Hi
I use XBMC with Eventghost:
1.- I reinstalled mce driver found at this web, to replace eHome driver that windows install.( http://www.eventghost.org/wiki/MCE_Remote_FAQ )
2.- I open Evenghost, add XBMC plugin and MCE remote plugin.
3.- I configure buttons.

At this point, XBMC reply well to my config. But there is something wrong. I have XBMC in xbox, and his remote. In that case, I browse at xbmc menus keeping push UP or DOWN buttons. This makes that the focus or cursor moves through elements so fast.

At Evenghost + MCE remote is very nasty this. I can't keep pushed buttons. To move UP or DOWN, I have to release button in each movement. This is very slow and unusable to browse through a screen with multiple elements (like a folder at LAN with 20 or 30 mp3 or videos).

The only configuration that I see for this, is at MCE plugin properties, here there is a option to specify numeric valor. This is set by default to 0,15. I change this with some tests....for Example :

- With >= 0,15 : UP button, if I keep press, only one UP action is done. I have to press and release for each UP that I want to make.

- With <0,15 = UP button, if I keep press, multiple UP is done (perfect) but... If I press and release to make only one UP, 2 or 3 UP actions are triggered.

I test with all range 0.00, 0.05, 0.10... But there is not any config that works so well. I disable and enabled HID from this screen too, but there is no result.

I want same funcionality like XBMC in xbox and his remote... Is this possible?

You have to disable (either within XBMC context or altogether) Eventghost's emulation of the keyboard. Otherwise you get multiple presses per button.

mmm
I found another workaround.
I add for UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT ( or any other button that I want to make this feature) the action AutoRepeat. With this action added in each element, repetition works well.

Thanks a lot.
