[QUOTE="sjeffrey, post: 419346, member: 81884"] Thanks chesh I'll try to setup like your machine. IRSS is the only thing required aside from the USB driver. I used the hauppauge remote because my other remote is a JP1 remote and didn't like the layout as MCE type remote. The wierd thing about hauppauge is that each button alternates between 2 codes consistently. IRSS was a little confusing to setup. You'll need to teach it your STB codes through the TVServer plugin. For MP, I think if you use MCE remote it should just work as it has a "Virtual Asbtract Mode" or something like that which recognizes MCE remotes. IRSS installs a lot of little apps, the primary ones is the Server config, where you'll choose USB-UIRT and the Virtual Remote if you want to map buttons to actions like launch app, send IR... 4TR was so so to setup. It took me a few hours to wrap my head around it. The SD plugin is what gave me the most grief this weekend. The first time I set it up it was all fine, but then my guide stopped working. I tried to resync the guide with my TVServer channels but was unsuccesful. To make a long story short, I ended up writing a SQL statement to use xmltvid's to match TVServer channels with 4TR guide channels. BTW, 4TR has 2 kind of channels, the channels you will see in MP and guide channels. Guide channels just retrieve data from SD or xmltv. You then link each channel to a guide channel. They have a MP plugin as well but as far as I can remember it was already configured properly. They also replace the TV portion in MP but it's far better IMO. 4TR are at version 1.3.3 with version 1.4 coming soon. If you give them a contribution you will have access to 1.4 RC which I think is definetly worth it. Even if 1.4 is coming soon you'll always have access to new features/betas before the public. I don't remember exactly what is new in 1.4 but for sure it's out of the box compatible with MP 1.0.2. If you decide to use 1.3.3 then go to their forums and get binaries for 1.0.2 (or 1.0.1 if you on that version) Hopefully I covered it all, if not just ask more questions and I'll try to help. I know ixian also has 4TR so he might have some insight as well. Edit: I had the feeling both ixian and I were going to post a long one on this :) [/QUOTE]
