Hi doveman,
Not sure if you got this far with yours but I now have the following keys operational in MediaPortal following a clean reinstall of the Media Portal software.
Used Windows XP Pro (SP3) and using no modification to the default drivers installed when plugging in the EMPREX remote USB dongle (shows as USB Composite Device and HID Keyboard in device manager)
I selected the 'Use General HID Device' option for the remote type in Media Portal Configuration and stuck with its default key mappings
The main keys now seem to work -
Power On - Yes
Pause - Yes
Stop - Yes
FF - Yes
Skip - Yes
Replay - Yes
Reverse - Yes
Record - Think so (but yet to install TV Card (but get feedback nosie from MP when key pressed))
Back - Yes
Info - Untested at present
All Arrow Keys - Yes
OK - Yes
Vol Up - Yes
Vol Down - Yes
Mute - Yes
Chan up / Down - Think so (but yet to install TV Card (but get feedback nosie from MP when key pressed))
Number Pad - still to completely test but think is good
Would be nice to be able to remap the other additional function keys (Music, Pictures, Video.... etc) but I have been unable to identify at this stage what these are (from a HID point of view) to remap - they don't seem to generate any output when using Media Portal - Even using the KeyboardInputPlugin_2.0.0.0 by ravenrocks in learn mode, these keys don't seem to function but will continue to investigate in the hope that I will crack it.
Still, have main keys operational for basic functionality for now
** Thanks to JjG for input / investigation with above
