    I know I can quit MP by using the direction arrows to select the X button on the GUI, but is there a way to program a remote (or use a KB command) to quit MP?

    I have a Harmony One remote.

    Also, is there a way to bring up the full epg by remote or KB command (not the mini epg).

    Hi Ozviewer

    You can use ALT+F4 to close any program, and MP should be no different. I'm not sure about getting to the full EPG although I'd imagine there is a shortcut...

    Okay, thanks for that. I now have it worked out. I just needed to tell the Harmony remote to add 2 devices, a MCE Keyboard and a MCE SE Keyboard. It is the latter that has the key combinations. I can then choose between these devices in the activity (Watch TV) to generate the correct command. :D

    :D

    Hi,

    in standard "Microsoft MCE.xml" is quit MP (same like click on X button) mapped to "PowerTV" key and full EPG select is mapped to "Guide" key.

    What i did was map one of the extended buttons (like my radio) to the action "exit mediaportal". I also use an Harmony One remote, in the touchscreen I have an nice button "exit" which will only exit MP.

    What i did was map one of the extended buttons (like my radio) to the action "exit mediaportal". I also use an Harmony One remote, in the touchscreen I have an nice button "exit" which will only exit MP.

    MP Config - section "Remote" - tab "Microsoft MCE" - button "Mapping". Under "Microsoft MCE Remote" is "Power TV" as first entry, which contains the function "End MP".

    Use the "Power TV" kay for end MP or copy parameters to another selected entry for another key ("My Radio" as you mentioned). Another possibility is to directly edit a "Microsoft MCE.xml" file. It's faster, but you must know the codes and do it correctly, otherwise the MP will not work. Carefully edit the file in the data part of the MP, not in the program! I recommend you read the Wiki ...

    End MP should be in the "Microsoft MCE.xml" as follows (default for "Power TV" key):

    <button name="Power TV" code="101">
    <action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="POWER" cmdproperty="EXIT" sound="back.wav" />
    </button>

    If you want set end MP to "My Radio" key, try edit "My Radio" entry similarly (new for "My Radio" key):

    <button name="My Radio" code="80">
    <action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="POWER" cmdproperty="EXIT" sound="back.wav" />
    </button>

    Thanks, but its already working for me. I saw this thread and suggested to try and change the mapping of a button.

    Your answer is even better (more details)
