Thanks for your replies and suggestions!
1. I've downloaded and installed the iR Server plugin. After a bewildering array of options, I let it detect the remote itself. It detected it as the Microsoft MCE Remote. Went into MediaPortal - yup, still no up, down, left or right.
2. I've added the Movies and TV Shows folders to the database. The program hung for a second, then came back. No change whatsoever in MediaPortal itself. |
