When I press the "Recorded TV", "Guide", "Live TV" and "i" buttons on the
MCE remote, nothing happens. These buttons used to work, but now they do
not work. When I press one of those buttons, the red light on the IR
receiver blinks. The problem is not the MCE remote.

A few days ago, the "Play", "RWD", and "FWD" buttons also stopped working. Today, I did a backup of the Sage.properties and the Wiz.bin files. I uninstalled SageTV and then deleted its Program Files directory. I reinstalled SageTV and the "Play", "RWD", and "FWD" buttons are now working, but the "Recorded TV", "Guide", "Live TV" and "i" buttons still do not work.

I think I had the same problem when I was using the non open source version of SageTV. I formatted and reinstalled Windows and it fix the problem for a while.

I formatted and reinstalled Windows 10. I installed SageTV 9.0.3.214_beta0.002 and then moved Sage.Jar 9.0.4.232 to the SageTV directory. I also moved the new STV to the SageTV STV directory. The "Recorded TV", "Guide", "Live TV" and "i" buttons still do not work. I do not think I had this problem with SageTV v7.

I know I didn't touch any of the code relating to handling the MCE remote
from V7 to V9...but maybe it's being built in a way that's causing a
problem...or maybe this is just a Windows 10 compatibility issue. It'd be
very useful to know whether or not this works on SageTV 7 on Windows 10 or
not.

I just upgraded my Sage server and clients to V9 (9.0.4.232) and now I am having the same problem that @49studebaker has described. Note that I am running Windows 10 64-bit and using an MCE remote. I had tried rolling back to previous releases of the V9 Sage.jar, but that had no affect on the problem. As @Narflex suggested, I rolled both the server and client back to v7 to see if the problem was due to Windows 10 or due to Sage V9. It turns out that just moving Sage back to V7 returned the remote buttons to their correct behavior. And after returning to V9 the remote is not working correctly again.

WinDLLs.zip

Can you try replacing the potential offending files from V9 with the files from V7? I've attached the 4 files that I'm suspect of (these are the V7 builds). If that does fix it, then try to narrow it down to which ones are actually needed, since I do not think it will be all of them and probably just one or two that are the problem.

@Narflex thanks for posting the DLLs. After reading your post I realized that the problem was likely due to the fact that I was already using the version 7 DLL's. I did not realize that an installer was available and I had used the instructions from here to upgrade my original installation. After using the installer from github the problem disappeared. There is one annoying thing about the installer, SageTVClient.exe requires elevation to an admin to be run. Does anyone know if elevation is really necessary? I have been using Sage client for years with UAC enabled without problem.

[Cyberdyne800]

I withdraw my previous comment about UAC elevation and the SageTVClient. It seems the latest installer has fixed this issue.

So just to clarify, using the full set of v9 files shipped with the latest installer, the MCE remote is working as expected, as well as the UAC issue? If that's the case, can you close this issue?

[49studebaker]

I replaced the SageTV 9 dlls with the dlls that you provided, and the MCE remote buttons still do not work. I used the latest installer to install SageTV.
