[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1200431, member: 141969"] The post referenced by MM is the place to start. To get the Ortek/Hama remote to work optimally, you really need to use an additional tool called "AutoHotKey". This tool traps keystrokes and allows you to map them to other keystrokes. This keystroke-mapping is required in order to get the Ortek/Hama to work properly. Please read the file "Centarea HID.txt" included in the ZIP file, and then read the comments at the start of the file "Centarea HID.ahk" (this is the AutoHotKey script that performs the keystroke mapping). Then do this: (1) Download and install "AutoHotKey". The web address is included in the comments in the AHK file. (2) In "MP Config", in the "Remotes and Input Devices" section: (a) On the "HID" tab, [b]deselect[/b] "Generic HID" (depending on the version of MP that you are using, this might be called "General HID" or just "HID"). (b) On the "Microsoft MCE" tab (if present), [b]deselect[/b] "Microsoft MCE". (c) On the "Sceneo" tab, [b]select[/b] "Centarea HID". Save the changes and exit. (3) Move the file "Centarea HID.xml" in the folder: [b]C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\[/b] If you cannot see the "ProgramData" folder, you need to change your folder options so that hidden folders become visible. (4) Move the file "Centarea HID.ahk" to your startup folder and reboot. Alternatively, double click the AHK file to start it running. You should now be able to use the Ortek/Hama START button to invoke MP, and most of the other buttons on the remote should work correctly (there are some restrictions -- see the TXT file for details). I use the Ortek/Hama myself, although I have setup a Harmony 650 universal remote to transmit the Ortek/Hama signals to the Ortek/Hama IR receiver. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
