MP+IR server - channel up/down triggers twice (1 Viewer)

First I'd like to thank you for this software.

I'm using IR server 1.0.4.2 (preview 6), and an MCE remote (comes from PVR 150 MCE kit). Mediaportal 0.2.3.0. I have an STB which I control using the TV2Blaster plugin.

For some reason the MCE ChannelUp/Down in MP jumps 2 channels up/down (and I hear 2 beeps from Mediaportal) - I can't seem to make it jump one channel as it should. The Volume Up/Down beeps only once so it seems to be OK.

I tried WinTV and the ChannelUp/Down works OK - so that rules out the remote. I couldn't find the keyboard equivalent for ChannelUp in MP so I'm not sure if the problem is in MP or in IR server.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Raanan

More info - I looked at InputService.log and it only registers one event for 31725 (MCE ChannelUp) - so I guess the problem is in MP.
Maybe MP is registered twice for this event? so it receives it twice? If so how come it doesn't duplicate other keys, only this?

I wonder - I see three registrations for IR server when I start MP (and three Unregister when I close MP) - maybe it is related?

More info: The following lines from MP log suggest a problem on MP side. Given a single "ChannelDown" command, MP jumps 2 channels down (Yes 4 -> Yes 3 -> Yes 2).

GUITVHome:OnPreviousChannel() is called twice in a fracion of a second below...

2008-04-02 22:02:18.765625 [Info.][MPMain]: GUITVHome.ViewChannel(): View channel=Yes 2 ts:True

I think I'll repost the question in MP forum.

It's happening for me too....

...just did the vista sp1 upgrade, and BAM, almost every button I hit, double's it.

    Have you remembered to disable the built-in support for the mce remote in MediaPortal?

    Those log file lines in the second post look like MediaPortal's built-in mce remote support is still on.

    Cheers,

    Thank you Aaron!
    This solved my problem. I'm overwhelmed by the richness of the features in MediaPortal - I'm having too much all together...

    In MP configuration I unchecked "Use Microsoft MCE remote or keyboard" from the "Microsoft MCE" tab in the "Remote" page - and now ChannelUp/Down work as they should (along with the other MCE buttons ofcourse).

    A great application and a great support forum.
    :D
