MCE remote XP home HIP buttons not working (1 Viewer)

[dziubelis]

Hello,
Running Windows XP Home, SP3 + Updated. I have HP MCE remote (p/n 438584-001), drivers instelled (eHome Infrared Receiver).
Globaly I can control Volume, Numerics work, Enter, ESC, Back, Mute, Power, probably and most others, cause ShowKey v2.0 returns at least AppCmd.

I edited the registry, not sure if I really needed to, since few buttons worked even without editing or HIP. It just was chaotic, one press would record as if I was holding the key, and lets say scroll indefinetly. Within HIP, the remote is mapped according table from here.

I have ticked in MP configuration to use MCE remote, didn't remap enything. MP will not start with Start button (Tray thingy running). Within MP I have only Arrows, Numerics, Enter (not OK), Back. Volume and Mute works, but its due to being global.
Most essential ones - Play Pause Stop, Next Prew, FF, Rev do not work, along with the rest.

I know a solution would be simply remap remote within HIP especialy for MP, using keyboard shortcuts. P for paly, B for Stop, etc. But there are no keybord shortcuts for Music, Video, Picture. Or are there?

I did search forum, but HIP is not very common around here. And some threads even state that its not possible to install a remote under WinXP Home, which is not true.

I have MP 1.2.2.0 running on Windows XP Pro with SP3 with HIP 3.0.2.12. My remote is different, it is model 1039, version 2 as seen here - so this post may be of no help to you.

My notes from my install:

HIP 3.0.2.12

• Installation file – HipInstallComplete_3.0.2.12.exe
  • Select MCE IR Plug-In
  • Deselect Girder Plug-In
• Launch HIP from Start Menu
  • Next
  • Select Input Device: MCE Interface (HipMCE.dll)
  • Next>Next>Next>Next>Next
  • Add application: C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.exe
  • Next>Save configuration as 'mediaportal'
• Human Interface Programmer launches automatically
  • File>Preferences
    • System Settings tab
      • Check 'Automatically Load on System Startup
    • Alternate Input tab>Add Value
    • Press 'PC' button twice
    • Enter Values manually
      • Description: Close-Start MediaPortal
      • Primary Command: EXECLOSE1
      • Secondary Command: EXE1
    • Delete all other values
• Right-click systray icon and select '1. MediaPortal'

I have set the 'TV' button to power on my HTPC using the 'Learning Functionality' - see manual which can be downloaded here - and assigned the 'PC' button to close/start MediaPortal as you can see above.

I see.
So I actually had to delete the default MCE commands. That is within HIP Start button is now assigned to start the MP. MP tray thingy is kinda obsolete in this case.
I guess I'll just assign keyboard shortacts.

Any ideas about shortcuts for plugins, like OnlineVideo, TV-Series, MovingPictures?

Theres a MP extension that allows you to map keys, I think its called MyKeys...
