[QUOTE="GMan78, post: 505144, member: 97286"] Greetings Team_MediaPortal....I have been a Windows MCE user for five years but sorely dissapointed in it's abilty to be customized and work in a server client environment. I am desperate to make the transition to MediaPortal... However, I can not get IRSS to learn my STB IR codes. I have been stuck on this for 2 weeks and probably 35 hours. I have read and tried every thing mentioned in this forum and others with no change in behaviour/status. My wife is threatening to leave me because of my MediaPortal obsession. I'm at work right now and can/will provide log files tonight( please indicate specifically which ones are needed) ....but here is my situation. I have tried fresh installs of both 32 bit Windows Vista SP2 and Windows 7 RTM on multiple high end PC platforms I am using MCE receiver and blasters. I have tried multiple versions of IRSS (sorry can't recall the exact ones and I would want to be accurate) I have made sure that Windows Media Center services are disabled I have attemped the MCEir.dll patch and GEOV's regsitry edits. I have attemped the MCE vista patch. I have tried other IR brokers such as HIP and Girder. Regardless of these efforts I get the same result. When I go to learn an IR command I get an 'IR command not learned' time out. As soon as I get that error message, when I click OK for 'try again' the dialogue box immediately reappears. I also noted that the TEST button and IR Port designation (i.e. both, 1, or 2) are always grayed out. To add insult to injury, when I attempt an install of Windows 7 Media Center I can complete the entire setup and be watching TV within about 28 minutes cradle to grave, STB remote IR learning and all with no bugs. My wife caught me doing this and said put in MCE and go mow the lawn :bitch:! Any thoughts or guidance is greatly appreciated...I am obsessed to get this fixed. I want "He was one of the first in his community to successfully use MediaPortal" on my tombstone one day.:thx: Best, George Forgot to mention I have also attempted to remediate the issue under multiple versions of MediaPortal including 1.0 Alpha, 1.0 Beta, and 1.02. Sorry, I meant 1.1 Alpha and Beta [/QUOTE]
