Problem with mce2005 remote

[MikeLerwill]

I have had my system running GBPVR using the hauppauge remote control but decided recently to change over to a micrososft mce2005 remote. I have this installed on my system and have changed GBPVR to use this for input, this side of things is now working reasonably well.

When I change the channel changer option for my capture source to mce2005 I get the following error message

An unhandled Exception has occurred
Value cannot be null
Parameter name type

I attach the detailed information for this

I believe this is a known problem and that it will be fixed in the next release. I'm sure sub will correct me if that's not true...

The 'channel changer' should be set to 'none'. This setting is not about the remote control. It is used for controlling an external box using the IR Blaster included with the MCE2005 IR Reciever.

Yes I understand, My original post was possibly unclear. What I want to do now is use the IR blaster included with the mce2005 remote to control my sky digibox. I assumed that I would need to set the channel changer to MCE2005 ir baster plugin. Is this not correct

There is a bug that stops this working in the current release. As a work around, you'll need to use the .exe channel changer with some third party software like HIP or Girder.
