[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1184740, member: 141969"] This sounds similar to the Ortek VRC-1100 or Hama 00052451. The Ortek/Hama appears to Windows as a keyboard and a mouse, and it works [i]by sending keyboard shortcuts for WMC[/i]. Now MP also accepts keyboard shortcuts, but many of the MP keyboard shortcuts are different from the WMC keyboard shortcuts. Consequently, MP does not respond to those buttons on the remote. If you wanted to use MP1, you could try enabling the "Centarea HID" on the "Sceneo" tab, and using the config file that I created earlier this year (but there is no guarantee that this would work). However, that solution does not work on MP2. In the short term, I would endorse Lehmden's suggestion of using a [i]real[/i] keyboad and mouse, until you have solved the other problems. If you have plenty of spare time and like a challenge, you could probably get IRSS to work (but I have never used it, so cannot help with that). Otherwise, if you want a simple solution (because "life is too short"), purchase a true WMC RC6 remote control and matching IR receiver ("RC6" is the important part). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
