    If your MCE remote is no longer responding and the backlight is off, it might not be the battery

    i found out that with my MCE remotes this happens sometimes.
    remove the battery, wait one hour, insert the batteries and its working again (last time happened 5 weeks ago) :shock:

    no joke

    Thx, great resource! (and all the best the power button didn't do anything when I pressed it...:whistle:) It is certainly usefull and I'll dig into it later, but actually I was referring to what MP2 is supposed to do with the button presses, so I was looking for a list of keyboard shortcuts to see which ones "match" between MCE and...

    MP1 MP2 Jonsbo Remote with Internal IR module DE
    I think it's just getting the key mappings right; if you've got anything working at all the IR receiver is probably correct (plus XBMC works). The easiest thing is to find where the mappings file lives (in ProgramData or the registry or wherever it is) and edit it by hand - the mapping GUI that comes with the remote is TERRIBLE

    MP1 MP2 Need "universal" or MCE remote with learning function for volume keys .. suggestions? DE
    I have found JP1 compatible remotes to be ideal for this. I have a URC-7555 (5-in-1) and use it to control 5 source devices, an A/V receiver and a TV. No matter which of the 5 devices is selected, the volume up/volume down/mute buttons control the A/V receiver, the power button turns the TV on and off, and another button controls the...
