The Remote that I purchased (like many I guess) was a cheap Vista MCE clone that does not in fact act as a true remote, but actually just acts like a wireless HID. It works fine with VMC (Vista Media Centre) because it follows the shortcut key mappings for VMC but not with MP as the shortcuts are different.I tried a few other solutions including various apps to intercept the remote and run macros or whatever, but it was all to much like hard work again. That is when I came across this plugin, but there seemed to be a few issues with it as well, not to mention the lack of a good “how to” doc explaining the best way to set it up and use it.So here is what I did to get it working and remap my cheap remote so that all buttons work correctly (or in deed exactly as I / you might want them to work).I am currently looking at the source as well and with a little tweaking I am sure that it would work just “as it was originally intended”. Since the original code was written it looks like a few changes have been made to the mediaportal setup and this is what has broken it.Sorry if the guide is a bit simplistic for the more advanced of you users, but if it saves others spending as much time as me working out what was going on.....then jolly days <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
