Using Audigy 2 Drive remote RM-1500 (1 Viewer)

[DimkoD]

Hi all, I'm new to MediaPortal and quite happy with it.

I've tried using my Creative's remote with uICE, it's working fine in window mode, when going to full screen
the remote is functioning but the OSD of the pressed keys is flickering and hard to see, is there a solution ?

I tried installing InputDeviceMapper-v0.5 together with LegacyLiveDriveIR-v0.3 but I get an error
about InputDeviceMapper incompatible with the current MediaPortal version, I'm using 0.2.2.0,
I tried version 0.2.3 RC2, I get the same error.
Is there a way to use LegacyLiveDriveIR ?
Is there a better plugin for my live drive remote ? Or should I go back using uICE ?

Last question while I'm posting, can I use WMP as an external player not just for Video, but for Music too ?

Many thanks in advance.

David

If your comfortable putting some money towards the effort you can use a program called Intelliremote http://melloware.com/products/intelliremote/.
It's a 15$ shareware program that will sit in your tray by the clock and translate the ir-commands to keystrokes or launch programs and such. I use it and it works nicely for me hope it helps you out.
