hello all,
I use media portal as my htpc, i have it hooked up to my 26" tv and i just recently bought a ir remote for it...i found this giga ware ps3 remote on clearace for 3.95 or something, anyways, i have it connected as direct input (gamepad, joystick) i have mapped most of the buttons that i will actually use, now my question is, with this remote is there a command that i can use to start mediaportal with a push of a button on my remote? i've notticed that they have made it possible with the mce remote using the green button. I would love to be able to do this seeing how i wouldn't have to go accross the room to use the mouse and open media portal that way. i'm not trying to be lazy or anything i would just like to have it set up that way. also, is there anyway to set the sensitivity of the remote buttons? when i navagate, i push up and it goes up about 2 - 3 clicks, and when i click enter, it goes to far and actually opens a video or tv show that i didn't want to watch at the time. i'm sorry if i'm talking too much or running in circles, i would love any advice i could get.
also here is a pic of the remote and the specs at amazon if you want to look at it, i couldn't pass it up for a couple bucks at the shack
Amazon.com: Gigaware IR Remote for PlayStation 3: Electronics
