It seems many of you recommend the MCE remote for Media Portal. So instead of buying one i want to be able to use another remote i have as an MCE one (ie. map all the MCE buttons onto my remote). Is there a listing of all the buttons on the MCE remote and the corresponding short cut key? so i can have my remote just generate key presses and send them to media portal.

AFAIK the MCE2005 remote doesnt work like that. It actually uses direct ir 'commands' or whatever you call it to lauch and doesnt simply map to key strokes.

I figured it worked like that. But arent there equivalent keyboard shortcuts for the MCE ir commands?
Not necessarily - there are some buttons on the MCE remote that do not have an equivalent keyboard shortcut (like the power-on/resume and green buttons).anything said:
I think that you would have to use something like HIP and then map the keys on your universal remote to the keyboard shortcuts - a list of these is in the MP Configuration, under "Keys and Sounds".

do those buttons on the MCE remote that dont have a keyboard shortcut work on the MCE remote in Media Portal?
Yes

it looks like the buttons on the MCE remote do different things based on what area of media portal you are in. is this right? can this be done with keyboard shortcuts?
Yes, some do, but it is fairly minor. For example, The channel up/down button changes TV channels in My TV, but does nothing when watching a DVD - which is a bit odd, as I would expect it to change chapters in DVD mode...anything said:
Not to my knowledge - but I don't think it would be necessary, anyway.anything said:
