[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1299033, member: 141969"] I am using MP 1.33 64-bit on Windows 7, and I encounter two problems when using an MCE RC6 remote control: (1) The START button on the remote is inoperative first time after a reboot. It is necessary to use a mouse to click the MediaPortal shortcut on the desktop. However, thereafter the START button works normally (until the next reboot). (2) MP sometimes fails to close completely, with the result that part of it remains running (you can see "MediaPortal.exe" listed in Windows "Task Manager"). The consequence of this is that MP cannot be restarted, using either the remote or using the shortcut. The circular spinner appears for around 0.5 seconds, and then disappears, with no error pop-up appearing. The above two problems cannot be common, otherwise there would be more complaints on the forum, so the problem is probably related to specific hardware and/or other software. To circumvent these problems, I have created a tool called "MpStart" that uses AutoHotKey. I have attached the current development version. If you want to try it, you will need to install AutoHotKey Version 2. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
