I've been asking questions about this, but I think I've been asking in the wrong forum, or at least one that's not very populated.

I've been using this generic MCE remote that I got on ebay a couple years back to control an older version of MP.  It's worked fine, but I just upgraded MP to the latest version, and for some reason, the "Back" key doesn't work.  I can see the IR receiver flashing when I push the button, but nothing happens.

It seems like the whole remote control technology is kind of a black hole.  You push a button and something may or may not happen.  It would be nice (and it honestly doesn't sound that difficult) if you could push a button, the software would say "I just received code 9AF4", and you tell MP to assign that to the "Previous Menu" function.

Short of that wishlist item, is there anything I can do to make this work?

Thanks for any help.
