Couple of IR, Remote questions.

[trissa]

Just put together my first GBPVR and I would like to first off say WOW this is a very nicely developed PVR. Thanks to all that have worked on it.

I have GBPVR running on a vista 64 and a XP 64 system. The vista system has MCE and I am able to get the MCE remote blaster working with IRSS but it seems that if the system sits for any amount of time the first ir command you try to send will end up being a signal for the channel 9584 which obviously creates me a recording problem. Once its done that first signal it will then start to send the correct signal when called upon.

The XP 64 system does not have MCE as a component. I am unable to get the MCE remote and blaster to work at all. I see the ehome device in device manager but have no success in applying a driver to it.

so here is what I'm wondering.

Is there a HIP solution for X64 platform? I am unable to get hip to run without an error.

Does anyone know if HIP will solve my MCE remote driver problem on the XP 64 system?

Other work around ideas?

I want to say before hand thanks for all help and responses. I do think it is great when people take time to help.

Thanks

Hi trissa,

welcome to the forum,

AFAIK XP64 drivers were never created for MCE remote, I do vaguely remember there may have been some 'hacks' using Vista64 drivers but don't know if this ever worked.....

Cheers

try using the win 2003 x64 drivers with xp 64.....

you may have to manually replace driver from device manager..

You may want to try my software (see signature), some users found it more reliable than IRSS.

Are you seeing the eHome device with an error flag or does it seem to be installed correctly?

The ehome device is question marked. All drivers I have tried are refused by the x64 system.

Trissa, if you can't get a driver to work for the remote you should have other options. Which capture card are you using? Do you need to use the blaster?

Ok. Then I don't think you'll be able to find a driver that will work.

I have multiple different capture cards available. But I don,t have any other IR reciever options.
