I recently installed Media Portal, and am still getting used to it. I must say it is the best media center that I have used (except the fact that the computer its running on sucks).
I finnaly got it set up and almost running completely. All I have left is to set up the remote, but I cant figure it out for the life of me.
The remote I have is a crappy Packard Bell Fast Media, remote with a serial interface. I had it running with winlirc and a winamp plugin on my other PC a couple years ago.
So I plugged it into the Media portal box, downloaded winlirc and the config file for the remote. opened the config file though winlirc, set winlirc to start during startup and linked to the winlirc.exe in the media portal config mannager.
This is as far as I have gotten. I cant seem to figure anything else out. Can anyone offer some tips. Ive been googling and searching the forums here for hours.
thanks in advance.
EDIT:
BTW in case it matters, the machine its running on is as follows
Celeron 766Mhz
512 PC100 ram (@ 66Mhz crappy celeron bus speed)
ATI RAGE 3D LT PRO 8MB video card with TV out (not gonna do anything fancy but working good enough for now)
