I have a non-genuine MCE remote and about the only buttons that work are up/down/left/right/OK. I still need to use the keyboard to navigate out of fullscreen video as the remote doesn't generate an ESC on any buttons (it generates a backspace when the Back button is pressed).

So I have a couple of questions :

1 - Is EventGhost supposed to work with version MP 1.0.0.0 RC1? It didn't seem to.
2 - The "genuine" MCE remote doesn't look like it's available in Australia. I don't want to go through the hassle of buying one from the UK if it's going to be as big a wast of space as the Chinese carp I have now. Again, for 1.0.0.0 RC1, should buttons like back, stop, play etc work on a genuine Microsoft remote?

Thanks

I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector.

Hi there, since I changed TV and HTPC's CPU, I'm wondering if this guide: Guide could be considered still good today, since it's been almost 13 years since then and it's still referring to a resolution of 1080p? I say this because I have a new Panasonic 4K HDR TV, and with that settings, even if I have an old Gygabyte GPU (bought...

I compliment you on the thoroughness of your investigations. (y) Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas what the problem might be. :( Perhaps someone else will post with some suggestions. :unsure: -- from CyberSimian in the UK

That could have been useful alternative to the CEC Remote, shame they stopped making the Harmony. I have not given up completely on the CEC Remote, there is an option to trigger putting the TV and AVR into standby when MP closes which I want to try, currently I do not have that enabled as it means both video and audio devices will be...
