BUG: Remote Control Issues with newest Build 3.0.5201.16543

If you turn on debug logging and have a look at the log it might help provide some useful data.

 

I will do this and then post back here - might be a couple of days before I can get to it though

@@DevonLad, I use the imon censor as well, only with the imon remote rather then a harmony.

You can set up specific commands for specific programs within the Imon manager.

 

As long as you create a profile for MBT and link the keyboard shortkeys to the right buttons, you should be able to get it working without interfering with MCE.

 

Hope this helps.

That is helpful - I will check this out and let you know how I get on.  Thanks.

 

Edit:

iMon Manager only allows this option if you select 'iMon PAD' (as you have), but as soon as I select 'Media Center', it greys all of the other options out.

It might be possible to program the Harmony to send the correct commands for this, but that is beyond my skill level.

Thanks anyway, it looked promising for a moment.

I don't have a imon so I can't test the specific key issues. If you turn on debug logging and have a look at the log it might help provide some useful data.

 

Log attached, with iMon enabled and the Microsoft Remote Sensor disconnected.

 

As before, the Arrows and OK keys are fine, but Play, Pause, Stop, Chapter Fwd/Back and Fast-Fwd/Back do not work.

 

Hope this helps.

The commands are not getting into MBT's - I would need a imon to go any further.

 

As IMON is reaching end of life, Dare I Suggest $19 on ebay for a wmc remote and usb IR receiver (make sure you get the IR 

receiver, some of the ebay sales are only remotes). I've bought 5 or 6 different remote on Ebay for MBT testing. Most of them 

work ok (some don't)

I have taken an IR Sensor from another HTPC to keep me going with MBT and have already looked to buy another Sensor, but there are none available on eBay UK at the moment.  I will keep looking though, now that I know that is the only fix.

 

Thanks for your help.
