    Bit of an open question when you don't say what remote you have. Have you tried IRSS?

    That will allow you to map remote buttons for a variety of remotes to different applications. Otherwise, if that doesn't work then you can buy intelliremote, which will work a treat.

    In IRSS there is an option to completely disable the automatically assigned MCE remote buttons.

    If you select this and then use the IRSS Translator to remap each button, you can then assign any button to any function for any programme.

    Or ALT+F4 which will work for any Windows application including PDVD

    sorry to appear dumb but can i leave everything as it is and just assign say one of the coloured unused teletext buttons to replicate the suggestd alt+F4?
    can this be done within MP without external software

    Maybe,

    If the key is not already assigned to an MCE command.

    Just try it and see how you get on!

    I'm wanting to do the same thing but I can't figure it out. I've spent over an hour reading documentation and trying different settings but nothing works. Can someone possibly help out? I've got PowerDVD running in full screen as an external player for DVDs and BluRay. All I want to do it Alt+F4 it with the MCE/Harmony 525 once I've finished watching a disc so I can go back to the MP interface.

    ANY help would be appreciated. I'm tearing my hair out...

    @CyberSim was right. There was an order. I just checked the server configuration. But the command was in the client configuration of Powersheduler. I've corrected it now and hope it works now. I thank you for the support.

    I haven't found anything but it could have been an issue way back with the Madvr renderer and its introduction as an of the option in MP 1. Did you get a chance yet to check out the LAV install and settings?
