[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1249871, member: 141969"] I don't have personal experience of the Inteset IR receiver, but from the description on Amazon it looks to be an IR receiver that accepts the MCE RC6 signalling protocol. Plug it into a USB socket and you should find an entry in Windows "Device Manager" for a "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" in the "Human Interface Devices" section. In "MP Config", click "Remotes and Input Devices" (left side menu), and select "Enable HID" on the "HID" tab. Use the "Classic" profile. (These settings may actually be the default for a new installation.) I have never handled an iPhone, but does it have an IR emitter controlled by the MCE emulator? If it does, simply point it at the Inteset IR receiver and you are done. If the iPhone does not have an IR emitter, you have presumably purchased a separate piece of hardware that contains an IR emitter. You need to use the software that was provided with that hardware and set it up to transmit MCE RC6 signals in response to control from the iPhone. That part does not involve MediaPortal. One caution: there are two different ways of controlling Windows Media Center (and hence MediaPortal): (1) Using a remote that sends MCE RC6 signals. (2) Using a remote that sends keyboard shortcuts. When you select the "MCE Emulator" on the iPhone, you need to select the emulator that uses (1), and not the emulator that uses (2). Only (1) will work with the Inteset IR receiver. If you want to use (2), you will need a different IR receiver, such as the Ortek VRC-1100 IR receiver (which is what I use). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
