HIP config cable box please help

[rstewartmailacct]

Hi does anyone have a working hip config on Vista 32 bit for cable box using HP version of MCE remote? I halfway had IR Server working but could not get number entry to work.

This is a picture of the remote if this helps. It has the little square box that connects to usb and has an entry in devices for HID and USB.

I'm having the same problem with IR Server and an MCE Remote. Any ideas?

Hi,

I got it going. I'm using the test preview version of IRServer here -->

There is a fix to overlay in the plugins folder here -->

I'm using a vista 32 bit home premium version on an HP media center PC with their version of the mce remote.

I used the import keymap xml from the wiki here -->

I used the command in the capture source for the channel changer .exe and plugged in this command
-host localhost -pad 3 -channel {channel}

I changed the keys: {num9} to keys: 9

And I went to the drivers for ehome in usb in hid and uninstalled and then scanned for new hardware to reinstall. I also disabled the windows media center services in the server config for irserver under the mce tab.

Good luck! This was a major science experiment :-)
