[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1256536, member: 141969"] I think that the situation is this: (1) The MP1 package includes a default "Centarea HID.xml" file that resides somewhere in "Program Files". This is the config file that is used to provide the initial definitions if the user selects the "Sceneo" tab in "Remotes and Input Devices" in "MP Config", and the user has not installed my "Centarea HID" support pack in "ProgramData". This config file has never been updated. Consequently I believe that keyboard input won't work (stopped working when Stephane introduced "General HID" support"), and the volume and mute buttons will misbehave in MP 1.22 as discussed previously in this thread. (2) My "Centarea HID" support pack is an attachment in one of the Ortek threads, and includes an AutoHotKey script to improve usability and circumvent some of the quirks of the Ortek. This is the config file that I was intending to change to avoid the volume/mute misbehaviour. This config file includes the fixes that make the keyboard work. However, I changed the button codes of several of the buttons in order to allow the AutoHotKey script to provide better usability. So this version of the config file is [i]not[/i] a straight replacement for the default one included with MP1. (3) The support for the Ortek included with MP1 ought to work straight out-of-the-box, without requiring any additional software (such as AutoHotKey). So I think that what should be provided with MP 1.22 is a config file that: (a) includes the keyboard fixes, (b) includes the volume and mute fixes, (c) includes some changed button actions to more-closely match WMC, (d) [b]excludes[/b] the button-code changes (these pre-req AutoHotKey) (e) [b]excludes[/b] the usability improvements (these pre-req AutoHotKey). If you agree with this, I will prepare a revised default "Centarea HID.xml" for inclusion with MP 1.22 (it may be several days before I can complete this). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
