[QUOTE="mickgreen58, post: 670603, member: 107797"] First, I just want to say that MediaPortal is a great product. I have set up my HTPC and the last issue I have is my remote. I bought a SIIG MCE Remote and I chose "Microsoft MCE" in the MediaPortal Configuration Remote Options. A lot of the buttons work but Play/Pause/Stop etc etc do not work. I have tried LMRemote and that didn't fix the issue. I downloaded HIP but I didn't really understand that application. Also, I read on here where someone said to choose "General HID". Now, this made the Play/Pause/Stop etc etc buttons work, however I have no way of starting MediaPortal with this Remote. Once I close MediaPortal with the Remote, I cannot get any of the buttons to set focus on any of the desktop icons where I can scroll to MediaPortal. At this point, I am thinking about getting another remote that will absolutely work. However, I just wanted to find out if there was something I can use to remap this remote and some tutorials on how to do that. I have seen Intelliremote and Gird but those are not free. Right now, with General HID, my main issue now is how to launch MediaPortal using this remote. OS = Windows 7 Remote = SIIG VISTA MCE Remote [/QUOTE]
