[win32] Mediacenter remote partially works with Elisa

[Trey Ethridge]

I have a MS Media Center remote that I'm trying to use with Elisa. It partially works. The up/down/left/right/enter buttons work. However, it has buttons to go "back" that should be mapped to the backspace button and play/pause/forward/rewind that should also be mapped appropriately.

I have version 2, model 1039, Backlight, no colored buttons that I can test with.

I've tested the remote on Windows Media Center 2005 with Elisa 0.5.6 with the results described above. By the way, Windows Media Center 2005 is just a specialized version of Windows XP.

The "back" button should work in the version we are going to release tonight (0.5.15)

Keeping it open for the other buttons.

In Elisa 0.5.20 and 0.5.21 the "back" button doesn't work using a MS Media Center remote on Windows XP.

Only working buttons are up/down/left/right/enter as described before.

Did it work with the previous versions?

[FiereSebastien (sf)]

No

I've downloaded all previous versions since 0.5.14 ant none works (up/down/left/right/enter button always work).

I've deleted .elisa-0.5 before each try.

Can you please follow that guide:

http://elisa.fluendo.com/wiki/Docs/RemoteControls

And attach the resulting .map file?

This bug still exists. I tested it on Windows Vista, MCE remote, elisa 0.5.25. Is there any progress on it?

[FiereSebastien (sf)]

They are waiting for a .map file.

Unfortunately i didn't find time to install elisa and my mce remote on an ubuntu box...

I hope that adding [win32] to the title doesn't mean that the bug won't be fixed in the Linux distribution. I'm running Elisa on Ubuntu 8.10 using the MCE remote and can confirm this bug exists there as well.

This bug is to be fixed but on windows-world only, this time :/
I'll open one more specific for linux (and lirc, i guess).
