Tools and other software Forgotten how to trap remote's directional pad in EG (1 Viewer)

[doveman]

I had this MCE-type remote working with EventGhost and Mediaportal on another PC but I want to use it with my current PC now and can't remember what I had to do to get it working.

Most of the keys do work and are mapped in EG to Mediaportal/Message Plugin, it's just the directional keys I can't sort out as they are detected as Keyboard Down/Up/Left/Right and OK is Keyboard Return. So if I enable the Plugin:Keyboard in EG, it does trap them but also disables those keys from working on my actual keyboard, which is not how it was on the other PC. If I disable the Plugin:Keyboard then they're just not detected at all in EG.

There's four devices that show for the remote, so I've added four Plugin:HID:BTC USB Multimedia Cordless Keyboard.

I've disabled the HID service and the MCE Receiver and Scheduler services. I've also zeroed out the RC6 remote registry entry as below:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da]
"CodeSetNum0"=dword:00000000 ;
"CodeSetNum1"=dword:00000000 ;These four values put the standard global windows keys out of function. These are
"CodeSetNum2"=dword:00000000 ;volume +, -, mute and .... windows sleep mode. I so hated that button
"CodeSetNum3"=dword:00000000 ;
"ReportMappingTable"=hex:\

So I'm at a loss now and am very frustrated, so would appreciate any help if someone knows what I need to do.

I've managed to get it working with the WinUSB plugin in EG now

I've attached the script I cobbled together to my other thread in case anyone else can use it https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/how-do-i-setup-emprex-mce-remote.103279/
