Alright, here's a quick guide to using HIP:Fire up HIP.Go to File -> Preferences -> Alternate Input tab. Make sure HID is selected here. I suggest you click on the Device Configuration button to ensure that your DVICO remote is listed. Also, check the 'Check Scan Code' box and perform the Test procedure by pressing the Test button. You may need to come back here later to change the repeat delay settings. Press OK to return to the preferences screen.Here you can set the responses that you want when a key is pressed, no matter what application is running (hence system-wide). To set one, press the Add Value button. It will then ask you to press the desired button on your remote. Once you've done this, enter a description for the key, then in the Primary Command box, enter the keyboard key you want the remote key you pressed to emulate. You can also use the System Keys list instead if required. For more complex keyboard combinations, press the Keyboard icon next to the Primary Command box. Press OK when you're done. Repeat this for all your system-wide keys. I would program in the arrow keys, volume up/down, ESC, ENTER, mute, sleep computer. You will need to return here once you've set the path to MediaPortal.exe to program a key to start MediaPortal.Once that's done, press OK to return to the main HIP screen.Click on the program 1 radio button, and then click on the folder icon and select where your MediaPortal.exe file is located.Now, in the section below, add all the remote commands that are specific to MP (e.g. b for stop, m for DVD menu etc.). The procedure for this is the same as the system-wide keys. See here for a list of the keyboard commands for MP. https://www.team-mediaportal.com/mpwiki/KeyboardShortcutsOnce you're done there, save the configuration by going to File -> Save Configuration, then press the Run button and you're off!This is the long way to do it; as oppose to attempting to get MP to recognise your DVICO MCE remote as a MCE remote, but its also the more flexible way. I can't help you with the MCE remote method - but if you do go that way, HIP is not necessary for that.Sam
