XBMC Builds after June 1st 2012 stopped working with iMON

[Zflash]

After june 1st, the nightly builds of XBMC stopped working with my iMON IR receiver within my Antec remote fusion enclosure. After I start XBMC, iMON just disables itself and when I close XBMC, iMON reenables itself

There is a topic on XBMC forums found here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=134074

I would like to know how to fix this, because XBMC is _the_ best MCE software available and I would like to use all its new features. I'm now stuck with a version before june 1st.

Please advise.

Dear Zflash,

I’m sorry for your inconvenience.
It is related with iMON’s Game Controllers issue that happens with some models and some versions of iMON hardwares. Please check the following FAQ.
http://www.soundgraph.com/forums/faq...ts_gamecontrol

In order to solve Game Controllers issue, it needs FW update. But this iMON product doesn’t support FW update feature. So we suggested disabling iMON device temporarily while playing game.
If there is an option to enable/disable enumerating game controller in XBMC and you can disable it, iMON may work fine with XBMC as before.

Regards,
Johnny Hur

That is really a shame, because XBMC is the only thing I use for this product. Can I upgrade this product in my antec fusion remote hardware wise?

Dear Zflash,

I think your warranty may be expired. But you can buy VFD / LCD product at our on-line shop. Please check the link below.
(LCD product is currently out of stock. And it’s not clear when it is ready to sell this product. When we make the fixed schedule for this, I’ll let you know it through this forum.)

Dear muppet,

Regret to say, if you have the same problem with Zflash, there is no way to fix game controller issue without changing HW.
Please try to disable enumerating game controller in XBMC.

johnny, XBMC developer is asking for advise on XBMC here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php...412#pid1139412

Do you have a list of HW, which is affected of this issue?
I'm implementing a patch for XBMC. Is it possible to filter problematic HW by vid&pid?

[Karlson2k]

Anyone?

Dear Karlson2k,

I really appreciate your support.
The following products using old FW can be affected by game controller issue.
iMON Mini (VERIS E-Z)
iMON Inside (VERIS Basic)
iMON VFD (VERIS Elite)
iMON UltraBay (VERIS Premier)
HTPC ODM/OEM Touch LCD
HTPC ODM/OEM LCD
HTPC ODM/OEM VFD
HTPC ODM/OEM Inside

Regret to say, there is no way to distinguish it with VID and PID. (VID for SoundGraph is 0x15C2)

Regards,
Johnny Hur

Dear Johnny,

Thanks for the answer!
Did I understand you right - the same hardware may or may not be affected on this issue depending on firmware?
How can I get the list of PIDs for possibly affected hardware?

Best Wishes,
Evgeny
