[QUOTE="AIstudio, post: 281941, member: 63135"] The way I have my media remote configured at the moment is with a Microsoft receiver that came with the Microsoft remote for the hardware. I have the pluggin Ir server and the tray launcher installed from the pluggins section. As I am running vista I disabled the media centre functions operating from the OS. I set the green button to launch media portal. When I setup my Harmony One I added the media centre as a device and media portal is actually in the list. When I go into my devices on the harmony one and select the media centre I can then launch media portal from start on the touch screen, or ok on the buttons in the centre of the direction arrows :D works great so far, although i need to configure it to operate KMplayer etc when they are playing videos in there. A lot of the buttons work for KMplayer anyway so I haven't messed about much. To close any application I mapped the stop button to exit (normally Alt+F4 for most applications). Seems to work pretty well. You can also setup activities on the Harmony One. If all your devices are of and you setup watch tv as an activity you can then set that so the pressing "watch tv" on the touch screen it will turn on the tv, turn on the av amp (and select the correct output that you specify), go to tv in media portal and in my case turn on the rear lighting behind my screen :D The activities is like setting up macros really but through a nice gui. The list of devices in the setup is huge. I had to send my arcam avr back as it wasn't working properly (another story). I dragged out my very used kenwood av amp that is around 15yrs old. went in to the device settings for the harmony one and it was in the database. FANTASTIC :) Would recommend the Harmony One to anyone. Kev [/QUOTE]
