[QUOTE="hunter33, post: 726257, member: 112094"] I mapped my remote's power button to "action: exit". When I use the button anytime in Media Portal, it freezes in the middle of the exit. Sound continue to work, nothing else does. If any keyboard or mouse movement is registered, Media Portal will unfreeze and exit properly. I would like to use only a remote. Things that don't work: -Using the exit button right after starting Media Portal instead of during media play. -Mapping "action:exit" instead of "shutdown:exit Media Portal" causes the same effect. -Mapping exit through a different plugin offered through IRSS instead -Using an "exit" module on HomeBasic. It works if clicked with keyboard or mouse, but not with remote. -Changing skins. I've tried three different skins. No change. -Disabling plugins. I disabled my Moving Pictures and MP-TVSeries. No change. Things that work: -Mapping the remote's button to a taskkill.exe aimed at MediaPortal. -Mapping the remote's button to "Alt-F4". -Leaving an active program like taskmgr.exe open in the background, then exiting normally. Not sure why, but perhaps any graphical change at all helps unfreeze MediaPortal. I'm not exactly comfortable with using any of these permanently. Has anyone encountered this before? [/QUOTE]
