[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1149580, member: 141969"] A-ha! You have the [b]infamous[/b] Ortek VRC-1100 remote :eek: (or one of its clones marketed under other brand names). I have this too in my collection, in the form of the Hama 00052451. This remote is [b]notorious[/b] for sending [i]keyboard shortcuts[/i] for WMC. The problem is that MP uses different keyboard shortcuts, :( Some keyboard shortcuts are identical between MP and WMC, which is why some of the buttons work. But the remainder will not. The following post details some of the differences between the MP and WMC keyboard shortcuts as implemented on this remote: [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp-1-12-changing-from-centarea-remote-to-generic-hid-how-to-map-buttons-properly.131638/#post-1147566[/URL] The solution that is [i]most likely[/i] to work is to enable "Centarea HID" in "MP Config", and disable all of the others (Generic HID, Microsoft MCE, ...). But you need to use a mapping file too. The attached XML file was created by someone in one of the German MP fora, but I failed to make a note of who it was when I downloaded it last year, so I cannot give him/her credit (sorry about that). Unzip the file and place it in the following folder: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\ -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
