I was wondering how does one configure mediaportal to use all the MCE Remote buttons

only a few seem to function, so i can only assume, it has not been set up to use the rest of them

    Hi, and welcome to the forum, aramiskane :)
    All MCE buttons should work just by enabling the MCE remote in MP config -> remotes

    If this does not work, please provide info about remote and OS.

    the direction buttons and middle button work, its a standard MCE remote, 2005 Microsoft Model 1039

    buttons like play fastfoward skip, and most important "BACK" do not function

    the os is xp sp3, legit and with bitdefender etc

    Are you certain you ticked the "MCE remote" checkbox in configuration? Sounds exactly like thats the problem.

    The direction/ok button always work because all the do is send keyboard commands.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    I eventually came across the TwinHan driver CD that was included with the original product. The CD contains numerous drivers for the different TwinHan tuner models, but the drivers are for Win 2K (32-bit only) and Win XP (32-bit and 64-bit). The drivers install directly on Vista, and the drivers can be installed on Win 7 and Win 10...

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
