Hi and-81.
First off I'd like to say this plugin is excellent work. There's 'getting the job done' and 'getting the job done with style' and whilst I can't yet get it to work I can clearly see that you follow the second approach.
The problem I'm having is with learning codes from my remote that I want to blast to my amplifier and I hope you can help. Here's a summary of the problem.
I've installed both the driver and plugin from RC4.
When I try and teach the plugin a new code (e.g. volume-up on my amp remote) and I'm then instructed to press the key to be learned, there is no response from the dialog box. The dialog eventually times out and tells me that it failed to learn any code.
Before the dialog times out it is unresponsive, i.e. if I try to close it Windows tells me it is not responding.
It takes about 15 seconds to timeout.
I've also tried teaching it codes from my MCE remote (Hauppauge - it came with the DVB card) and it doesn't respond to that either.
I've also tried the test app. you provided and that doesn't respond to any remote either.
Interestingly, if I choose the 'Different Remote' option in your plugin configuration and then start pressing buttons on either remote then the scan codes for those buttons are immediately displayed, so the plugin can clearly read data from the IR port.
I haven't tried it with the original remote driver because last night I unfortunately made a bit of a mess of trying to replace it ... I'll work it out later if you think it'll help.
Let me know if you need more info. or if you have any ideas about what I should try next.
Thanks for a great plugin,
Keflon.
