    you can't use IrDA adaptors for remote controls. I can't read much of that site you linked to, but the fact it mentions SIR etc means it is an IrDA connector.

    Your best bet is to get an MCE controller. They are quite cheap and give you a LOT more as well (blasters, well designed remote and USB receiver).

    The extra money will mean a lot less heartache and frustration trying to get a cheaper receiver working...

    MP1 MP2 recording video DE
    VLC has a browser add-on that allows you to start a video selected in your browser in VLC, you then can use its record button. Doesn't always work though, my guess is it won't on protected vids but it is the only thing I have found other than the excellent download capability of Online Videos when available.

    About The Project

    The vision of the MediaPortal project is to create a free open source media centre application, which supports all advanced media centre functions, and is accessible to all Windows users.

    In reaching this goal we are working every day to make sure our software is one of the best.

    Support MediaPortal!

    The team works very hard to make sure the community is running the best HTPC-software. We give away MediaPortal for free but hosting and software is not for us.

    Care to support our work with a few bucks? We'd really appreciate it!
