Yes, that will not work: displayserver 1.1 sends the OLD IR codes, which are no longer recognized by the player software in beta7. Use the "Show Button Codes" display in hijack to see what DS is sending, and then either setup some [ir_translate] for them, or send me the codes and I'll translate them back inside hijack.

Cheers
