Problems with MCE Remote since Changing to Windows 8.1 64 bit

[2leftfeet]

... so it's mostly useless with NPVR. T

Mikeh,

I would rate it as mostly useful - everything (channel surfing, volume control, recording control, guide manipulation, pause/resume/skip, etc) seems to work fine with this "MCE-like" remote that I have, EXCEPT, the dreaded "Green" button - which is supposed to start NPVR. Interesting in that if I disable ehome, the remote stops working completely - thereby, leading me to believe that it does use the ehome driver!

I have tried both LMRKM and "Advanced MCE Remote Mapper" to no avail. In

A work-around would be to launch NPVR when Windows starts, after which, the remote works fine.

Glad to hear it works pretty well for you. I had one with the small dongle that looked more like a real MCE remote that I was really unsatisfied with.

If yours needs the ehome driver, then I guess it's something else.

Here's some info from the Kodi forum:

Non-eHome remotes usually send the keypress win-alt-enter when you press the green button and Windows diverts this keypress to open WMC. It is possible to get round this, see http://inchoatethoughts.com/launching-xb...ter-remote for details, but it all gets a bit messy.

And this:

The procedure pcdude describes only works for eHome remotes. See http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Usi...in_Windows for how to tell if your remote is an eHome remote.

Thanks, but, neither of those links provided seem to work for me!
