Ongoing MP not going into S3 Standby (1 Viewer)

[blue]

First of all hello and thanks to everyone contributing to this great project.
Now that I have build and set up my HTPC I have two last problems which prevent it to be put in its place to be - the living room....

Here is the technical specification of my system:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
Mainboard: ASUS AI A8N SLI Deluxe
GPU: Nvidia HD 8600GT
RAM: 2Gb
Remote: IMon Inside PAD
OS: Windows XP Professional x64

First (and major) problem is, that I can't put the system into Standby (S3) from MediaPortal.
I have searched this forum and have found a few hints but none have solved my problem.
I have all buttons configured via the IMon Manager and MP set up to use HID remote.
When I use the Power Button of my remote under Windows all works fine. The strange this is, that when I'm in the MP home it sometimes works, but most of the time not.

Second problem is, that the MyTV, MyMusic, etc. buttons of the remote don't work. They are also configured in the IMon Manager.

Can anyone help who also has the IMon remote running and working????

Case with integrated IR-reciever? (Ie. Antec Fusion).

S3: Try searching for MCE standby tool in the forums

Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes, its an IR receiver in a floppy format connected to the ATX Power supply.
Does the MCE standby tool change the way MP listens to the IR events?
MP seems to register the event, hangs for about 3secs, and is then responsive again. It seems to 'try' to go to standby but doesn't always (but sometimes) manage it.

I will try out the MCE standby tool this evening and will post the result in this thread.

Has anyone an idea on why the MyTV, etc. buttons on the remote have no effect?

Well, with the Antec version of this, it is not a REAL MCE IR-reciver, but only accepts remote signals as keystrokes.

Mapping: You have to set it up in the iMon software. Make a MP profile. Reas the keystrokes needed to get you to where you want. You find this in setup.exe -> general

Thanks Spragleknas, the MCE Standby Tool did the trick
Just the key mapping will not work. In the Configuration under the shortcut for e.g. MyTV is 'T' - same as the mapping for the Imon remote. But I get no reaction....
