[QUOTE="perky, post: 1114831, member: 145880"] I've just been through configuring a supposedly MCE compatible remote to MP, but only some of the buttons worked (noticably absent amounst others was the back button, page up and page down). My solution was to use EventGhost with he EventGhostPlus MP plugin. This is actually a very slick way of doing it, you can map keys, create macros and has great configuration possibilities. If you are going that way download and install EventGhost first, and add the MCE and MediaPortal plugins (disable all other plugins for now). Make sure you can detect each button press, they'll show up in the left hand pane. The important bit is how these individual button presses or 'events' are mapped to the MediaPortal functions, there has to be an event for each MP action, so look in the MediaPortal directory section in the right hand pane - you need to first press a button and then drag the button event in the left pane (marked with a yellow lightning icon) into the required MediaPortal action in the right pane. Then install EventGhostPlus plugin into MP. Hopefully a button press will result in MP actioning it and you'll get access to all your buttons. You won't find EventGhostPlus in the MP plugin manager, you'll need to download it and install manually (word of caution here, on the EventGhostPlus plugin site you'll see a link for EventghostPlus_1.1.3.2.mpe1, this is for MP 1.5 or below, you need to click the big download button to the right of it to get EventghostPlus_1.1.3.5.mpe1 if you use MP 1.6 or above.
