Hello everyone,

Im trying to get my MCE remote clone to work using the keyboardinput plugin but only have limited success and after scouring this forum for hours on end i've all but given up.
The problem is:
Most of my remote buttons send a keystroke when pressed (as discovered in cmd prompt) so i've had no bother mapping and using 90% of them in mediaportal EXCEPT the back button, start button and volume up and down. When i press these in the plugin nothing happens. I read throughout these forums pages about eventghost so gave that a whirl and absolutely none of my remote buttons are recognised when i press but i noticed the up,down,left,right actually moves the highlighted area around the place. I read a lot in these forums about getting MP to start using the green start button which is also something i'd like to do but the 3rd party trick at the bottom of MP config doesnt work

Any ideas?

I am a total newb at this remote lark so please be gentle. Im not even sure as to whether im using the right route here or not for my remote, see it came with my australian tuner card and the IR receiver plugs into the card itself via jack pin (i've read most are usb). It looks like an MCE remote and works like an MCE remote in MCE but i want it to work fully in MP!

Im on MP 1.2.1 and plugin version 2.4.3.0.

Cheers
