[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1157616, member: 141969"] I don't know whether this would produce the effect observed. :confused: Many people using WMC and MP use remotes and IR receivers from different manufacturers. I suspect that a remote used with an IR receiver from a different manufacturer would either be [i]capable[/i] of working correctly, or not work at all. Those cases where a [i]few[/i] of the buttons do not work correctly are probably caused by incorrect button mapping (either in the remote or in the receiving software), but I don't think that an incorrect button mapping would cause the observed problem. Toggle codes are visible only at a lower level in the processing (i.e. in the microcode in a unversal remote, or in the driver for the IR receiver). IR repeaters attempt to reproduce [i]all possible IR codes, from all possible manufacturers[/i]. So it is not surprising that IR repeaters may introduce errors in some cases. My misbehaving IR repeater dates from about 10 years ago; modern repeaters may not suffer from the problem with toggle codes that mine has. I don't recognise the HID code 0x00e9 that occurs repeatedly in the log file. Stephane will need to review the log to see if it contains any clues. It might also help if the original poster could specify whether: (1) His keyboard is wired, wireless RF, or wireless IR. (2) Manufacturer and model number of: the keyboard, the WMC IR receiver, the WMC remote. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
