Remote in Hulu Desktop run from MediaPortal (1 Viewer)

[dobyken]

I did a bit of playing around with EventGhost today to enable support for Hulu Desktop when run from within MediaPortal. The fist issue was that using a Vista MCE remote with The Eventghost MP Plugin I had no remote functions in Hulu Desktop. My first attempt at adding Hulu support worked but the MP menus were moving 2 lines at a time meaning both the MP sections and Hulu sections of Eventghost were sending commands. The Solution was to disable the Hulu section when MP was active and disable the MP section when Hulu was active. It's also written so that the remote works when running Hulu Desktop directly. For some reason I couldn't get MP 1.1beta to use the remote without Eventghost and the MP Plugin. Attached it my EG xml file which might save you a few headaches setting this up.
