Hi,
This is my first post having setup MP on my new HTPC and must say this is great look stuff. I’ve completed the initial setup of MP, but am having problems getting the MCE remote to work. I think the main problem is that I’m not grasping the technique of how to set it up.
It’s basically an Microsoft clone remote i.e. looks just like the Microsoft one but doesn’t have their logo (2nd image in the Remote tab in MP configuration screen). I’ve made the assumption that I don’t need to map any of the buttons as they’re probably already mapped. However, when I load up MP there’s no response. I can see my iR receiver flashing it’s led when I press a button, but no activity on the MP screen. What am I doing wrong?
I’ve been reading up on lots of posts regarding setting up remotes but still can’t understand the setup process. My preference is to use MP’s in-built remote configuration rather than the 3rd party plug-in to keep things simple (and tidy). However, if someone can guide my how to setup a 3rd party plug-in version (if it’s better compatibility) then I don’t mind that either.
Please help.
Thanks.
