[QUOTE="craigparris1, post: 282350, member: 75254"] Hi Goulin, Yeah, I found the EPG settings last night and now it's populating all the program details - sweet! Sometimes the MP configuration interface is a bit confusing with the expandable sections - but some config has to be done at the top level, which some is done at the sub-levels. I just completely missed the EPG section ........ In terms of configuring WF_RemCtrl to work with PowerDVD, what I did was this: for each of the buttons I configured a "Virtual Key", and set it to the corresponding shortcut key within PowerDVD (eg. full-screen toggle is Z). In the Virtual Key settings, I also specified to do those keys only when the PowerDVD window is open. The only one that's a problem is play & pause - these are combined on the remote, but in PowerDVD they are two separate keys. I just picked some other key to be "pause" when using PowerDVD. The drop-down list of apps can't be modified - but the "Virtual Key" thing seems to be flexible enough that it should really work for most things (well, things that can be controlled via keystrokes, anyway). Yes, you're right, the WF_RemCtrl doesn't recogise the four buttons on the very bottom of the remote (these are new buttons added on our model - not on previous, similar models - and, as I said previously - WF_RemCtrl wasn't built for our model of remote). I've also found that the Power, TV, FM & DVD buttons can't really be used outside of WinPVR or MediaPortal, as pressing any of these buttons seems to send a close command to whichever app has focus, then either throws up the Winfast panel, or opens the corresponding Winfast app. I'll take a look at the power monitoring app you mentioned - I hope I can get it up and going, otherwise I'm going to have to look at getting an MCE remote.
