Howdy!

I've used USB-UIRT to put together some events that let me control my settop box in the living room from the numeric pad on my keyboard in the study. It works very nicely, so long as I'm in Media Player Classic; but when I switch to MediaPortal I run into trouble, since MeidaPortal interprets all the keystrokes too - and doesn't differentiate between numeric keypad keys and the keys on the rest of the keyboard.

Hence: what I would like to do is to have Girder intercept the strokes from the numeric keypad before MediaPortal can "see" them. How do I do this?

TIA!

Mike

The keyboard plugin can block keys for you have a look at the manual on how to do this. Not sure if it can tell the difference between the numpad and the regular # worth a try though.
