[QUOTE="Webcomber, post: 33079, member: 17719"] I have the same problem/wish... to use my MCE Remote (Eu version) to control MP while it does not have focus, and on the secondary monitor. I used to have (up to last week) WinXPpro, all setup and great, but I crashed it. :evil: Now I run everything from WinXPMCE2005. All still works, however, when I press the green button MP does not get full focus, in the task bar its color changes to ORANGE! Never seen a win app do that, it's either light-blue when out of focus or dark-blue when the app has focus. Some sequence of keypresses on the remote (haven't figured out which ones) finally give MP focus. OK, so I want all Remote input sent directly into MP, even if it does not have focus. I tried HIP, very neat, very easy to setup and I used the special drivers to unhook the MCE Remote from the system keyboard. HIP will bring the target app in focus and send IR input as keystrokes input into the app. However, this leaves MP in focus and the user of the other apps on the pimary screen has to sit back and wait for the family to finish their MP browsing.... :cry: Does anybody know of a way of making this work? Ie. does MP accept COM input (output possibility of HIP)? If so, how? or, is there a way to trick HIP or Girder to send OUTPUT as - USBUIRT? (USBUIRT will only see its own hardware (+driver)) - SerialUIR? - WinLIRC? as MP can accept all of these. OR... maybe my best suggestion except it involves effort from others: [i]What would MP developers think of supporting the special MCE remote drivers as used by Girder or HIP?[/i]Downloadable from [url=http://burningzeroad.free.fr/MceIrApi.rar]here[/url]. And would that give me (us?) what I want? I'll be happy to help testing! I use MP v0.2RC2. No CSV's. [/QUOTE]
