[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 1286857, member: 49539"] After many hours of work, I have gotten FLIRC to work as a controller for MP It has its problems, and support is nonexistent, but it [I]can[/I] be used as an IR remote receiver for almost any IR remote. The key (thanks to [USER=113164]@Rob Hexenmeister[/USER]) is to use the "Full Keyboard" profile and forget about the others. MCE remote support is flaky and incomplete, but the "Full Keyboard" profile can be used to map any IR remote buttons to MP's keyboard shortcuts, regardless of whether the remote is a MediaCenter remote or something completely different. It is sensitive enough to pick up reflections off walls, so it will work plugged into the back panel of an HTPC. FLIRC is supposed to be capable of waking up a sleeping HTPC, but I haven't yet tested that feature. [/QUOTE]
