[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1172987, member: 141969"] I don't have a blu-ray drive, so was not able to test the new definitions with blu-ray. They probably behave the same as ordinary DVD, but it is good to have a specific confirmation that they work as expected. (y) I see from your user details that you reside in Germany. Be aware that characters with accents, and other special characters (such as the German double "s" character), won't appear when you type them, [b]unless you add definitions for them to "Centarea HID.xml"[/b]. You might notice this if (for example) you try to search the EPG for a programme title that contains an accented character. I included in the TXT file some instructions on how to add the necessary definitions. Are you using the AutoHotKey script with the new "Centarea HID"? I like the extra function that the script provides, and I have found AutoHotKey to be trouble free (apart from when there were errors in the script, of course! :(). Actually, I find myself warming towards the Ortek/Hama remote :), although I probably won't use it long term as I want the volume control to operate my audio amplifier, not the Windows volume setting. However, I will mention that there is an Ortek definition for One-for-All universal remotes. It is not built-in, but it can be downloaded from [URL="http://www.hifi-remote.com"]www.hifi-remote.com[/URL] and installed in the remote (provided that you have the correct cable). I would expect Harmony remotes also to have a definition for the Ortek (but I have not checked that yet). Using the Ortek IR receiver with a universal remote would allow the VOLUME and MUTE buttons to control a separate audio amplifier, as well as giving consistent behaviour of Harmony-style activities. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
