[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1167173, member: 141969"] I recently purchased a Harmony 650 to add to my collection of remote controls, and the 650 works correctly with "General HID" in MP 1.12-final. I would expect your Harmony Touch to behave in a similar fashion. This is an important observation. There are basically two types of remote control that can be used with WMC and MP: (1) Those that use RC6 signalling, and pass through the "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver". (2) Those that transmit keyboard shortcuts for WMC, and pass through the keyboard handler. Your Harmony Touch can be set up to use [b]either[/b] system. Since you do not see the "eHome Infrared Transceiver" device in "Device Manager", it looks as though your Harmony has been set up for (2). There are two possible solutions: (1) Purchase an IR receiver that appears as an "eHome Infrared Transceiver". This site shows some alternatives: [URL]http://www.cohaus-berlin.de/shop/RC6-Infrared-Receiver:::2.html[/URL] (2) Download the attached remote-control config file, and see if the remote works better than at present. Place the file in the following folder (or the one with "...(x86)..." in the name): C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\ In "MP Config" you will need to: (a) [b]disable[/b] General HID (b) [b]disable[/b] Microsoft MCE (if present) (c) [b]enable[/b] "Centarea HID" on the "Sceneo" tab. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
