    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.

    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.

    It may seem strange, but the open-source license allows anyone to sell physical CDs or DVDs to customers, provided that, for example, the source code is made available upon request and additional value is provided, such as an installation manual. Both of these are mentioned in the product description, so it appears to be legitimate...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.
