Hello,
I was wondering something. I have a Harmony 650 remote and my HTPC doesn't have a DVD or BluRay drive or anything like that. So I was wondering if it was possible to map the Harmony's 'Menu' button to move from any menu or plugin back to the home screen.
Currently I have to press the clear button several times to go back to the main menu and I think this mapping would be really helpful but even after reading the Mapping Wiki I still really have no idea how to do it. Can anyone help me out?

It is really easy with IR Server Suite and his MP plugin

Well, what case do you have? Or: how are the signals from the remote recognized by the PC? (i.e. do you have an IR receiver with iMON etc.)

Yes, I do have a IR receiver (USB-UIRT) and you can map any button of you remote with IR Server Suite plugin. For ex. : you want the "HOME" generic button of MP maped to your harmony "MENU" button. It's a peace of cake.

IR Server Suite is i think, the way to go when you use InfraRed remote control. http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...R_Server_Suite)/MP1_Plugins/MP_Control_Plugin
