Hi,
Last year I built an Antec Fusion with VFD, converted my Harmony 525 to an MCE remote, and mapped all Media Portal buttons in Imon. It works perfectly, so before you read on please note I do know how to set these things up.
I have now bought an Antec Fusion Micro with LCD screen. I hate it!!! Compared to the VFD it's a nightmare. The imon remote you get has to point directly at the receiver to work. I've set the Imon software to MCE remote and mapped the usual buttons and with minidisplay off it works perfectly. With minidisplay switched on, the Imon software refuses to accept the MCE commands when you fire up Media portal.
Looks like there's only a few combinations to choose for this case:
1) LCD working with Minidisplay using the Imon remote (but the remote is poo!)
2) LCD working with Minidisplay and Imon set to MCE remote, but MCE remote stops working when Mediaportal fires up. (not really an option)
3) MCE Remote works perfectly with Mediaportal if Minidisplay is disabled. (My chosen option as the benefits of having a decent remote out way the use of the LCD screen)
FYI, I'm using the latest soundgraph drivers.
My question is a simple one, has anyone managed to get the LCD working in Mediaportal using an MCE remote. Remember this is the Antec LCD only. My Antec VFD works great.
Alternatively does anyone know if the VFD can fit in the place of the LCD in the Antec Fusion Micro case. Not a direct fit I know but maybe with some hot glue? Does anyone sell the VFD OEM display by it's self?
Thanks
