[QUOTE="snoop75, post: 359705, member: 86265"] Gday Woddog, Sent you a PM but for the benefit of anyone else who might be having this same issue here is a bit more detail on what I did. There may be other ways of achieving all this but this worked for me. ---------------------- First of all "HIP" is some software that can be used to translate ascii characters before they are sent to a host application. You can download HIP from: [url=http://www.byremote.com.au/downloads/default.asp?SCLASS=HIP]ByRemote File Downloads[/url] Once you've installed it you will need to configure it. First of all, you need to under "Program 1" define where your MediaPortal.exe is. So click on the little yellow folder icon and navigate to where your MediaPortal.exe is installed. This basically tells HIP that MediaPortal.exe is one of the host applications that it should manage ascii characters for. Next you will need to click on the "Add Value" button to add some translation values. A window will pop up asking you to press a key to continue. In this case what you want to do is press the "back" key (or whatever key you want to translate/map) on your remote. Then simply click on the "Primary Command" button and press the "Esc" key on your keyboard. This will map the "back" key on your remote to the "Esc" key when using Media Portal. You can assign a name to this event, then just click OK and that's pretty much it for HIP. The only other thing I had to do is in Media Portal Configuration. Launch MP Configuration and under "Remote" navigate to "General HID" and select "Use General HID Device". That should be it - the "back" key on your remote should now function in the same way as the "Esc" key on your keyboard when using media portal. [/QUOTE]
