    Hi!

    Noticed that it is hard to get the MCE remote here in Sweden lately. You can get the remote it self, but not with the IR receiver.

    Someone know why?

    Same subject, think they must be stopping\stopped production, as this was the remote designed only (in theory) for XP MCE, also their sales must have dropped quite considerably in the past 2 years.

    Also a lot of cases can easily be modified for a irremote sensor, again a lot of motherboard support this input now

    You can also buy a Logitech Harmony remote, those can be programed to be just about any remote you want to use. Then all you need is a IR port for your PC.

    Many thanks for the answer. 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...

Using the "HID" tab, you can: Customise your remote control, and/or Customise your keyboard. Select one or both devices, and then pick the config that you are going to use...

    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...
