Also, I suggest you use system wide mappings for every single button on the remote and then just customise those in the profile for each application. IE. Create system wide mappings for the arrow keys, PC button, big green button, etc.. and then redefine them on an application by application basis where needed. As you can imagine, for most applications the mapping of the arrow keys wont change.

Pretty fair.. I'll spend some time during the week end to configure it. Do you know of any existing template already mapping the most common keys?

I don't understand what you mean by HTPC and "relay" modes, can you elaborate?

It's still pretty fuzzy in my mind.. but I was thinking to have something similar to a small utility I found that simulate keys using the remote control. This utility has two modes you can switch between (if I remeber correctly you have to keep the green button pressed for 5 seconds to switch from one mode to another). In the first mode you are in the "standard" MCE remote mode (the one that would be supported by MP out of the box). The second mode is a custom mode where every key on the remote is mapped to an action (key press, blaster signaling etc.).
I would love something like that, and it would virtualy double the number of available keys on the remote.

I hope it's clearer now.

4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

Your observation is correct mate. Last time this happened the fires of hell invaded all shopping centers... this time I seem to be the only one in need - which is quite uncomfortable at best. I guess I should look for an alternate solution until and if other MP users realize they have no guide listings. Thank you for chiming in...
