Just wondering if the Xbox 360 Universal Remote will work as a Microsoft MCE Remote replacement? I have an existing MCE remote and IR/eHome receiver, but the the Xbox 360 one looks nice! 8)
Friend gave me his Xbox 360 Universal Remote from his HDDVD player. Unfortunately, the arrow/OK buttons don't work. All the others seem to work though.
Finally got this working. You need to edit your registry, from a MS Dev's blog:
Set Remote Control ID - To enable your Media Center to respond to a specific remote control ID do the following; 1. Press and hold the DVD Menu key on the remote then press a number button (1-8) for 5 seconds. Remotes with visible LED signal indicators will blink twice to confirm the change. 2. Enter that same number below. 3. Save. 4. Restart the Media Center PC. Note: To enable Media Center to respond to all remotes use the number 0. A reboot is required for this setting to take effect.
* Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da
* Registry value - CodeSetNum0
* Registry value data type - REG_DWORD
This setting also requires deleting the following registry values:
* Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da
* Registry value - CodeSetNum1
* Registry value - CodeSetNum2
* Registry value - CodeSetNum3
Did the above changes and my X360 Universal Remote works with MP just as my MCE one did. I now have more buttons too. I think I should be able to add the buttons that are not already mapped to something.
UPDATE: ch/pg up and down are different codes from the regular MCE remote. I edited the custom Microsoft MCE.xml file pageup code from 18 to 108, pagedown code from 19 to 109. Works great.
Original Blue button is 94, changed to 104 for X360 Remote
Original Green button is 92, changed to 102 for X360 Remote
I recently installed 2.4.1. Can anyone tell me why my IE remote does not show up under Input Devices (I show only "WiFi Remote," which I do not have)? Device Manager lists Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver as working. I find the MP2 documentation quite confusing as to whether a plugin is needed or whether MP2 is supposed to work...

I think I've solved the remote button issue, there was an unknown driver in Device Manager which I discovered was the Serial IO GPIO driver. Installing that appears to have solved the remote problem. Who knew? Thanks to all who contributed to my solution.

I've made a workaround using Autohotkey. If you don't want to install that should this problem arise for you, you can use my compiled .exe and add it to the autostart folder of Windows 8.1 and above.
The functionality then is, when you press the Volume Up button on your MCE remote, this will send ALT+TAB to your HTPC, bringing...
