[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1260688, member: 141969"] I may have misunderstood, but I think that you have tried the following: (1) A non-standard remote with a non-standard receiver (Sky remote + FLIRC). (2) A standard remote with a non-standard receiver (MCE remote + IMON). You don't seem to have tried a standard remote with a standard receiver. :unsure: A couple of points regarding combination (2): (a) All over the internet there is a predilection for terminological inexactitude (crikey!). People often don't realise that not all MCE remotes are RC6 remotes. For example, the remote that I use (the Ortek/Hama) is an MCE remote but it is not an RC6 remote. [b]This difference matters![/b] An MCE remote that is not an RC6 remote won't work correctly with the standard support in MP (it will work partly, but not completely). To use a non-RC6 remote, you need a different support layer, such as the "Centarea HID". What is your remote really? Does it state "RC6" on the label? Do you know the manufacturer and model number? (b) I downloaded the IMON software (100MB! another crikey!). From the PDF, it looks as though it generates keyboard shortcuts.

To use IMON, I think that you need to setup each button definition so that the buttons send MP keyboard shortcuts. Did you do this? If you defined the buttons to send MP keyboard shortcuts, you won't need to use the "Centarea HID" support layer. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
