Firefly remote worth getting? (1 Viewer)

I don't think Firefly is directly supported via Media Portal, but I've been using it with Girder for about a year now and absolutely love it as my remote! 
If the Firefly remote is really not supported what are you going to be using for your IR Controller? I am currently using my USB-UIRT with a Radio Shack 2117. At this point it really doesn't matter what Remote I have because of all the hard work Steve put into the UIRT. What does the firefly remote have over a MCE remote that is currently supported in MP?
I was using Girder for awhile and you almost have too many options with it. It was almost hard to figure it out. Plus if your actually shelling out the money for it... that just adds to your total cost.

I only got to play with the remote wonder plus a little bit before I had to return it with the HDTV Wonder.
The Remote Wonder Plus worked ok and had the advantage of being RF but I think my iMon was easier to set up. Each has it's own advantages and the key layout is very different. I may just favor the iMon because I've had more time to work with it and since it was included with a VFD that lets be control the system power that made it a better choice for me.
I've heard people say the Firefly is really good but I don't have any personal experience with it.

Not sure if you're still making a decision here, but I'll chime in anyway.
It's X10 compatible so you can ditch the app that comes with it and set up up using a couple of plugins in MP. I've got the MP computer in another room from 2 TV's and just run signal out to them. Use the Firefly for control, and it works best kind...

It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz:
Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is.
Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...

Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal.
Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
