[QUOTE="psionic, post: 79641, member: 25181"] Hi everybody! As the title says, I'm interested in using MediaPortal as a front-end for BeyondTV. I love the plug-in architecture of MediaPortal and the sheer functionality makes it a good candidate to work alongside BeyondTV and avoid purchasing Snapstream's Beyond Media product. However, I think BeyondTV trumps MediaPortal in the PVR arena, although I do hope that one day that statement is false. MP is a great product already and has the potential to be the MythTV of Windows. I've searched the forums and I've read some very helpful posts on how to configure the Firefly remote as a standard X10 remote using a custom config file and it has worked well for using MP with the Firefly remote. However, I have not found the correct way to use the Firefly remote for BOTH MediaPortal and BeyondTV. Let me explain-- If I use the standard X10 drivers from Snapstream for the Firefly remote, and do not load the Beyond Media system tray applet, MP works great with the remote. However, when I then launch BTV from within MP using the EasyApps plugin, Firefly remote does NOTHING in BTV. (Note: I have BTV configured to use Firefly remote). If I then go ahead and load the Firefly system tray app, Firefly can control BTV but MP gets hosed (by "hosed", I mean I get double actions for every button press). Does anyone know the proper way to set this up with the Firefly remote? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, you can't talk about this on the BTV forums because they forbid mention of other products :rolleyes: Thanks in advance and keep up the great work! :) [/QUOTE]
