Hi Team!
Some Good News. I am running a USB-UIRT unit by Jonathan Rhees. This USB-UIRT unit has an external IR blaster taped to the front of my Comcast STB in order to change the channels as needed. In the USB-UIRT settings pages of MP1-Configuration, I modified the following settings:
- Use your remote to control MediaPortal is to be CHECKED.
- Repeat wait ms: from 300 (default) to 1000
- Repeat delay ms: from 100 (default) to 500.
- Go into "Learn MediPortal command". A pop-up window will appear. Make sure that "STEP FORWARD" and "STEP BACK" are CHECKED.

Everything is working now... except the keyboard volume up and volume down features. Just like before, press it once and it continuously runs that command. The keyboard mute key appears to be working at this time. I will run some tests. The log files are attached if they can help you.

I have a new question that has been present since I installed MP1. At the opening screen (Home), there are six pop-up windows. I have to navigate through them using ONLY my keyboard arrow keys and the ENTER button. When I use my mouse, it does not like it. For example, using the keyboard arrow keys, I navigate to "TV", then another window pop-up with "TV-Recordings-TV Guide-Scheduled recordings- Search TV Guide" options appear. If I navigate with my mouse, this second pop-up window disappears. I can only use my keyboard arrow keys and keyboard ENTER key to select the option I want (for example "Recordings" to watch a recorded TV show.) Is this behavior normal for MP1? Why am I not allowed to use my mouse?

If you need anything else for me to send you, please feel free to drop me a line. Thanks again! djm
