Hi there, I am a new user to NextPVR and currently have version 3.5.7 installed.

I used to use WMC but since that was dropped in Windows 10, I decided to use NextPVR. I've been reading the forums and making some progress but there is one setting that I can't seem to get to work, assuming I understand it correctly. Under SETTINGS - MISC2 - I have enabled the options "Handle MCE Remote Events" and "Start NextPVR with MCE Remote Green Button" as I was expecting this launch/open NextPVR when I press the "big green button" on my Windows Media Center Remote however nothing happens. With those options set, shouldn't that open NextPVR when I press that button on the remote or am I missing a configuration option somewhere? Just curious if this works for other people.

Thanks!

I believe that this function only works when NPVR is running, it cannot start the application, only bring the window into focus if it is already running.

The approach I've taken is to use the MCE Advanced Keymapper (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=164252) to change the green button to send an unused keypress (CTRL-ALT-L).

I then use Eventghost (http://www.eventghost.org/) to detect the keypress and start NPVR and also make sure the window is in the foreground.

I'll second the use of MCE Advanced Keymapper, works great for several functions, like assigning a key for F7 is you have aspect ratio needs. If MS kept this function in Win10, you can create a shortcut for NPVR.exe and assign it Ctrl-Alt-L as in above, then no need for Eventghost. This works fine for me since I use NPVR exclusively in full screen mode, so no need to ensure it has focus, this might be the function of Eventghost.

shortcut hotkeys only work if shortcut[link] is on desktop..
Win10 doesn't have WMC so i doubt the green button will work out of box...

Instead of a short cut link, place the icon in the quick launch bar at position 1 and then map Windows-1 key strokes. Works in Windows 7 and 8.1, don't know about 10 though

So many ways to skin the cat. Glad MS made it so flexible. Smile
