[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1165725, member: 141969"] From the description on the website that you referenced, the remote's capabilities look similar to the Ortek VRC-1100 remote, which is also a remote that has mouse capability. It is possible that your remote [i]is[/i] an Ortek internally, and differs only in the casing. The remote looks to be one that sends keyboard shortcuts, which are presumably for Windows Media Center (WMC). The problem is that many of the keyboard shortcuts for MediaPortal (MP) are different from those for WMC. For the Ortek remote, an MP user in one of the German MP fora created a remote config file that allows most of the remote's buttons to be used. I would suggest that you try this config file first, to see if it works for your remote. Download the file attached below. Unzip it and copy it to the folder: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\ Then do the following: (1) Start "MP Config". (2) Select the "Remotes" section (left side bar). (3) Select the "General HID" tab. (4) [b]Disable[/b] "General HID". (5) Select the "Microsoft MCE" tab (if present). (6) [b]Disable[/b] "Microsoft MCE". (7) Select the "Sceneo" tab. (8) [b]Enable[/b] "Centarea HID". Start MP, and with any luck most of the buttons will now work. To customise the button actions, click the "Mapping" button on the "Sceneo" tab in "MP Config". (All of the preceding is from memory, so I hope that I have remembered this correctly.) -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
