If you check out this thread about Generic Keyboard/Remote Input Plugin by rsenden, you can use it to uilise all the buttons on the MCE "clone" remote (YaoCoo) without the need for Girder / HIP, ...

I attach a keyboard.xml map file which needs to places into the defaults and custom (don't know why its in both) folders (under Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\)

Keyboard.xml

Some Notes :
- In this version, I've assigned My Tv Series to the <*> key on the remote (note you will need to change the window from 2 to 9811 after you finish editing this via Plugins if you want to use it for my TV Series)
- I've also assigned "Home" to the <#> key, thats because the green Home button actually is interpreted as something else like "Alt-Tab" and does not have the effect you would expect
- I have not mapped buttons that were working ok previously as handled by windows (#s, up, down, OK, mute, volume ..) as it processes them twice.
- For my set-up I've then learnt these commands on my Logitech and hey presto everything working - no need for Girder or anything else.

Hope it works for some others aswell.
