I am having problems with getting MediaPortal to work with a Microsoft remote, (Pictures of which are attached)
The problem is that I can’t get the volume to control correctly, it will go from zero (or anywhere it starts from) to 100%, with no stops in between, then 100% to zero, again no stopping.
I thought I had come across the answer with Donald J. Michaud’s solution (copied here as I haven’t found out how or if you can link to other post yet (flippin newbie’s))
Donald’s remarks follow:
“I have gone through all of the settings. What appears to have fixed the problem is the HID remote being turned off and the Media settings all being turn on. I am running with MP version 1.12. djm”.
Back to me:
But unfortunately, although it cured the volume problem, I couldn’t use the back button, guide button, Recorded TV button, and a few other buttons,
My system that is having the problem is built on an Intel NUC Pentium N3700 HDMI (NUC5PPYH), 360 Gigabyte HDD.
Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 1511
OS Build 10586.71
Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) N3700 @ 1.60 GHz
Installed RAM 4.00 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
MediaPortal 1.12.0
I’m running it as a client, my server is in the lounge, and that is running quite nicely at the moment (crossing my fingers that I’m not jinxing it right now).
As far as I know, the remote is a genuine Microsoft model, it came with a large sensor that is being used with the server, but the NUC has a sensor built in, that does what it should as it can control other programs such as Media player without any problem.
My thoughts on the matter are.
Do MediaPortal and Windows have their own volume controls, and are they conflicting in anyway? Just a thought.
