[QUOTE="TheBatfink, post: 222932, member: 52265"] Ok.. Im having a real nightmare getting this remote to work with mediaportal fully. Basically I have the latest mediaportal with no remote plugs or anything like that. I have brought a Cyberlink MCE remote control which comes with a USB IR dongle. Ok, So in mediaportal I have selected the option to use microsoft MCE remote. Now, directional keys work, as does the OK key. The volume up and volume down keys work, but the channel up key and channel down key also controls the volume. The power toggle key seems to work ok and sends the system to sleep and wakes it up. The number keys all seem to work fine too. No other key does anything in mediaportal.. Only one key works which is RED and that opens PowerDVD!! So, I'm entirely frustrated. I went through and reprogrammed my Harmony manually learning each key one at a time from the original remote (the original remote does the same by the way). I'm totally lost on what I'm supposed to do now.. What are my next steps to making this work?? Any help will be greatly appreciated, my karma has taken a real hammering tonight :( ---------------------------------- EDIT Right I think I sorted it via using Generic HID. However, I have the Harmony and I believe MCE remote to be my best solution for getting all the buttons working, so I guess my question is, what do I select in my Harmonys Device setup to get the proper MCE remote. I had selected Media Centre PC -> Microsoft and got one that wasnt right mapped to my remote :( Whats annoying me is I can add LOADS of additional "keys" via the onscreen menu, so I was hoping to make shortcuts on this to various things in mediaportal and not just be stuck with the normal keys on an MCE remote. Is there anyway of making use of this feature of the remote too?? Any harmony users able to help please? [/QUOTE]
