That looks suspiciously like the Vista only remote, LOL just checked the specs, yep this will work with Mediaportal, but only if Vista is installed as operating system.

just use MPTrayMOD to launch MP from the green button, once you have disabled the mce services.

u mean disable the mce services when i need to install the MPTrayMOD or disable the mce services oll the time ? (how can i do it?)

edit:

i disabled the mce services but the green button still dont open the media portal and the remote is still not fully supported with the media poratl.

The RC197 remote is irrelevant in this case. The IRTrans hardware can interpret ANY infrared remote control, it just happens to come with the RC197 MCE remote.

I have this exact same case working perfectly with MP. You need to install the IRTrans software (download the latest version here), then in MP Configuration, go to Remote, select the IRTrans tab and tick the Use IRTrans Receiver option.

It's also worth following the instructions here to stop repeated commands.

The default IRTrans installation is setup to act as a MCE remote, so all the buttons will perform in MP the same as an MCE remote would.

As for the green button, I must admit, I haven't tried it, but my MP config runs at startup anyway, so I don't need it in my setup. With Vista Media Centre disable, it just doesn't do anything.

Although, I'm pretty sure there is a way of configuring IRTrans to launch it somehow, I just don't know how.

I have big problems with this combination. Do you have to enable "use microsoft MCE remote or keyboard" in the remote config of MP?

I started a thread here and am still hoping for someone to help me:

Hi,

I'am using a S16V but the IR module/driver should be the same. I had to install port95nt.exe to get the VFD running under WinXP. Please check also if you configered the display port in the MP MiniDisplay plugin as "localhost".
