[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1124339, member: 141969"] I agree; I hate binning anything that still has useful life. :) The button-mapping described there applies to remote controls that send RC6 infra-red signals; that is not going to work for remote controls that send keyboard shortcuts. :( There are some WMC keyboard shortcuts that are identical to the MediaPortal keyboard shortcuts, which is why some of your buttons do in fact work. Although I currently use the "Essence 4" (sends RC6), I also have the Ortek VRC-1100 (sends WMC keyboard shortcuts), and the following buttons do work: up; down; left; right; select; channel up; channel down; volume up; volume down; numeric digits. But the transport-control buttons don't work, as well as others such as: EPG, return, info, mute. It is these buttons where you need to use some other software (such as EventGhost or AutoHotKey) to map the WMC keyboard shortcut into the MP keyboard shortcut. For example, for the fast-forward button, you need to use EventGhost or AutoHotKey to map keyboard combination CTRL_SHIFT_F (the WMC keyboard shortcut) into F6 (the MediaPortal keyboard shortcut). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
