Is this possible? Would it be through LIRC?

Thanks for any replies. :)

I believe to have seen the MCE remote in a list of remotes for MythTV. Since a certain relation between MythTV and Linux seems to eist, it should be possible to do *something* with your remote.
The keyboard... no idea. Keyboards in general are supported I suppose (really helps the usability :wink: ), so the querty part will probably bahave decent. The rest?

Ah.. I didn't ask that question quite right. :)

If you have an IrMan, you can basically use ANY remote with it, using LIRC. It'll just pick up whatever IR signals are being transmited, and you can do with them what you like.

I'm after knowing is can I use the MCE USB reciever dongle with my MCE remote and keyboard under linux :)

There you go. That's what I should have asked.

    Hi James

    I really think you need to check that one out on a linux support forum as to my knowledge everyone using MP uses windows XP Home/Pro.

    I don't know if it makes any difference, but MPC-VR is open source too, so that might make it easier to integrate if you can access the code to see what it's doing. I don't think madVR was opensource IIRC

    Thanks for explaining. I found a passing reference to this here: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/HID%20Profiles which I had overlooked in the past. I would find it logical for a created custom profile to be automatically activated, but until that happens, I will try to create a wiki page for the current...

    Thanks guys. Ok, spent the (whole) weekend on this lol. First; TVHeadend/Kodi.... Nah. Given up on that - 'non-tech'; its horrible. 'Tech' - a few reasons but mostly that it is buggy.
