[QUOTE="craigparris1, post: 274909, member: 75254"] Short progress update - tried a couple of things with the DVDs but still no joy. I'm hoping to play around with the remote this weekend and have found a utility for the CoolCommand remotes that does some key mappings but also has built-in controls for Windows Media Player. My thinking is that between this utility and the keyboard input plug-in for MediaPortal, I can control all the MediaPortal stuff with the remote and also use Windows Media Player as an external DVD player (since it has no problems with the DVDs). Fingers crossed, anyhow!!!!! I'm also hoping to get to the computer shop this weekend and pick up the 3.5" -> 5.25" drive rails and a longer IDE cable so I can be finished with all the hardware setup. I need to pay a visit to Jaycar as well and work out how much I'm going to have to spend on RF splitters and cables (I want to get good quality splitters and cabling so that hopefully I won't have any signal problems). Till next time, Cheers, Craig [/QUOTE]
