Many thanks CyberSimian... Been using it for a few months now. I prefer the layout of my previous remote, but this works OK. Uses 3 batteries instead of 2, which dont last as long, probably because the main keyboard lights up when you press a button. Thank you for spotting it just in time!

I have MP2 V:2.4.1 I've got the same iPlayer problem. Not sure which version of (Onlinevideos) I have, how do I find out? Do you know when the new version is due for release, and if it includes this fix? Many thanks

Hi, MP2 (V:2.41.1) has been working fine for ages. I have the PowerScheduler set to power off after 10min, but now it doesn't. Everything was working fine, except a couple of days ago I was watching a pre-recorded program, and at the end I put it on pause to read the captions. But a couple of...

Thanks for the info, that's useful to know, is there a wiki/info that I can follow to do this? Again, many thanks for that info, I've just bought it!

Thanks Criss, for your comments, I was wondering if a touch screen stand alone remote existed? Because that seems the most logical solution. However, from what you have said: Your app only works on a smartphone, presumably via the internet? So my HTPC would need to be permanantly connected to...

Thanks for the info: However, the Dell remote I have doesnt work, and that is supposed to be MCE complent. So it seems you cant take the claims at face value. So its difficult to know if it will work, unless someone has allready bought and tried one. There dosen't seem to be enough info...

Everyone: Thanks for the above advice, I'm still considering my options. I just found this one on ebay, does anyone know if this actually works with MPV2 ? AIM PC Windows Media Center RC118 Remote Control and IR RC6 Receiver | eBay or this one: AIM PC Windows Media Center RC118 Remote Control...

In Dec 2020: I purchased 2 remotes for my new HTPC install, eg: HP USB MCE IR RC6 Wireless Receiver and TSGH-IR02 Windows Media Center remote Dell MCE RC6 IR Remote Control USB Receiver Microsoft Windows Media Center Kit The Dell kit wouldn't work on my main PC or the MP HTPC (Both W10 OS) The...

Thanks guys for your help so far, I'll check out the info.

So where can I download that kind of raw code, and how would I work on it, eg: is there some kind of development-environment that I should use, to be able to get it to interact with a test-version of MP2? I'm not sure, but think I read somewhere in the MP2 coding introduction notes, that...

Thanks for you above info. My coding so far is limited mainly to: html, php, MySQL, JS, coldfusion + V basic, V basic net And I don't have any experience working with a team. Writing code to work with someone else's code (like MP2) is probably very different from writing code for one's own...

Many thanks for your replies. There are several features I would like to add, but possible the easiest would be this. Because of all the repeats... Currently: I have to write down the programs I have recorded. And then later, note if I have: a: watched them, and deleted them, or (b) watched...

Thanks for the reply. So now I'm even more confused! If that is the case, then how can anyone (who is not part of the original design team) create useful plugins that they and others can use?

Perhaps I have misunderstood? I thought that anyone could add extra features by creating plugins?

Hi, I've been using MP2 for a couple of years now. And I was wondering how easy would it be (for me) to add extra features to the MP2 database? The extra features would have to be accessible by the user, from the onscreen menus. This page says MP2 is using the: SQLiteDatabase plugin, which is...
