Also tried flirc_util.exe record_api 1 7 (and 16 7 and 17 7) which produced ctrl-d ever so nicely in the command window......but WMC7 wont accept it as ctrl-d. WMC7 sees some input though.....when II move the mouse in the guide-view of WMC, the player controls appear....and disappear when I push the "ctrl-d" button on the remote. Question is: What does WMC7 "see" when I press the button programmed ctrl-d in Flirc? I really WANT to use my new XBOX Media remote to control WMC7. How hard can it be......
