I have just bought a multimedia remote for my HTPC. Not a Microsoft style IR remote, but a 2.4GHz mouse & keyboard combined Rii Mini MX3+ (remote on one side and full QWERTY keyboard on the reverse side, plus built in "air mouse").
Most of the keys work but some don't. In particular the remote has a full set of media keys. These will control Windows Media Player and WMC "out of the box" but they do nothing in MP.
A similar thing happens with the "menu" key (left), and the "return" key (right). In WMC the menu key behaves like "information" (toggles the info screen on and off) and the return key takes you up one menu level (like ESC in MP2). However in MP2, the menu key behaves like a right mouse click and although the return key shows the "back icon" in the top left of the screen in the WMC skin, it does not actually take you back a step.
I have tried mapping these keys to equivalent functions in MP2, but the Input Manager does not recognise when they are being pressed - with the exception of the "menu" key, which comes up as "APPS".
Does anyone know if it is possible to get these keys working in MP2 by default, or include them in the input manager somehow?
