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.

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...

    After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...
