[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1282664, member: 141969"] I use a Harmony 650 with MP 1.27, but the IR receiver that I use is the one for the Ortek/Hama remote control. However, the Microsoft IR receiver should work without problem with the Harmony. Do any of the buttons on the Harmony work? I think that a common test is to start "Notepad", and then press the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT buttons to see if they move the cursor in "Notepad". Remote control setup is described [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Remotes+and+Input+Devices']here[/URL] in the MP Wiki, so read that to make sure your settings are correct. Also, to be able to start MP from the Windows desktop, you need to disable WMC services, and enable the "MPTray" application; see [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Additional+3rd+Party+Checks']this page[/URL] in the Wiki. When you install MP, you get a default MP configuration for the remote control which should provide you with all of the common functions, but you can of course modify the button assignments to suit your own preferences. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
