[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 1286749, member: 49539"] [USER=113164]@Rob Hexenmeister[/USER] Please accept my apologies for hijacking your thread ;-} It was worth it for me, however, because I have made some progress following your advice to use FLIRC's "Full Keyboard" profile. The main thing missing is "The Green Button" (TGB), which FLIRC calls "Start". :-( This was handy for starting MP, but I don't find a way to mix profiles in the FLIRC GUI. [USER=141969]@CyberSimian[/USER] Your point about FLIRC being a keyboard emulator was right on. Since some buttons important to MP operation (e.g. "info") are completely missing from FLIRC's "Microsoft WMC" profile, I am better off using the "Full Keyboard" profile as Rob suggested. I found an MCE keyboard file on hifi-remote.com which gives me pre-defined codes, as you suggested. The biggest drawback is that I no longer have TGB to start MP if it isn't running, nor do I have the convenient media buttons from my old RC6 remote: [LIST] [*]My TV [*]My Music [*]My Pictures [*]My Videos [*]Recorded TV [*]Guide [*]Live TV [*]DVD Menu [/LIST] However, half of these were missing rom FLIRC's "Microsoft WMC" profile anyway. The only one that seems to have a corresponding MP key is "DVD Menu", but that is a subject for a different thread; I have abused this one long enough ;-[ [/QUOTE]
