MediaPortal Version: 1.2.3

Description
Remote control receiver: Acer OVU430008/01 - photo
Remote control: MCE RC6 - photo
OS: Win 7 SP1 x64

These buttons do not work:

• green button;
• guidet;
• info;
• My TV and other My ...;

• teletext;
• coloured buttons.

Other buttons working OK.

All the buttons work well in configurations:

3. Another computer (Win 7 SP1 x86) and the same receiver and the same remote control and MediaPortal 1.2.3

2. Press one of the above buttons

In MP's config, do you have the MCE remote control option on?

Yes he has

Firstly, does this show up in device manager as ehome receiver in the usb section.

if so, is there any other ir device enabled, could be a case receiver or even a HID device interfering, ie remote keyboard.

at the bottom of Mp's Config there are the "3rd party checks" which can disable those services if they are interferring. you can use this section in the config to enable those services again easily and cleanly if you use MCE as well.

ehome receiver is show in device manager - remote is working in WMC.
I have a wireless keyboard, but everything works fine in WMC ...
If the device interferes with MediaPortal is how to eliminate the problem?[DOUBLEPOST=1342513570][/DOUBLEPOST]

In the "3rd party checks" microsoft media center services are disabled and MPTray is running.

Yes I know this software, but I'd rather not install it because:
1. problem / bug in MediaPortal remain
2. I do not like to install software that is not necessary

Ok well.. If the correct drivers are installed:

1. The remote u have is not a compatible MCE remote
or
2. The reciever is not a compatible ir reciever

MP comes with the MCE remote code(has been in there for years).
So the problem doesn't lie with MP.

Then why:
- receiver + remote + MediaPortal work fine on another computer?
- receiver + remote + WMC work well on the same computer?
Please look at my first post

The buttons you do not have working are related to the Microsoft ehome remote control keyboard keys, have you got that showing up.
