Is there a way to make my MCE remote control only Media Portal? So that, if the focus is elsewhere, the commands still get through, instead of me having to tab over to Media Portal, move around, then go back to what I was doing?
Edit: Found that EventGhost and MessagePlugin for MP gave me everything I was looking for.

I have the hauppauge 45 button remote and it works well with MP. I am looking to make the HULU desktop application work with the hauppauge remote and found this post on editing the ini file.
If I do this it works but I must then deselect the “keep control when MP loses focus” which breaks the remote function of the netflix plugin...

Due to inadequate WAF, I am looking to replace my emulated Pronto RC (on iPAQ) with something better.
Here are some of the candidates I am considering:
RTI T2C
Denon RC-7000CI
GRemote (on HTC Wizard)
Thomson Gyration 4101 (maybe in the package with keyboard)
The first two are very expensive, but promise to control my whole AV...

Hey Guys,
i saw that Logitech Revue keyboard and really liked it. As I use my MePo PC for surfing and administration, too, it would be nice to have a wireless keyboard with touchscreen, maybe trackball on it.
Is the Logitech Revue keyboard as a single unit available anywhere?
Or can you recommend other keyboards that you use...

I've successfully soldered the first version (v1.1) of the USB Ultra IR with power on/off from www.ocinside.de and it's working fine.
Now I like to build a second one (USB Ultra IR v2.0) for my Eee Box, to power on/off and control it from another room, do you think it's working and what's the maximum USB cable length???
:thx:

I've been looking for a perfect solution for keyboard/mouse for my HTPC setup for a while, but i can't seem to find anything that satisfy me. What i really like is for instance this pack from Asus, but afaik, it's not available with Scandinavian layout:

Hi there,
I currently have a hauppauge WinTV Nova S DVB-S Card in my HTPC. I use the remote from this card. I do how ever like the remote that came with my TV alot better. (Samsung 37" LCD).
Funny thing is when I push buttons on the TV remote the IR Sensor for the hauppauge remote picks it up but does odd things to MP.

Here I wrote down some features of my universal multi-protocol IR receiver. At the moment I think about manufacturing a small batch and would be happy to know your opinion about whether it should be offered as kit where you'd have to solder some components yourself or as a ready-to-use and completely built device.
Option A would...

I noticed when MP1.0.2 is minimized it still has focus on my X10 remote. This causes issues when using the X10 remote in other applications like TotalMedia. Is there a setting that allows MP to ignore my X10 inputs when minimized?

If you own a x10 RF based remote like ATI, medion etc. then you probably also know that getting the remote control to actually turn on your PC from standby or hibernation is difficult if not impossible.
In this regard MCE remote users are spoiled. It more or less works out of the box.
But with a few tricks you can actually have the...

Hi everyone,
I love mediaportal but getting a decent remote happening is driving me insane. I started with a dodgey "MCE" remote that hardly worked and after months of putting it off went and bought a Hauppauge RC6 remote.
Firstly the remote works great, all the buttons actually do something for a change BUT.... I have a...

Hi all,
I'm looking for a RF remote which is able to get the machine started.
X10 from Medion/ Marmitek is not capable to do so.
I found these potential ones, but I'm not sure:
- ATI AIW remote II
- SCONI V2 ( external solution )

Thanks for any comment.

I bought a remote control as the image (in the center of the image). I can not set up to work with the standard MCE receiver. It does not work in Windows is (XP, Windows 7), nor in MediaPortal.
