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

It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
