Remote stopps functioning. . .

[czucker]

Hey folks,
Here's my dilemma. . .

I'm using Grider 4, a USB-UIRT and a Radioshack universal remote to control SageTV via sendmessage commands. If, for example, I press press channel up on the remote, then Sage receives the command and tunes one channel up. However, after that first successful command was sent the remote stops working until I move my mouse. When I move the mouse all the buttons that I've been mashing in frustration will be executed rapidly.

I can see the lights on the UIRT blinking so I know it's working. . . Does anyone have any ideas?

This didn't happen with 3.3 and hasn't always happened with 4.0. I really can't say what has changed.

Does the Girder light blink?

Sounds similar to behaviour I see, I do not have a mouse to move thou, and after numerous presses the remote works again

If you mean the "light" on the tray icon, then no. . . It doesn't do anything until I move my mouse.

[Ron]

Hmm, sounds like Girder got stuck somehow. If you press that same button but have that particular action disabled, do the events get 'stuck' then too?

[czucker]

If the particular action is disabled then the girder light doesn't come on at all.

Could this be related to a bad USB UIRT install?

I'm going to remove the driver and reinstall. I will post the results if any.

I have found my issue to be with my remote being faulty I have since replaced it and had no further issues.
