[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1169616, member: 141969"] I think that you need to proceed with caution. The only RF remote that I have seen mentioned in these fora is the Emprex, and the user concerned could not get that to work with MP. I suspect that the cause of the problem is that the remote sends keyboard shortcuts for WMC, and various of these are different from the keyboard shortcuts for MP (so those buttons on the remote don't work). :( There is a remote config file for "Centarea HID" that works with some remotes that send keyboard shortcuts, but it seems to have a side effect of [b]making the keyboard unusable[/b]. :( See this thread relating to the Ortek/Hama IR remote: [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp-1-12-changing-from-centarea-remote-to-generic-hid-how-to-map-buttons-properly.131638/[/URL] To be honest, I think that you would be better advised to purchase a WMC-compatible IR remote that uses RC6 signalling protocol, combined with a separate receiver for the keyboard and mouse/trackpad/trackball. But I will be interested to see if anyone has had any positive experiences with RF remotes for MP. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
