[QUOTE="davidm_uk, post: 525213, member: 98631"] I bought a cheap (£15) Emprex Vista MCE Remote Controller from Amazon, hoping that it would work with MediaPortal. However, I've not had much luck so far. The remote's RF USB dongle installs as a keyboard, which seems very simple. However, the majority of the buttons on the remote don't work as I'd hope. In fact, apart from the volume controls the ONLY buttons that work are the ones that map to keyboard keys that work (when using MediaPortal with a standard keyboard). None of the MCE remote-specific ones seem to do anything. (I have enabled the "MCE Remote" setting in MediaPortal configuration!) Working are 4-way arrows, OK, numbers (change channel) and volume. Also, there's a "clear" button at the bottom left which appears to move back through the menus. Unfortunately, nothing else (including play, pause, record, etc., channel up/down and the various TV Guide etc. buttons) has any effect. Have I just bought an incompatible remote, or is there anything I can do to make it work? None of the buttons that I can't make work appear to press standard keyboard keys, so it's hard working out what key codes they're sending. I'd assumed the MCE used a standard which MediaPortal supported, but I fear I'm assuming that things are simpler than they are... Any help welcomed! Thanks, David [/QUOTE]
