Hi All,
I am new to Media Portal, and very glad I discovered it. I almost gave up on Media Centres as I could never find one that works for me (until now maybe??)
I have spent the last week searching the net and forums to see if I can find the reason for this issue, but to no avail. It is probably not Media portal specific as I am getting this same issue in Windows Vista media center.
The problem is that my remote “lags”. It is a Pinnicle PCTV Media Center Kit remote. It comes standard with a IR receiver / blaster and installs under the HID devices in device manager as a Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver.
The remote usually handles the first button press correctly, i.e. pressing “up” immediately registers and it scrolls up on the screen. Subsequent button presses has no effect. And then suddenly it registers again and the screen scrolls. This is the case for all buttons on the remote.
I Installed EG and it showed me that the receiver receives every button press, but only every now and then it registers the actual button I pressed (for example “Up”). All the other presses is registered as an UNKNOWN Hex value. Then, suddenly it registers a known command (for example “LEFT”).
Holding the button down also registers once, then a bunch of unknown commands then a known button press and a bunch of unknowns.
I am really clueless on this. No idea why this is happening.
Could anyone possibly shed any light on this?
Thx in advance.
