For those of you with the SL-6399 it is a HID remote but unfortunately it maps a lot of the keys as keyboard events and not as HID events. You want to see this post on how to get it to work with MediaPortal....

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
