[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1179040, member: 82144"] Thanks for the new log files. As you say, there's nothing to indicate that MP is receiving commands from your remote. Do you understand that [B]only one piece of software can receive from your remote at any given time[/B]? In other words, if IRSS is receiving the remote button-presses that means MP will be unable to (and vice versa). For that reason, the above description of your previous configuration doesn't make any sense to me. Such a configuration simply could not have worked. The only two functional MP + IRSS configurations that I'm aware of are: [LIST] [*]IRSS Microsoft MCE receive enabled, MP MCE remote handler disabled, IRSS MP Control plugin enabled [*]IRSS Microsoft MCE receive disabled, MP MCE remote handler enabled [/LIST] Problems never start for no reason. Did you update/upgrade either MP or IRSS? Did you install any new software? My guess is that you updated either or both MP and/or IRSS, and in the process lost the vital MP Control plugin from the above config 1. Without that plugin, your remote would indeed stop working. Okay. This clearly indicates IRSS is in control of the remote, and therefore MP's HID remote handler won't be able to receive button-presses. As above. If IRSS is receiving from the remote, nothing else - including MP and the HID Demo - will be able to. I think you have two options for a way forward: [LIST=1] [*]Disable IRSS's Microsoft MCE handler and enable MP's HID handler. This should work because IRSS will no longer be preventing MP from receiving the remote button-presses. [*]Reinstall IRSS. Ensure you enable the option to install the MP Control plugin during installation. Enable the MP Control plugin and disable MP's HID handler. This should work because the MP Control plugin will enable IRSS to pass along the button-presses it receives to MP. In other words: remote -> IRSS -> MP Control -> MP. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
