[QUOTE="clahti, post: 388566, member: 84785"] Hello all: I am not sure this is the right forum to be asking this question, but I recently purchased a "Media Center" remote from EBay, here is the link: [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-LAPTOP-PC-REMOTE-CONTROLLER-Media-Center-XP-Control_W0QQitemZ270328971957QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Mice_Trackballs?hash=item270328971957&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1308|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50]USB LAPTOP PC REMOTE CONTROLLER Media Center XP Control - eBay (item 270328971957 end time Mar-12-09 10:41:28 PDT)[/url] I like this little remote (credit card size) and it came with Cyberlink Power Cinema v4.0. I am using Media Portal in my home theater setup with a real MCE remote and that works great, but I got this one for my bedroom. The long and short of it: What Works [LIST] [*]Directional keys (up down left right) work [*]Number key work (0-9) [*]Pause [*]Fast Forward, Rewind [*]Back [*]TV (takes you to My TV) [/LIST] Sorta Works? [LIST] [*]guide does something (not using TV server so not sure what remote tries to do) [/LIST] Doesn't Work [LIST] [*]Stop, Start [*]Repeat (not sure what this is for) [*]Jump buttons: DVD, Music Radio, Photo, Radio, Media Center [/LIST] Ideally what I want to do is to get the stop and start keys to work in My Videos, I would also like to map either the "DVD Menu" or "Repeat" button to Info so I can change subtitles, get IMDB Information, etc. How do I go about figuring this out? As far as I know all of these buttons work with Power Cinema and the (thin) manual states the remote is compatible with the Microsoft/Phillips specification whatever that means. The jump buttons would be nice but not necessary, is it possible to get this remote to work with Media Portal? :thx: for any help [/QUOTE]
