I have tried all different configs but i guess that mceremote plugin is changing the register permanently. Is there another way to fix this?

jhsrennie Wrote:The "Restore default MCERemote settings" configures the remote to use the standard Windows Media Center keyboard shortcuts as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb189249.aspx and these should work both in XBMC and in Media Center.

For example the shortcut for Live TV is ctrl-T. In XBMC this currently just pops up a little message saying "you pressed ctrl-T" because there's no TV functionality in XBMC (yet). When you're running Media Center ctrl-T should open Live TV.

sajberman Wrote:Thank you JR for a fast answer but it is not working 100%...I reset my remote to windows default in plugin. All is working in MCE but in xbmc the mce functions open when pressing the mce function keys (liveTV, Green button, guide etc)

Then i reconfigure remote in plugin as "apply current settings to remote" and now it works fine in XBMC but in MCE the following happens. LiveTV opens recorded TV, Green button do nothing, Guide is ok, dvd menu opens movie library guess that this is ok, recorded tv is ok (opens recorded tv).
I need some help to resolve this, can i do a manual reconfigure of keyboard.xml?

I have this remote:

http://www.amazon.com/MediaGate-Certified-Windows-Premium-Ultimate/dp/B003A9EWK2/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2

It is a mediagate MG-IR02BK but its different from the one listed on the wiki (which I suppose is a GP-IR02BK) and has a few new buttons but is missing the teletext and coloured buttons.

By default my addon sets the Green button to send the keypress ctrl-shift-W. This means it will no longer start WMC. To set the green Windows button back to the default choose the "Configure MCERemote settings" option, scroll down to find the setting for "Windows" and set this to "mce" (without the quotes). Remember to click OK to save your changes as the Settings dialog doesn't warn you if you exit without saving.

Re the Live TV: my addon sets this to ctrl-T, which I thought was the Media Center shortcut for Live TV, but now I look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb189249.aspx I see it doesn't list a shortcut for Live TV. You could set this button to "mce" like the Windows button, but it will then open MCE when you're in XBMC. If you know what the keyboard shortcut for Live TV should be please let me know.

Later: according to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Media-Center-keyboard-shortcuts ctrl-T is the shortcut for Live TV.

for win 7 x64 "other x64 win should be the same & assuming 'C:\'" is where Win is installed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\addons\

for win 7 x86 "other x86 win should be the same":
C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons\

edit: ohh sorry did not see you sorted it out :o

cheers,

The addons folder wasn't in my xbmc program files folder so I created an addons folder and put the whole plugin.program.mceremote folder in there. When I tried to add the source in XBMC, it wouldn't recognize the script; nothing would happen (I could browse the resources folder but not install.)

I then put the file in my AppData\Roaming\XBMC\plugins\Programs folder as I was instructed to from this page. When I try to install from that way, I get a "Script Failed" error. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

elitegamer360 Wrote:No need for all that work Dharma RC1 has this add-on officially added to it. All you have to do is download it from the addons and xbmc will install it for you.

Awperator Wrote:Thank you for the reply. Hopefully this is the last question. Where exactly is the plugin? I'm checking in programs -> SVN Repo installer -> xbmc-addons -> plugins -> programs... but then I only see google reader, metacritic, and utorrentwebuicontroller.

Thank you so much!
