I'm struggling setting up a procontrol setup (prolink.z & pro24.z) to control a pc under windows (MCE / XBMC). First time I'm trying to do so.
The procontrol setup works perfectly to control through IR or RS232 other A/V equipment but it miserably fails to control the pc: the IR receivers seems to pick the remote keypress once in a while only. I have tried - to play with the strength of the IR signal through the processor, - a different IR receiver module, - I even tried a different PC , - different MCE IR code (from the procontrol IR library, from learned IR code, and importing MCE code from here) without more success It is not a debouncing issue: I disabled it in windows registry + the behavior is different: ie very seldom picking up the IR.
Any ideas? Has any of you been successful in controlling a pc through a procontrol setup?
Thanks for your help!
PS: I would have love to go through the IP route if procontrol had made a driver available for MCE/XBMC... but they don't...
