[QUOTE="TheShanMan, post: 841606, member: 118736"] Excuse my ignorance. I've spent a few hours researching IRSS, HIP, etc and still don't have a good feel for whether I can do what I want, how to do it, or what app to use. I [I]think[/I] IRSS is my best bet if it's possible but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm happily using my mce remote with mce (not mediaportal), but I would like to add some non-mce commands to my remote. I use a "JP1" style universal remote which means I could have it send virtually any IR signal, be it an mce command or a command from virtually any consumer device remote. So I don't necessarily want to repurpose any mce commands, but if that's the easiest way to do what I want, I can live with that (don't need the mce volume/mute buttons for instance), or if my mce ir receiver and IRSS can handle commands from some random consumer device remote, I could approach it that way. FWIW, I want to add a "close window" button and perhaps even a "reboot" button for those instances where mce and/or windows is in some strange state. Is this possible? Is IRSS the right tool for the job? If so, can someone point me to some instructions that relate to what I want to do? I certainly haven't been able to figure it out so far. :S [/QUOTE]
