[QUOTE="ajp8164, post: 747847, member: 64375"] I don't have any specific help for you with your specific remote but I use an IR receiver in my PC that is non standard and so I had to come up with the right solution (this is similar to the situation where the remote sends non standard commands, not directly supported by MP). Here are some options: [LIST] [*]if your remote sends commands supported by one of the MP out of the box remotes then your good; just use the appropriate remote config in the MP configuration tool (you don't seem to fit this). [*]IRSS - You can try the IR Server Suite (IRSS) (search the forum for the thread); with IRSS you can connect to the imon manager, then from the IRSS you can map commands over to MP just as in the config tool remote maps. [*]MessagePlugin - a light-weight plugin that receives Windows Messages and translates them to MP actions etc using the standard remote map (search the forums). This is the option I use since the IR receiver I have is non-standard (it uses MX.Play). I have a harmony 700 remote that maps nicely to the MX.Play receiver, then the MX.Play translates the received command into a Windows Message and sends it to the MessagePlugin in which I have full MP command configuration and mapping support. Btw - no perceived lag between the time I press the remote button and MP responds - this is a very fast solution. [/LIST] Hope this helps you with some ideas. [/QUOTE]
