Hi everyone.

First post... and already a question.

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...
