I've just downloaded MediaPortal 1.0. I have a Dell Inspirion with front but controls and an IR remote. Please tell me what I need to configure it. I can't find any instructions on this.


Thank you,

Levi

what sort of remote do you have? there's several different methods depending on what remote you have.

there's the "remote" section in the configuration, i personally didn't have much success with this, so i installed the "ir server" plugin which can be found in here : MCE Replacement Plugin - MediaPortal Forum

although i am using it as a replacement for the built in MCE remote support, i ended up disabling the MCE-replacement section as it seemed to serve no purpose (and crashed the configuration too) - just the IR server plugin does everything i need it to. this works very well for me.

Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N. Again, if anyone knows how to do this, would be much...

Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.

It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz: Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is. Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...
