Gerard, to my current findings there are a couple of things to keep in mind :

1. Don't mangle with the remore settings (IR Server Setup), or otherwise the system will tell you to reboot, and then things get vague.

That already happened to you ?

2. Keep looking at those 4 registry entries. They tend to disappear ! I feel this is related to the above, and when IR Server "thinks" it cannot operate, something is shut off, and at a reboot the entries come back. *Then* for sure it worn't work anymore. So, remove those entries again, and of course again reboot. Next because of 1 happened, you'll have to mangle in there again, and the first thing what happens, is ... well, the same. I spend 45 minutes yesterday on getting it running again, with my PURE LUCK that I already knew it could work. Still it took me 45 minutes.

2a. Always use the Translator to test whether the remote is still working. Don't do that and you will be blind.

3. It is easy to receive a message : "IR Server will be restarted to reflect the changes" (similar). WRONG. It doesn't restart; sometimes just nothing happens, sometimes it has gone, but it never restarts. So, when you see this message, always do it yourself (remove it with Taskmanager, and restart it).

4. Keep in mind the remote itself is important. I know now ! So, the König is (officially) as compatible as the Philips, but the Philips is official and the König is not, and wonder oh wonder, the König does not work. Also keep in mind you must have version 2 of the MCE remote, might you have an official one.
Note : I guess all remotes can get to work, but there you are again : 2 variables at least (if not 10) once you didn't experience one situation working.

5. Now I think of it, the IR Server Configuration shows a checkbox for Transmit. If you don't have that, it should be unchecked of course. I hope this doesn't incur for #1 above. But if so, you know what to do (and always keep on checking those registry entries after a reboot !!).

6. An important very first check might be : does MCE even work !!? It should right out of the (remote) box. So, if not (press the green button), the remote doesn't work in the first place. Actually this should be #1. But KEEP IN MIND : MCE only works when those 4 registry entries *are there* (see my earlier post how they are called and what values they must have).
a. When MCE starts (green button) IR Server won't work (or can't work) but the remote works.
b. When MCE is out of the way (delete registry entries), IR Server should work. Without knowing/testing a. you're blind.

7. Lastly, look below. If the first line (eHome) doesn't look like that, you can just as well forget it I think. The "MCE Remote" you chose in the Configuration will communicate with this driver (device), and no other. If you have something else there, I'd (pray a lot and) remove the USB dongle, uninstall what you see, reboot, hope nothing showed up again, and pop the dongle in again. If the same turns up again - bad luck.
In case of bad luck, try to find the eHome driver (I have no idea where to look), choose upgrade driver, and point at the .inf file (by means of "have disk" !!). If it doesn't dig it ... you have a different remote. Next I would never go the route of adding the remote via Configuration (btw, where is the help file of IR Server Suite ??) if I had some self confidence first and knew how things look like when it runs. Better get yourself that Philips for EUR 25 ! (look hard and you will find it for less than 20, but getting the receiver is a tough job).

One more thing : in order to make the start of the repeat last longer, you'd *have* to dive into #1. Also, the 450ms it standard is at, is too low (I set it to 1500). So, once you're into that, take a deep breath and expect some 10 reboots to do.

Last night I have been using it flawlessly (Unattended only) and 100 times better and more reliable than my (EUR 1200) Pronto (which never worked correctly with WiFi).

HTH !
Peter

Peter,

I have MCE version 2 which worked ok with MCE, Imon (partly) and dvbviewer with an extra plugin.
I know sometimes you have to stop a proces to stop MCE to react to the remote.
With IR-server I don't know yet what to do with Translator, can you give a screenprint of this?

BTW, you first tried HIP with the replacement driver? I think this can mess up your setup/registry?

I'l try it tonight again and check your tips, but don't make SeVered angry, please!

Yes, I tried HIP first, but that doesn't matter (Update the driver -> automatically, and all is fine again).

See below; while that small screen is waiting, it should receive a keypress from the Remote, if it is working.

About SeVeReD ... I've done a lot of useful things today. Not with the DAC though ...
