[QUOTE="RedeviL, post: 274888, member: 55318"] Well, seems I found the answer to my own question! After a lot of fiddling with Autokey, MediaPortal and the IR service for Hauppauge I finally got the remote to send the normal hotkeys for MediaPortal, which then fed into PowerDVD through the HD Starter translation. But once I got this working I realised thats a lot of processes for the keys to travel through - I could go directly from the remote to PowerDVD. So I did just that! Open MediaPortal Configuration. Click on Remote, change to the Hauppauge tab. Tick the box for External processes may use the remote control. Click ok to save the settings. Install the plug-in as directed in the first post, once installed replace the original HD_Starter.exe with the attached one. I've included the Source to see what I've done - it's simple. Just removed all hotkey translations. Leaving the Esc function to transition between PowerDVD and MediaPortal. Next stop the IR service by going to Start - Programs - Hauppauge WinTV - Stop IR. Browse to C:\Windows and rename your irremote.ini to irremote.ini.orig (or anything really). Extract the attached irremote.ini into C:\Windows Restart the IR service by going to Start - Programs - Hauppauge WinTV - Restart IR. I have configured all keys, but I am still working out the bugs in most - as they don't appear to do anything! Play and Pause function as expected for both Blu-ray and HD-DVD. Green Power button translates to ESC and closes PowerDVD and reopens MediaPortal. I will update the irremote.ini as I resolve the bugs. Now, I did have some issues with MediaPortal actually releasing the IR service when it was minimised. To test this is easy, with MediaPortal shutdown, you will see a small back rectangle icon in the System tray. As soon as MediaPortal starts, this icon disappears. When MediaPortal minimises and PowerDVD starts this icon should return - if it doesn't, then the remote keys won't work. [/QUOTE]
