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.

Ran into this problem following an otherwise sucessful upgrade from MP 1.34 x64 to MP 1.35 x64 the CEC Remote plugin which I use just to control volume and standby, will no longer put my devices (TV & AVR) to sleep when the HTPC is put in standby. Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...

Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
