[QUOTE="billtrib, post: 1149513, member: 154490"] Greetings to all, I have spent a few hours messing with MediaPortal, moving on from WMC due to loss of channel guide and removal from Win10. However, there is abundant documentation on this forum that shows that the current default remote mappings in the Generic-HID are not what most people migrating from WMC using MCE expect. Many people have not gotten the basic video motion keys (FF, FR,skip, etc.) working and have resorted to keyboards or new hardware. I have version 1.12 which appeared to be the latest stable release to download from the website, but looking at the discussion threads this may not be the case. Any comments appreciated. I have a generic MCE, it is using the Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver which works perfectly with WMC. I tried to use the gui mapper, the instructions say to "press a key on the remote". When I press it there is a sound but nothing on the GUI changes, so I am thinking that it's not working. I tried setting up the FF key but the remote still does not work for that key in recorded TV playback. I'm a software engineer, so I figured that I would have a go at editing Generic-hid.xml. But, when I looked at the file keys are numbered and it is unclear how to associate key numbers with key names (like FF).
