I am pretty new to MediaPortal. I have been using it for a couple of months now. I installed the software on my desktop PC and ran HDMI & SPDIF cables through my wall to my living room TV. I've learned so much from this forum and I've been able to search threads and figure out my problems (eventually) as I encountered them.
I had MP installed and working (almost) perfectly on the above system but I was frustrated because the system took so long to boot. I ordered a 120G Patriot SSD to use as my primary drive. I did a fresh Win7 install on the new drive, installed MP using the same settings as I was using and got MP up and running in no time. However now, I have some ir blaster issues that I did not encounter the first time and I can't get by them...
- The remote will always start MP fine with the Green button but then sometimes it seems to lose focus. In the past, I only had to press the MENU button on the remote to restore focus but that no longer seems to work (consistently).
- Sometimes it does not lose focus but the only buttons that work are the arrow keys (skip).
- Other times, it seems like it is sending the codes but they aren't being translated effectively. When this is the case, a double or triple push on the button will get the code sent but this only is useful with something like an EXIT or MENU command, not much good for most commands.
..anyone seen any behavior like this and have any advice for straightening out my remote woes?
