinXP. :(

    could you rework the patch so that the MCE Remote will still work in other OS'es than Windows 7?

    :D

    just checking compatibilty with XP.

    Won't be compatible with Vista nor XP. But that was already known as current one is not compatible with Windows 7 :p

    We need just to modify the patch to allow different behavior, based on the OS version detected.

    Hmm, sorry. I d'not know that it does not work under WinXP. I not autor this diff. Simply user who make him, offline many time. I wrote him.

    Thats completely ok, as I already stated in the different thread (where I requested for the patch) that we will handle the OS version conflict ourselves.

    Even I'm skilled enough to write few IF statements in the C# to separate few code blocks to be run based on OS version :) But first I need to get a new PSU to be able to start up the dev PC.

    If you use a VPN connection to your home network, you should be able to use the MP client to connect to your server natively instead of using MPExtended.

In past versions of MP, like 2.4x, I could press the More Info button on my remote twice, and on the second press, an option for showing/choosing the subtitles was listed. I'd select the...
