I'm new to MediaPortal and IRSS both. I have a Hauppauge 1600 tuner card which has a IR blaster of it's own and I also have a standalone MCE blaster kit. I've tried both and either way I get "IR server is not setup to support learning".
I'm running build 1.4.2.4068 (and I've tried a couple older versions which work even worse).
Am I missing something a setting or is this just not compatible with Win 7 and/or 64 bit???
Here is my ir server.log contents if that helps....
