Both the release announcement page and the corresponding news thread are incomplete with respect to installation of SQL Server. I suggest linking to the top-level SQL Server wiki page instead of enumerating the individual versions, which I plan to expand soon to include MS SQL Server Express 2019.

Windows Security in Windows 10 blocks the current version as containing Trojan:Win32/Zpevdo.B, even though dozens of online AV-testers on VirusTotal give it a clean bill of health. According to VirusTotal, only scumware.org accuses HID Demo 1.4.6 of containing "Malware". The "Search" function...

What is the recommended way to use a file server for music, pictures and video? Is there any advantage to mapping a network drive over using the full UNC network path? For example, I have videos stored at \\DiskStation\video\. Would there be any benefit to mapping this folder to V: (using group...

After many hours of work, I have gotten FLIRC to work as a controller for MP It has its problems, and support is nonexistent, but it can be used as an IR remote receiver for almost any IR remote. The key (thanks to @Rob Hexenmeister) is to use the "Full Keyboard" profile and forget about the...

Meanwhile I have found this, which seems to answer the second request above (a guide to conventions for the MP Wiki). However, I am still lost on help for Confluence. I am not yet up to speed on it and find it counterintuitive. When I try to edit a page, what I can find to edit is usually only...

I do have "HID" and "full keyboard" selected and already thought of using the mappings panel in the Config settings for HID. I was looking for keymap.xml because the "Technical Notes" in that article say that the default handler is still handling some keys. Also, the wiki article used to...

Since I have my HTPC setup to start MP when the 10' screen account logs in, lack of a start key is only a minor inconvenience. I usually use it to start MP again after closing it to use MP Config (which I do in an admin account via Remote Desktop). I read somewhere that F2 will close MP and...

@CyberSimian Thanks for the tip. Now all I need is a way to map the media keys. However, if I understand this correctly, I can't do that with HID Mapping and would need something like the KeyboardInputPlugin for that.

@Rob Hexenmeister Please accept my apologies for hijacking your thread ;-} It was worth it for me, however, because I have made some progress following your advice to use FLIRC's "Full Keyboard" profile. The main thing missing is "The Green Button" (TGB), which FLIRC calls "Start". :-( This...

Thanks again. I am already using the "Microsoft WMC" profile for my FLIRC USB (see post #6 above) with mixed results. Not only are some buttons missing, but some important ones (play, pause and stop) aren't working, even though the FLIRC GUI confirmed recording them successfully. I noticed the...

Perhaps a better workaround for the remote situation would be to replace the USB Display/Keyboard& CIR receiver assembly from my old FSC Scaleo E with something more modern. Fellow MP users seem to like iMon, but I have recently read of problems using this with Win 10 and would expect even...

@CyberSimian Thanks for your detailed advice. I have been using RMIR for some time now. I ordered the FLIRC, because I couldn't find an RC6 USB I/F that: doesn't require the driver I can't install (as does the internal RC6 USB I/F that came with my original FSC Scaleo E) ships to Switzerland...

I guess I will have to do something similar. Some of the missing buttons are important ti MP operation, e.g."info". Furthermore, some of the memorized buttons don't work: so far play, pause and stop! The XSight Touch doesn't have a full keyboard, so I'm not sure how to deal with that.

@Rob Hexenmeister Thanks for responding. I realized that that was the only way and did the same using the FLIRC profile for Microsoft WMC. Since the Microsoft WMC RC6 remote control has standardized key codes, I would have expected these to be already included in the profile. I would have...

This problem still exists with MP 1.29.
