Please help me to set up IR Server Suite.
I want use Philips SRM5100 remote with case's iMon receiver. Does it possible?
I've install latest iMon sofware from soundgraph website.
I've download :
File Type: zip IR Server Suite - 1.0.4.1.zip (4.46 MB, 8677 views)
File Type: zip IR Server Suite - Test Build 1.4.2 RC1.zip (4.30 MB, 7191 views)
File Type: zip IR Server Suite - Test Build 1.4.2 RC1 - MP Control Plugin update.zip (116.3 KB, 2752 views)
File Type: zip IR Server Suite - Test Build 1.4.2 RC1 - Imon update.zip (66.6 KB, 2033 views)

install in this order, but for some file I don't know where they must be placed.(it's about updates). I've just replace dlls that I can find. But some xmls - i don't.
I can't find any instruction how to install it.

MP Control Plugin config don't work. It just nothing happens when i've press "config" button
IRSS was confugured with iMon with both iMon/MCE modes.
Debug client always say nothing on my remote button pressing.

When I run iMon software and setup it to MCE remote - it work succesfully, but i'm not sure that all the key are working.

Arrow keys, enter and clear are working even IRSS service stopped.

I don't want to use Philips SRM5100 usb receiver because I have "in-case" iMon receiver that I believe must be working with MCE remote.

PS.
POWER button on Philips remote work great with iMon - it can turn ON, SUSPEND and RESUME the PC even if it turned OFF or is SLEEPING. Maybe because iMon's receiver is connected to PWR BTN on the mobo.
By the way - with his own receiver it is working too, but only when PC is sleeping. When PC is OFF - it doesn't.

In advance thank!

if i were you i would forget about using the built in ir reciever as i found it to need the remote to be pointing at directly in front of it to work... however... i got mine working with only the imon software... all you have to do is set up a profile for media portal i think under programme commands... then manually map the buttons ie set mce [play] to equal p or woteva... worked for me...:)

Now I had left that idea and try to use SRM 5100 remote's IR.
But I have a problem when PC start up IRSS logs that "timeout writing to device". I have to re-plug IR and restart Input Service.
When resume pc after sleep all is ok - remote successfully working.
I've found "HID Input Service" and I thought that service had capture IR, but stoping and turning off this service does not help.

I've tryed other drivers(eHome, MCE Replacement ...) - problem stay

Is there anybody who won this problem?

Of course it done!

But on start up PC the IRSS has to be restarted and IR-device has to be replugged.
Then everything works fine!
