[QUOTE="DigitalOxy, post: 424241, member: 85367"] Yes I am using the streamzap receiver. I have some workarounds for the lack of buttons on the Streamzap compared to the MCE though so this isn't a huge deal but I usually prever to use built in functinoality (i.e. MediaPortals built-in support for the MCE remote) over extra add-ons (such as EventGhost + Message Plugin for MediaPortal). My main beef with the Streamzap remote over the MCE remote is the lack of buttons like Live TV, My Videos, My Music etc. It's nice to be able to jump directly to the screen you want without having to use the interface to navigate back to the home screen first. As a workaround for his I configured the 4 color buttons (red, green, yellow, blue) to trigger the four screens I use the most (LiveTV, MyMusic, MyVideo, MyRadio). I also created some Macros that allow me to switch to mouse keys via the Mute button which is sweet because by disabling the offical Streamzap software (so that it does not interfere with EventGhost from what I hear) you lose that option. I also tweaked some other things in your MediaPortal2.xml file once I had it loaded into EvenGhost because some things didn't work, they mapped to the wrong keyboard shortcuts, etc. Can't remember what it was but something was mapped to F6 which did nothing in media portal. Also the OK button didn't work because event ghost was receiver it as Streamzap.OK and the config file had it listed as Streamzap.Ok (or vice versa, can't recall). I'll post my version once I get it tweaked all the way. My main goal in all of this is to use my Harmony 510 remote to emulate the Streamzap and maybe the MCE if necessary and if I can get it to work. I have not yet tried to enter standby since setting up EventGhost with the MediaPortal plugin so not sure if I will experience the same CPU usage issues. [/QUOTE]
