Genius 300 MCE Remote (1 Viewer)

[hitjock]

Hi all MPO fans,

I have been working on my HTPC's already for a while and have solved most of my issues by seacrhing and reading the forum, thanks for all your contributions!
However, I came across a problem that I cannot find a solution.
I have a GENIUS 300 MCE remote. I enabled MCE remote and extended logging in the remote configuration.
Some buttons work, some don't.
In my logfile I see:
2012-02-10 09:08:20.991000 [Info.][(8)]: MCE: Incoming button command: Up
2012-02-10 09:08:21.002000 [Info.][(8)]: MCE: Command "Up" not mapped
2012-02-10 09:08:24.577000 [Info.][(8)]: MCE: Command "ChannelDown" mapped
2012-02-10 09:08:24.674000 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: TVHome:OnPreviousChannel()
and yes, when I check the button mappings in the XML file, the up/down/left/right buttons are not there.
No problem, I have created entried for these buttons in the XML file, but have no idea what to put in the Code for these buttons?
<button name="Cursor Up" code="0">
Example for the "stop" button:
<button name="Stop" code="25">
Where can I find the button codes? I have tried the keyboardinput plugin, but it doesn't show any key codes when I press the keys on the remote.
Since mediaportal is reporting the correct buttons in the logfile, someone will know the correct key codes for the XML, right?
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

I think your remote is a HID device, could be wrong, in Device manager can you see ehome irreceiver (usbCir) under usb section.

Hi Ray,
Thanks for your reply.
I cannot get this to work under W7 Ultimate... it seems that the MCE keys are not send to Mediaportal, while in Mediacenter all works fine.
The remote is recognized as ehome, as it should be.
As a last resort I installed evenghost and the messageplugin.
Now all works as I want after mapping the buttons in eventghost.
Messageplugin and eventghost is strongly recommended for anyone having trouble to make an MCE remote working with Mediaportal.

Glad you got it working, even though this installs as a ehome receiver, suspect it uses windows keyboard shortcuts to access the different parts of MCE, instead of the actual ehome codes for mce keyboard and remote as seen below, this really does cause everyone a problem

I'm lucky i still have these working + a spare remote or two
