My learned remote commands disappeared during one of the last 2 or 3 updates.  I don't know how or why... but at any rate I "re-taught" the remote with the few custom commands I need (Theater View Home, Jump forward, jump back, etc.).  My "Theater View Home" key will take me to theater view, then displays a large dialog box with the number 529.4168672275352492, with "OK" underneath.  Sometimes the number appears before it takes me to theater view.  I select "OK" and all is good.  It may be a different number each time, but I'm not sure.  Bug?

Theater view.... different number every time.

I can't repro this here.  Which build are you using?

[badger]

87.  I believe this started with 87.... possibly 80.

[JohnT]

What type of IR remote are you using?  Is it just the Theater View Home command that causes the message box?  Could you describe the steps you took to train the Home command so I can follow the same steps to try to repro here?
Thanks,
John

My remote is an Adesso ARC-110. Its a cheap Windows Media Center remote.  The error only shows when I press the yellow button.  I had assumed it was related to where I mapped it (Theater View Home), but that's not the case.  Even if I reset all commands to default, the number box still pops up if I press the yellow button (which on this remote.... has a TV icon on the button).  Haven't had this problem with any other buttons.... and the yellow button works fine with Windows Media Center on another PC.  I've disabled media center on my main MC PC.

It started when I updated MC to either 80 or 87.  After updating MC my remote commands were gone.  I restored several backups (with settings) to no avail.  I re-learned the few commands I need (Theater View home, jump forward and back)... and the number popup started. To answer your question on the steps....Tools, Options, Remote Control, Commands, Start Learning, highlight "Thearter View:Home", press yellow buttom on remote.  It may be interesting to note that I also use a Logitech Harmony remote with a key mapped to the yellow key on my Media Center remote.  The popup also occurs when I use the Harmony,.... which I assumed it would.  For now, I programmed Theater Home to another key, but I'd certainly like to be able to keep the same setups as I update MC.

Looks like its build 87.  I rolled back to 80, no popup.  Re-installed 87....popup came back.

I thought I'd bump this up as I'm unable to use the yellow "TV" buttom on my WMC remote since build 80.  Is there any other information I can provide to help track down what is causing this popup?

Now the same remote button (yellow TV) takes me to last.fm (which I've never used).  MC briefly flashes Theater View Home (which is the command I've programmed), then jumps to last.fm.  Build 80 still works great.
