Hi
I have a Harmony Remote 650 model and a USB-UIRT IR receiver and I would like to get all the functionality of using a remote with Mediaportal working correctly. Specifically I'd like to be able to import mappings that for example when I'm in fullscreen TV and I press the guide button I get to see the mini-epg whereas if i'm in the home screen and I press the guide I get taken straight to the TV-EPG guide etc.
If I try to use the Mapping functionality under the HID tab in Remotes and Input devices and have clicked use generic HID device I only get to see Consumer/ConsumerControl or WindowsMediaCenterRemoteControl/WindowsMediaCenterRemoteControl or GenericDesktopCOntrols/Gamepad I dont see how I learn the command from my remote. I'm lacking some steps in my knowledge here I think.
The alternative is using something like EventGhost to have button presses on my remote translated to a keypress or keypress combination but then how do I do the contextual mappings if I only have a limited set of keystrokes being sent.
It all seems like a lot of work to setup and I'm assuming people and done this before but I cant put all the pieces together and all the information seems like a few years old and I don't know if the information is still applicable. Should I be using the IR suite for example what is the best practices these days for remote controlling MePo
Thanks all in advance
