Hi Patricon,
Thanks for the response! I tried out EventGhost, but (using the keyboard plugin), it also didn't log the special function keys for TV, Music, Pictures, etc.
Just for clarity, it's the RF keyboard (RK0410) that came with my Scaleo E that I'm trying to get working here.
My remote works fine using the standard "MCE remote" selection in MP's configuration. All I needed to add was the MCE Replacement tray so I could use "the green button".
Any other ideas what I could try? According to FSC, the keyboard input also gets processed through the IR driver, even though it's an RF device. In device manager, it just appears as another USB HID.

P.S. After further research I discovered the HIP plugin for EventGhost, which revealed not one, but 3 entries for the RF kbd. All of them reported events from the keys in question, but only one was able to distinguish between the different functions. This opens the way to the solution you suggest above. A more elegant solution would be to used the MediaPortal plugin for EventGhost mentioned here. Unfortunately, my searches haven't yet turned it up. This post in the EventGhost forum says it is included in EventGhost 0.3.6.1108, but the version I found for download, 0.3.5c build 908, doesn't include it. Any idea wher to get the newer EventGhost?

P.P.S Turns out that the version mentioned above is a beta, available here. I'll report back as soon as I've tried it out.

P.P.P.S. The event macros now all fire properly in EventGhost. EventGhost even complains, if MP isn't running! Unfortunately, the MP plugin commands seem to have no effect on MP. Attached is the resulting XML file from EventGhost.

SysOp(s) feel free to move this post if you want, it's gotten a bit off-topic.
