[QUOTE="TheBatfink, post: 270807, member: 52265"] Well, my biggest problem was having a receiver which IR suite wasn't currently supporting. Maybe this is your problem. What receiever are you using? Heres what I did. Install a device on the remote "PC -> Microsoft -> media centre" from logitechs software Totally un-install IR suite (I also manually deleted any reference to IR suite in program files for good measure) Fresh install of MediaPortal Install RC1 version of the suite (main IR suite post) Copy the update files (from the same main post as the RC1 files) to the correct folder Open up the input service configuration from the start menu and select your receiver Now open the plugin from within mediaportals config (right click it in the plugins tab and goto configure) Select MCE remote from the drop down list of the first screen you see when you open the config for the plugin Expand "Play" or "Stop" from the remote map you just added When you press a key on the remote it should tell you the IR code. If it doesnt then it isn't seeing the codes through your receiver This is the problem I had so I went on ebay and brought a "genuine" Microsoft receiver and MCE remote. Cost about £25 UK. Soon as I plugged this in, and setup the input service for MCE receiver the codes where displaying fine and I was able to map my keys to the keys in the plugins remote map. I just want to add more keys to the map so I can create more keys on my actual remote for things like shortcuts to myfilms etc but not by tying up any of the standard MCE remote. I dont know your remote, I have the 885 but I can add "buttons" to the screen on the top of the actual remote control and flick through them like pages. [/QUOTE]
