I can't seem to get rid of this one problem where I keep loosing remote control access to MediaPortal!! I'm using the Hauppauge 45-Button remote and everything seems to work great - but if for any reason I get out of MediaPortal and come back into MediaPortal, I can no longer control MediaPortal with my remote. Even Alt-Tab (Using keyboard) does not do anything. I JUST DONT get remote control access back unless I CLOSE MediaPortal completely and restart it.

Two situations where this happens every time:

i) If I play an ISO, my external player (TotalMedia Theatre) launches; once TMT quits & MediaPortal comes back on, I no longer have remote control access. I have to exit MediaPortal completely & restart it.
ii) If I put my HTPC to sleep (From within MediaPortal or otherwise); once I wake up my HTPC and if MediaPortal is on screen, I no longer have remote control access. I have to exit MediaPortal completely & restart it.

Following is my remote control setup in MediaPortal Configuration:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    Please turn on the extended logging, start MP in Debug mode (special Start Menu entry) and reproduce the issue. The post the resulting logs please. I am not Haupauge Remot expert - so I might not be able to help much, but without the logs noone will be able to help.

    I haven't the faintest idea what I did (or what happened); but this problem seems to have resolved on it's own. I'm able to get remote control access to MediaPortal after TMT5 closes. It's strange - but I can't complain.

    Thanks.
