[QUOTE="joshyy, post: 1147234, member: 97486"] Hi, I'm in the process of upgrading my htpc machine. I use mediaportal for quite a while now and it's most perfectly tailored to my needs. The case I had previously was an antec remote max (with a stock iMON remote module). My new case (cooltek u2) doesn't have a remote module, so I ordered a flirc. The whole av system is commanded by a logitech harmony one. I'm so far VERY pleased with the flirc. It works out of the box with the harmony and is very easy to configure for mediaportal. In the harmony setup software, choose "flirc" as brand and "xbmc" as model, then create an action and sync with the remote. Now, on the htpc, install the flirc software. Open it and choose "controllers" from the menu, then "full keyboard". Then open mediaportal configuration and go to "general" then "keyboard default shortcuts". Look into the mediaportal shortcut list for what you want to map on the remote. Let's say, "stop playing" is "B". Now in the flirc software, click the B key on the visual keyboard, it will ask you to press the remote button you want, press it on the remote and it's done. It took me 10 minutes to map my usual needed keys. And it seems so far way more responsive than the iMON on the antec case. The only downside seems, at the moment, that it can't shutdown/turn on the machine, it can only sleep/hibernate. I'll look a bit more into it and come back to post the results. [/QUOTE]
