[QUOTE="hoverdonkey, post: 833919, member: 83678"] Great, glad I can help someone else after slogging through to a solution. In a nutshell, I got all the remote buttons working using EvenGhost (an open-source remote utility) using its built-in "Keyboard", "Generic HID" and "MediaPortal" plugins. The latter requires the "Message Plugin" plugin be installed in MP for it to work. So, you need to download & install; [LIST=1] [*][URL="http://www.eventghost.org/downloads/"]EventGhost[/URL] [*][URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/messageplugin-for-mp1-2"]Message Plugin[/URL] for MediaPortal [/LIST] In EventGhost, add the "Keyboard" plugin and [U]three instances[/U] of the "Generic HID" plugin. When you go the config of the HID plugin you will see why - our remote appears multiple times (shown as "HOLTEK"). All instances of the device in this list have identical descriptions, so I entered "a" in the event prefix for the top one, and "b" for the second line and "c" for the third to see what was going on. Once you have started all the input plugins, start mashing away on the remote and you should see that all button presses give a response (in the left-hand pane of EventGhost screen). NB I disabled Windows Media Centre in Windows 7 Control Panel as some buttons will start it. Now add the "MediaPortal" plugin in EventGhost. You need to map all the button presses to the relevant MP action (press the button, then drag and drop it from left hand pane onto the MediaPortal action). Make sure you have installed the "Message Plugin" plugin in MP or it won't work. Also, I disabled all aother remotes in MP Config. I have attached my EventGhost config file - if you are lucky, this might work for you and save you having to map the buttons. Also attached is a pdf with the mappings etc listed, in case it helps.
