[QUOTE="finrudd341, post: 271476, member: 68408"] [b]Fixed (sort of)[/b] Kevin, I have found a way to get my solution solved, but as I am learning, everyone has a slightly different requirement, issue and hardware type. The joys of MP! :) First let me recap what I wanted: 1. Using Zalman HD160XT Plus case, with 7" LCD Screen, and supplied iMON PAD OEM remote 2. Wanted 'wife proof' functionality of remote, and not an advanced mouse/pointer. Play, Pause, Stop, Skip, Rewind, Fast-Fwd in movie playback (DVD and from Hard Drive) and also in MP3 playback. 3. Shortcut access to the key areas I use in MP - at the moment being 'My Videos' and 'My Music' and perhaps later 'My DVD'. By shortcut I mean the primary coloured buttons on the iMON PAD remote for VIDEOS, MUSIC, PICTURES, TV and DVD. 4. Ideally some way of putting the HTPC into standby mode via the remote. So far, I have acheived 1,2 & 4 and 3 only needs a little more work. I finaly acheived this with help from the following two posts (after reading so many my head spins): [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/installation-configuration-support-53/imon-remotes-mapping-mediaportal-29442/[/url] and [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-47/shortcuter-plugin-shortcuts-mp-sections-32747/index4.html[/url] So thanks to MoPhat and Chemelli for their work. A couple of points to note: 1. Don't use the latest version of iMON - it probably wont work. I am using the version that came with my case, which is 6.20.0830 (Zalman) with firmware 0x3412 7" Touch LCD. 2. Don't allow iMON to automatically update itself when connected to the internet. This will probably stop it from working. It's still a lousy piece of badly developed software, but I do now have a working remote. This is the easiest solution I have found. I am not that happy with it, as I would rather scrap the whole iMON element and use the MP Touchscreen plugin, and still have my remote working, but until the new release of IR Server Suite comes out, this works. Hope this helps - let me know if not, and I will try and share some more of my experiences with you, even if it is the blind leading the blind! Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
