[QUOTE="Stéphane Lenclud, post: 1187054, member: 140174"] Absolutely not! What's broken is the various registry hacks out there. To my knowledge MP1 has never supported, OOTB or otherwise, such a large range of input devices, including numerous variants of IR remotes. You can test it yourself by doing the following, assuming you have a descent MCE remote hardware: [LIST] [*]Install Windows [*]Install MP1 => Remote is working [/LIST] What's not working, and never will, is: [LIST] [*]Install Windows [*]Corrupt your registry [*]Install MP1 [/LIST] Those "newbies" would have had to dig up through Kodi's online resources to find the plugin that breaks the registry in the first place so I'm betting they will have the mental and physical strength of finding out a solution for their MP1 issues online. Now looking ahead and whenever that [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp1-4795-add-keyboard-support-to-hid-handler.134248/']HID keyboard[/URL] is ready for release we could have a "Kodi" and/or "WMC Keyboard" HID profile allowing users to use that Kodi MCE plugin and various other non conformant pseudo MCE remotes which are sending keyboard shortcuts instead of generic HID usages. If you want MP1 to improve in this area please feel free to contribute by testing and providing feedback for that new HID keyboard feature. [/QUOTE]
