[QUOTE="Stéphane Lenclud, post: 1185240, member: 140174"] I'm guessing this was written by an MP2 developer :) There is a bit of healthy competition between our teams. I think this should be rephrased. MP1 is considered stable and mature, it's certainly not declining though like most open source projects contributions goes up and down. MP2 is considered fancy and shinny with likely more code contributions. Essentially they are two distinct products and one does not supplant the other like their names would suggest. However the long term plan is obviously that MP2 should do everything better than MP1. But even then depending of the hardware you have MP1 could still be better for some people. Then again my point of view as an MP1 developer and user is biased. I have yet to try MP2 in a TV setup. I've been using MP1 for more than 3 years. Now concerning the feature that we were discussing which is our remote control support. It so happens that for the last 2 years or so, a lone developer, namely myself, with the support of this fantastic community, took upon himself to improve remote control and other input device support in MP1. Therefore MP1 now supports a wider range of input devices than it ever has in the past and things keeps improving release after release. MP2 was not yet blessed with that update but as discussed above it should get upgraded sooner or later. Looking at your remote I reckon it should work out-of-the-box on MP1, try the HID Demo mentioned above and give me logs and screenshots if you want to get a better assessment, or just try MP1. An MCE remote usually supports at least three range of HID codes: keyboard, WMC specific and consumer control. Yours most likely has mouse support too. [/QUOTE]
