I have an MCE RF remote keyboard. The normal keys work fine with MP "out of the box". Only the special function keys (e.g. TV, Music, Pictures) aren't recognized. Since I didn't even find a way to assign these functions in the regular MP Configuration "General - Keys and Sounds", I thought this plug-in might help. Unfortunately, it doesn't pick up the needed keys in "Learn Mode". In fact, the normal "Keys and Sounds" configuration also doesn't respond to these keypresses, even though I had no difficulty teaching it the other special function keys (e.g. Play/Pause, Mute, Next Track, Previous Track) from this keyboard. Needless to say, the "phantom" keys work fine for calling up Music, TV, etc. in XP MCE. Why can't MP recognize them? The keyboard isn't programmable. How can I get these keys to work in MP?

[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 184366, member: 49539"] I have an MCE RF remote keyboard. The normal keys work fine with MP "out of the box". Only the special function keys (e.g. TV, Music, Pictures) aren't recognized. Since I didn't even find a way to assign these functions in the regular MP Configuration "General - Keys and Sounds", I thought this plug-in might help. Unfortunately, it doesn't pick up the needed keys in "Learn Mode". In fact, the normal "Keys and Sounds" configuration also doesn't respond to these keypresses, even though I had no difficulty teaching it the other special function keys (e.g. Play/Pause, Mute, Next Track, Previous Track) from this keyboard. Needless to say, the "phantom" keys work fine for calling up Music, TV, etc. in XP MCE. Why can't MP recognize them? The keyboard isn't programmable. How can I get these keys to work in MP? [/QUOTE]
