[QUOTE="CairnsFella, post: 616685, member: 80211"] Seems a shame to start a new topic when my questions are "kind of" related, so I'll try my luck ressurecting this one first. I have had nothing but hassle setting up my imon / mediaportal / harmony combination. Initially I wanted to keep the imon controller, which I tried hard to do (including using the specifically modified IRSS imon version), but could never get it to work quite right. It either seemed to interfere with normal frontview operation, or didnt work at all. In additiona my minidisplay seemed only to work in one or other app, but not both. I had several combinations working either ONLY with MEdiaportal or ONLY with windows. The more I looked into this the more confused I got, with people seeming to use various solutions including, but not limited to: Standard Imon setup, Satndard MCE set up Using in built "remotes" section of Mediaportal Using IRSS (with / without shortcutter) and so on... I have finally, semingly, acheieved a satisfactory set up, but have a few remaining niggles (which ultimately I can live with, but would love resolved). My set up now is this. Windows 7 Ultimate, Imon (in Silverstone LC16) minidisplay running the imon version listed elswhere as the most up to date that still works with mediaportal (cant recall the version off hand as I am at work.. but I am certain it is the one refferred to several times as being suitable). Harmony 785 univeral remote. Streamed MP skin. Unsing IRSS as MCE. Im not ver proficient at setting up IRSS. For example I understood the simple method of assigning buttons in the main config pane (i.e. selecting the funtion then just using the remote, and the button is assigned). Unfortunately this had problems when trying to assign buttons like left and right, as this just moved the focus off of the function I was assigning. Equally I was unable to remove the original numeric assignations).. but these are not my questions. They are. Although I am fairly happy with my setup as is, I was curious if anyone had a better suggestion for default Harmony configuration as my selection (again I cannot recall, but was something along the lines of MCE 1409 remote ?!?! possibly.. please dont quote me on that, as my question pertains to what is suggested rather than what I have) as my default setup only has a couple of buttins mapped correctly by default, an not buttons like stop, play, pause etc. I would like to have larger text, but do not seem to have read any conclusive comments on this. I have tried "graphical mode" but this only produces the same two line dislay in test, and a blank screen in mediaportal. Is there anyway to set this up My display is verrrrrrry sloooow in updating. Again its tolerable as I dont see myself using it as a source of immediatte info, but it looks a little daft diplaying, for example, a yes/no option dialog when I have moved beyond this point by three or four steps. Finally (and perhaps not so pertinant to this area, so I might raise it eslewhere, but any views welcome) I just cannot get imon to restart after I exit mediaportal.
